1992 Pontiac Firebird Description

I will consider all offers.
This is (was) a sort of father-son project, but now neither of us have time to work on it so it needs to go.
I'll do my best to describe condition and such... full disclosure.
Let me start with what we've done so far and then I'll describe general condition. You know the good, the bad and the ugly....
-Energy Suspension Poly bushings all the way around
-Fresh shocks
-Freshsteeringlinks
-UMI (I think, it's red) adjustable panhard bar
-Aluminum LS1 drive shaft
-LS1 brakes both front and rear with working park brake
-Drilled rotors and new pads (minus about 10K as it sits now)
-LT1 rear axle with 3.24 Posi courtesy of that '93 donor Camaro which is also for sale, please see my other listing.
-The "dog bone" bar that ties front end.
-Full EGR delete
-AC delete
-55?LB injectors
-Edelbrock air filter
-Fresh generator-Fresh belt-Fresh iridiumspark plugs
-Fresh spark plug wires and cap with runner
-Edelbrock headers
-Magnaflow small cat, which wouldn't pass CO2 inspection in most states, but it doesn't matter now since the car is over 25 years old.
-Grantsteeringwheel
-B@Mshifter. B@M didn't make mounting plates for '92 Firebirds, so I made "custom" mount. It's not the best, but it does work.
-Alpine head unit with all updated Sony speakers. Definitely sounds better than stock
-New outer window seals (not installed)
-Some other bits and pieces I am forgetting, but that's normal I guess.There is solid $4K in parts there if not more.
Body is in good condition with minor surface rust. There is one "bad rust" spot under AC box thing. This most likely is one of those cars that was painted in California with one of those "eco friendly" paints so it was/is peeling. I sanded and sprayed most trouble areas with spray can primer. The idea was to do a pro paint when we have time and funds so priming job was mainly to prevent further rust.
Car is garaged now, so further rusting situation is pretty much under control.
Underside and suspension components were sprayed with Rustoleum and it held up well for the most part. There is some surface rust, but cancer and no holes.
Plastic is almost good. There is a small hole in rear bumper and front ground effects are scuffed up and missing small pieces.
Wheels that are on now are original GM 15" mesh wheels. Front ones sporting some major spacer to clear those massive LS1 calipers and as a result rob inner fenders at full turn. But the car was not driven daily and the wheels there mostly "for show" so not a lot of damage in that department. Because car sits in the garage, there is no any considerabledry rot either
Interior is as clean as I could get it with few rounds of shampoo and carpet cleaner, but honestly, I'd replace the at least the carpet. When we got the car it smelled rodents and it still does. There is no head liner and no visors. Driver seat rail moves, but need to be persuaded.
T-Tops are plastic and for being such are not very smooth on the outside. They didn't leak but start "howling" at around 75 MpH
I installed replacement OEMN dashpad and it too cracked too. These cars need subframe connectors and tower braces from factory.
Hi-Lo beam switch is broken. Trunk closing motor needs fixing. One headlight doesn't pop up. Nothing too bad and all can be fixed relatively cheap.
Engine has circa 74K miles on it, and was ok up until last year when it started leaking from either main bearing or one of the breather holes (I strongly hope it's the hole, but not sure). This was switly attributed to new 3.24 axle which had poor little 305 working overtime. We didn't care much as at this point nobody was driving it anyway and we had LT1 to swap in.I keep battery on a tender and start/drive the car once in a while. So it starts and drives no problem. Add a little oil and you can drive it cross country (maybe).Suspensionand brakes have random squeaks when I drive it, but I think it's due to the fact that car sits most of the time and most of rubber insulation needs replacing.
I have clear title in hand. The car is registered to my Son's name in NJ. But car is located in Mt. Pocono, PA. I think it was last inspected in 2016.
I realize it's a lengthy description. But I wanted to describe the car to the fullest detail. Nevertheless, please feel free to ask questions.Please understand that although this car can be driven as it sits now, it's a project car and needs to be finished to fully enjoy driving it.
No deposit required, but I will only accept cash at pickup for payment.
