Default 1978 Sunbird Safari for sale MI $4000

Asking $4000

The car is an original Central CA car from the San Fransisco area, In the Original Chesterfield Brown Paint. Very Solid for a Astre/Vega body with a 1" rust hole at the bottom of the passenger side Front Fender, Rust under the battery tray (not the frame just the sheet metal ) all other areas rust free.

aprox 75,000 miles - Car was originally a 231 Buick V6 2bbl, with TH350 trans & Open 7.5" rear axle with 2.42 gears.

The car now has ported Highport Buick V6 heads (1979-86 style) Holly 4 bble intake with a non electric Q-jet from a 1980 Buick 252 V6 on the original 231 short block. Performance cam (I can't remember what make or spec's sorry) Hooker headers & duel 2 1/4" exhaust. It has a 200R4 Trans with B & M lock up converter controller. I also has an Auburn Posi with 4.11 gears put in the original 7.5" rear axle.

Still has the 4 lug axles with 13" Snowflake wheels with good center caps & Older Cooper Cobra white letter tires,

The car has Delay wipers, Tilt Column with a Formula Steering wheel, Delux interior that put the base 1978 Firebird seats in it, And better non plastic door panels.

It also has 1975 Astre grills as I liked that look better.

The engine runs but the short block is tired, it leaks oil and burns alittle.

I am open to offers without the little Snowflake Wheels if the buyer indends to convert it to 5 lug wheels.

Car is currently in storage in Alma MI.
