Cool ... it's good to see a formula. Are you planning to do some paint & bodywork on it?
-
I have my body guy ready for a trade out on the body&paint work.
-
nice find dave!!!!!!! hopefully i'll have another 71 comming yet this weekend if we can get it figured out.
-
RE: y88rick why do you say that rick. ??? ??? ??? ??? ??? ??? ??? ???
-
i mean i may be getting another 71 tomarrow if i can meet up with the guy he's the one with a trailer and i dont have one. how much did you get yours for?
-

-

-
Makes me want one. Nice ride!
-
Nice find Keep the pictures coming
-
RE: holtzel WHY do you think i have one now. ivan had to tempt me in to getting one also i do love this body style also.
-
i hear you dave i really hear you lol.
-
I was outside today cleaning up the old 73 bird, and it brings back alot of good times that i had when i was a kid.I had several 73 firebirds when i first got my d/L.
-
funny now i have owned 4 71's no 70's 72's i had a 73 formy once.

wich do you feel is harder to find?
-
truely i'd say a 72 looking at their production numbers for any model that year, i can understand why. on the other hand i do know where a 72 is but the guy wants an arm, leg and maybe both testicles for a project car just too much if you ask me.

The 1972 model year's numbers are so low because of a prolonged strike at Norwood. By the time the issues were resolved and the plant reopened, it was past the scheduled release of the 1973 models. The cars in process on the line could not meet the new-for-1973 DOT collision standards so the entire in-process inventory was scrapped. There were a lot of perfectly GOOD cars that were sent to the crusher, including some HO engines. It was enough to make you sick. :P
-
That just did make me ill.why would you do such a bad thing like that. :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'(
-
this guy wants 4200 for litterally a rolling shell. motor interior and all wiring is junk and the roof and pinchwelds need attention unsure about the trunk floor as its filled with coon crap cannot see under the car either. its probably worth all of 800 if that.
-
oh its just a base model bird too. with like a 74 locked up 350 in it.
-
RE: y88rickI think that guy has a serious disorder of the brain,wich has made him think the way he does.
-
RE: rick that really blows,thats why there is a shortage of 72 left. I think they shoud have sold them anyway thats just the way i see it.
-
so do i.
-
That is why we decided to save as many as we can.WE all can save a transam/firebird or two you just have to want to do it.
-
THIS is really good,NOT::::::::: i put an add on craiges list for a parts transam for my 1973 formula. I got a reply to a whole transam in the junk yard,so i call this junk yard they say we have the transam,but no title. I then said so now what,he says i cant sell you the whole transam without a title. I was told by the guy that sent me the msg,the transam could be bought. THE dude at the junk yard says,i told him it had no title its parts only. I think that blows. >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'(
-
Tell the guy that you want to buy all the parts. See about pulling the engine and then remove the fenders, then its not considered a car. It would be considered parts. You could still get a title for the car if you really needed to, just takes some time.
-
very sweet congradulations
-
tell him you will buy it without a title and just a bill of sale as a body shell like junk yards do with truck cabs
-
Congrats! Nice looking car! I love the early birds!
-
RE: 1fast78 the guy said its allreay to be parted out.The junk yard is 1hr2 hrs from my house,and i have the weekend shift at work. that is a good idea for future (ref)
-
Man that sucks.
-
Yeah the junkyard stuff sucks, went up to the pull a part and they had a 72 Firebird up there I wanted the whole car but they said they wouldnt sell it and it ended up being crushed. I just went to a yard yesterday that has 75 to 100 acres of land and there is a car on ever bit of it. They had two Trans ams and said they had a Formula but i dint find it. Had over 20 68 and 69 Camaros but no Firebirds. Even had a Mach 1 Mustang,a bunch of old stuff like chevy,ford,pontiac,mopar, and even AMC. They had 2 Gremlins and a AMX. Had a really decent shape 59 Catalina with a motor in it was a big block. Would that big block be a 421 or ?
-
RE: jsevans12 pull the #s off the block and run them. They might be stamped like a 400 im not sure.If it were close to my house i would check if i was you.
-
I LOVE walking around junk yards. just tryin to think up a story for every car there
-
tell him you will buy it without a title and just a bill of sale as a body shell like junk yards do with truck cabs
will that work,he acts lke hes only selling parts not the frame of the transam.
-
it works on pick up trucks i dont see how it wouldnt work on a bird. some people classify the frame as the car and others classify the body as the car.
-
I LOVE walking around junk yards. just tryin to think up a story for every car there
You must have a-lot of TIME on your hands.
-
haha no i have just had many cars that required going to the junk yard in the past. since i bought my new car i havee been a little upset becasue i haventt had to go in a while.
-
When I go back up there I'll check thinking its a 389 or a 421. I traded a old beaten up Buick GS for one of those gremlins up there. ThInk I might try to buy the pair of trans am's later this summer.
-
its crazy how much they make off some cars.
-
Yeah it is! I know this isn't a AMC site but if and when I get that gremlin I am going to try to put a LS1 in it, lower it some and tub it out but put street legal tires on it. I am thinking on painting it PPG Tangerine Pearl. Those T/A's I am going to get all the useable stuff off of if I get them cause there to far gone to restore.
-
YES i do agree,some salvage yards do an item price.they charge the sametransam/escort for hoods ect.
-
Man that sucks.
I really want that transam,cant get to the salvage yard in time. I thank you for your help dave.
-
this is very nice car, I have had one early 2008, I bought it from ebay, it was nos match looks and sounds and drives great. congrat. and good luck with it.

It cant hurt to get 2 at a time. I can say this you will allway's SELLLLLLLLLLLL the parts ALLLLLLLLLLwAAAAAAY'S.This is fun L.O.L
-
yeah I am going to try to get them, didnt trade that Gs for that gremlin my cousin has a falcon and I am trying to trade him. Selling the parts gets good money to work on the project T/A and helps pay for my new addiction besides trans am's, I am talking about tattoo's got my first one friday wouldnt even halfway done and already wanted another.
-
RE: jsevans12 DON'T even go there im not even sure i can get my ink done now,it's because the hospital has a new policy about tattoo's.I can see if i move it if i can still get it or not. >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :( :( :( :( :( :( :(
-
What kind of policy do they have? What do you want and where?

They should have kept them, and sold them now :P that would be cool. "Thousands of 72 Pontiac's just appeared, never registered etc" :P
-

Funny little bracket/housing around the overflow tank
Hard to come by a 350 Pont. engine around here.
Are you going to leave it in the car or are you super sizing it?
-
RE: Nexus yes as it is sold for$2500.00. will not part this out.
-
That's good...I think it should remain intact...maybe spice up the 350 but deffinatley leave it in...
I'm jealous!!!
I ony have two Firebirds in my yard and one on my dad's place which should probably got to the scrap yard but I am having a hard time parting with it...It's in rough shape!!!

YES that is true. I think money should all be wourth the same every were its used.

THIS is the first i can say, i am confused say what .
-
haha. You said money should be worth the same wherever it is used. That is the premise behind a "one world order." A single currency that has the same value world-wide.
-
haha. You said money should be worth the same wherever it is used. That is the premise behind a "one world order." A single currency that has the same value world-wide.
Yup it's true
-
Right ... so the US has to devalue her currency in order to make things "equitable" from a world-wide perspective. We can't have more than our fair share afterall. You don't think BO wants to scuttle the ship, do you? Unless he's looking for something on the world stage, why would he want to do irreparable harm to the US?
