PHS on the 71 Esprit, pretty good option list and cost more than some Formula's. Wish it was one!

I know what you mean... I wouldn't sell that car... its a keeper.. right colors... One of a kind.. you'll never find another. Car was sold new about 2 hours from here...

Any story on it making its way that far north???? BTW - I'm from Spokane... and I used to live in Libby.. Hardin... And Colstrip Montana... I know the area... I'm not just a dumbass Californian... well maybe a dumbass. ..

Very sweet PHS on that 72 Bird!

PHS shows it to be factory stripe? Body side molding factory?

Default Correct PHS

I wasn't thinking yesterday, THAT scan of PHS is for 71 car (white car) here is 72 PHS silver car. It wasn't as spendy, power windows not optioned on 72 like 71 has. You can see side stripes on this PHS.

Whats it worth? this a check to see if you can still walk upright? or you a flipper? Its a 15-18K car all day long. Its a time capsule from what I see. Is this A Sunlight Yellow car ( 51)? or Desert Sand?? ( 56) I would clean and drive it the way it is, just to be different!
OH, and Congrats! You bought THE most Popular Second gen Firebird made!! ( Esprit)

No I'm not a flipper but I have 2-3 years left on my 67 GTO restoration (total basket case) and I was burnt out. Needed something to drive until I finish that car so I picked up a 71 LeMans two months ago after much searching. That put me in the habit of watching out for cars in the want ads and then I saw this and got sucked in. I'm hoping to keep all three now as they are all great cars Just curious on others thoughts of value to know if I did a good job picking the right ones at the right price. I need to quit looking at car ads now lol. -- color is 56 56 on tag
Thanks!

Here is the LeMans

Nice looking car but there's no way that car does 15-18k. More like 10-13.
