The Roughest Pontiac Firebird on Marketplace… Will it run?

Abandoned in 1989, this 305 powered Pontiac Firebird was left to rot away. But why? Today we will see if it will run and drive under its own power. Saving another muscle car from becoming scrap metal.

Let us know how far y’all would like us to go on this Ole Bird.

About the gearshift positions you were wondering about - the "S" and "L", officially, stand for "Super" and "Low", but it's just 2nd and 1st gear like on most any other automatic. A quart and a half wouldn't be anywhere near enough if it was too low to go into gear to start - I have a Cutlass Supreme with a TH350 that used to leak out a full gallon and a half when stored over the winter and still had just barely enough to get into gear. Definitely want to see more of this one.

Good to know. We ended up putting 4 quarts in it!

Well, my first car I bought was a 1974 Firebird with the 250 straight six in 1984 and Also needed severe rear subframe repair, re-recorded repair I bought a mid 70s Camaro shell cut the unit body frame out and re-attached to the Firebird body had it braised all back in quite a project for a young guy in my late teen to early 20s The alignment shop told me that I did an awesome job. It did not take much to align all four wheels. Boy, I miss that car

I seen a second gen firebird and had to come check it out, cool video👌. I love Pontiacs, i have a 79 10th anniversary TA. Looks like you got some work to do there 😅 mines a running driving project aswell but it looks pretty from across the street.. We probably got about the same amount of work to do though. Wishing you guys luck and wouldnt mind seeing more of this old bird.

My neighbour across the street has a silver one. It's not showroom quality, but she's probably in her 80s now and rarely drives it. If I had the money, I'd offer to buy it. I'd love to do a video of it, and interview her, but it would probably just be weird amd awkward. Apparently her late husband had a matching one, but I think it was gone already when we moved in 16 years ago.

love what i saw so far, it looks like its jus tweeking it, "painting" it to the "original color" sounds like silightly rough, just question, it seems like was running great but is it "nornal" to have the white smoke" coming upwards etc when you drove it for that short time.? let me ask this, for a normal car brand new or slightly used car low miles is smoke normal with or without the hood attached like you demonstrated. is that what they call pull it over over heating etc? sorry for the wording.

@RealSteelFabrications 5 ай бұрын

Doesn’t help the exhaust is off and I’m sure it’s burning off all the dust/grease that has been baking on the last 30 years

@motov8-garage832 5 ай бұрын

Smoke can obviously mean trouble, different types, colors and depending where the smokes coming from, means different issues. To me it's just second nature 😅, You asked a question with many answers and explanations. I recommend reading or watching lots of automotive type material. I started to write out an explanation for ya because I'm board..but it's just to much to explain.
