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.

Some Interior Pic's The carpet it shot, the drivers seat has some stitching coming loose, and is worn, all other seats are in good original condition, Door panels are good, but the plastic chrome is peeling on the panel trim. Headliner is good. The plastic side panels have wear on them, and the rear carpet is stained.

I added a Small Tach in dash where the stock indash clock would go, and Oil pressure & coolant gauges to the shifter plate.

Suspension Mods V8 Monza 1 1/8" front anti roll bar & 7/8" rear bar, I redrilled 1980's aluminum rear drums off of a cutlass to replace the stock cast iron drums, Front brakes are stock vented rotors.

The car has Power Steering and Brakes, along with the stock long style center console & Shifter. The stock shifter was modified to work with the 4-speed OD Transmission. The car is a A/C car, the but A/C does not work, and many parts were missing when I purchased it in 2004.

When I used to race it it ran Mid 14's in the 1/4 mile.

I just don't drive it sense I bought the V8 Solstice. It needs to go to someone who will enjoy it.

GT Dash available for additional $$$$
