      1979 Firebird - LS, T56, Ridetech, etc.

      Guys,

      I'm tossing around the idea of selling the car and finding another project. The car is a '79 Firebird, originally a Nocturne Blue 301/four barrel 4-speed. In 2000, the car was repainted by the previous owner (I'd give a 7/10, there are a few chips but the paint job has held up extremely well). I bought it 5 years ago, blew it completely apart and got most of it to where I wanted it to be. In my opinion, the only things left on my list is in the interior really. It needs a headliner, I have new door glass to put in, and I'd like to have carpet made to fit the new tunnel better. It's a very good driving car, runs great, and doesn't really need anything. I love the car but I like the build process as well so we'll see what happens. I have a more detailed parts list as well, these are just some of the main pionts.




      • Rebuilt 5.3, 706 heads w/ trunnion upgrade & .660 dual springs, BTR LS1/LS2 stage 2 cam, LS1 intake w/ Holley fuel rails, F body T56 w/ Silversport PerfectFit conversion. 3K miles on setup.
      • Ultimate Longtubes, full exhaust (x-pipe)
      • Holley Terminator X. Fuel system is set up with a Holley regulator, filter, Aeroquip braided stainless/Earl’s Vapor Guard hose, and AN fittings. 255lph pump in Tanks Inc tank.
      • Holley accessory drive (non AC)
      • 31 spline 10 bolt w/ 3.73 gears
      • Full American Autowire Classic Update
      • Dakota Digital VHX w/ BIM module for Holley and GPS speedometer.
      • Full ridetech suspension, CPP hub spindles w/ SKF hubs, C5 brakes up front, Wilwood Dynapro’s rear, Wilwood manual brake master cylinder.
      • New Corbeau seats
      • Year One 17x9 Snowflakes (245/40 front, 275/40 rear)
      • Subframe has had seams welded up and been powdercoated, engine bay has also been taken down (DSE fill panel welded in) and painted.
      • New front floor pans and Speedtech trans tunnel. The rest of the car is solid. Only one rust spot left in bottom of the tail panel (have another tail panel but it hasn’t affected anything so I was leaving it for another day).

      Thanks! I want to be realistic with it. It'd be tough for me to find another one of these in this shape and build it again for the same price!

      Would also be interested in trading for a 68-70 LeMans or GTO depending on build.
