I saw a very clean looking '83 Firebird SE with the 305 for sale and was wondering if this might be an OK car for my son. Are there any problem areas I should look for?
Thanks,
Phil

watch rear shock mounts(in floor) for rust...other than that they are a good car!

watch out for ones with 455's in them they can be quick for real i haven't had any problems with mine, 20 year old bilstein stuts still work fine and the shocks are ok, i mean it's held togeater real good. stock headlight acuators still work fine, only thing i had to replace has been electric window motor on the drivers side and the button too. great car ez to make fast, ive swaped motors in it like it has zuze fasters on the mounts
