1978 400 4sp
« on: April 07, 2014, 11:19:21 PM »
Hi,

I am moving on to another car and selling my car.

Do you have any idea what a car like this is worth?

Thanks in advance, as I am not sure about the fiream parts that were on the car when I bought it 20 years ago.

1978 FIREBIRD TRANSAM  69,XXX MILES ORIGINAL NUMBERS MATCHING PONTIAC 400 /4 SPD.

2W87Z8L128019

Last drove in 2006.

VSE Fiream parts include:

VSE front-structure kit
VSE front-end lowering kit
VSE battery-relocation kit

 racing belts, and harnesses
VSE dry-sump lubrication system

Need more details on the over all condition of the car along with detailed pictures.  Might be interested if condition/price fits

seems to be pretty solid and the '78s a popular year, plus the 4sp helps. never could figure out why they put a blue bird on with tan interior. will need paint/body/int work and it will bring more money if running. does motor run?

Without having documentation stating those are indeed Fiream parts on the car and probably the least desirable color combo  I would say it's a $7500 car.  Looks relatively clean but it's gonna need paint and interior work for sure.  More than likely due to the moisture damage underneath from storage, all mechanicals will need to be gone through.  One thing I thought was if you had a TA the was modified with Fiream stuff would have the specific Fiream decal package but this one does not??

Thanks for the reply, I was hesitant to even go look at the car, when I bought it because of the color, and no clue who Herb Adams was.  The car drove so well I did not care about the color and no t-tops. I was given a binder  with the the original VSE part catalog and orders that showed what was on the car, and deleted. (He took the 180 degree headers off due to noise, not sure on the decals as there were none on it when I bought it.  I saw one of his old pictures with the blue bird so I bought another blue bird.
Thanks
