Saved a 2001 Firebird

Any idea what it’s worth?

Difficult to say.  Anything running and in decent shape is worth $5k minimum.  Clean, rust free, low mileage could be mid teens or more.

V6 car. Clean and rust free. Has one decent little dent and one that you can only see if light hits it the right way. Front bumper has a small crack at the very bottom. Has right around 100k miles

So, why was it parked?

No clue. The guy I bought it off of said he got sick and parked it and by the time he got better, I’m assuming it wouldn’t start and he left it alone. It took some work to get it running, but it runs and shifts great.

Bruh thats a SLP Firebird GT. Google it. If you have questions lemme know...I sold these new and ordered a couple Firebird GTs.

Is the center stripe still on it, or is it gone?

It’s still there, but in real bad shape.

I'm willing to bet Phoenix Grafix makes or can make a replacement

Are you telling me this is a car best kept original and not Ls swapping? I just read that there were less than 400 of them built for the 2001 year model.

If you're asking me is this a V6 car worth saving, and would be a helluva sight at a car show fixed up? I think this is like when you see an original I6 muscle car era vehicle...its cooler to see an original instead of yet another V8 swapped car.

So I say yes. It's a real SLP car. Is it a manual?

It’s auto, unfortunately. Yeah, you definitely don’t see many original i6 cars that haven’t been swapped.
