Hi -
I used to own this car. I loved it and drove it for years. In one way its a classic because it 1992 was the start of the new versions of the Firebird (built here in Montreal), but thats about it.
If the price is right, what you could do is buy it, fix it up, and then re-sell it to a collector. There are lots of firebird sides on the Net and there are lots of people (like me) who REALLY appreciate these cars.
You will always hear opionions from all kinds of people who have never owned one of those cars. My advice would be to just ignore them, and talk to some real owners. They will tell you why any Firebird would have more or less value than any other.
Personally as I said, I loved it (I have owned 10 Firebirds so far). I think the worst ones might have been the 1991's as they tended to rattle alot, but otherwise they were all fun.
Believe it or not, they did ok on gas, and they were safe. I unfortunately crashed a couple of them and walked away without even a scratch.
If you can find them, look for any "Firehawk" Formula's. These cars kicked ass. They were lighter, lower to the ground, and fucking fast. Another good alternative is the WS6 Formula. While the Trans-am's had all the bells and whistles, they were heavier too and felt more "luxury" than the very sporty feeling Formula's.
I have always loved the Firebird / Camaros. Here's my new baby
Enjoy!
