Latest addition to the Tribe, 1997 Firebird Convt
Well I was looking for something that would get 30 or so MPG, be fun to drive, and cost less then $7000.00. I came up with this slightly scraped up 1997 Firebird Convertable, 3800 V-6, T-5 five speed, and it has the rear wheel disc and duel exhaust outlet options. The car was bought at a police auction by the previous owner, 44,000 miles, interior is actually pretty good, Grey Cloth. And it is quicker than I expected it to be, and I averaged 29 MPG on the 440 mile drive home.
It does have a few things to take car of, it is missing the drivers side sunvisor, the drivers side tail light is cracked, the drivers side headlight motor is making a grinding noise after the headlight retracts. And for some reason the radio display quit working after I put a CD into it, every things still works, AM/FM & CD, but now there is no display. Paid alittle more than I wanted to at $6500.00 , but it but the engine , trans, and clutch seem solid.

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs.
