1971 Pontiac Firebird Pro-Touring Project

1971 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am Clone Description

1971 Trans-Am clone (Originally Formula 350)

No Reserve Auction - If you bid, be prepared to buy it

Recently moved from CA to MI. Now moving back to CA and I don’t want to move it again. Need to sell ASAP for moving expenses and other things.

Been restoring/building for the last several years in my spare time. Car was built from the ground up and was just a shell when I purchased it. West coast car that had almost no rust. Just a couple small spots in the trunk which I patched with new metal. Everything on the car is either new or restored, and most items have been upgraded from stock. Built as a pro-touring style car that could be driven daily if desired. Nothing too radical or crazy. Just an easy to start and drive muscle car that should get decent fuel mileage. The car build is near completion, however there are a few things that still need to be completed. Way too many items to list everything, but here are the highlights. Have countless receipts totaling over $30K. Willing to take a huge loss due to circumstances. Have lots of progress/build pics if there's anything you want to see.
