New $100 Project Car: 1991 Pontiac Firebird Rescue (Ep.1)

Time for the start of a new project car series, this time covering a 1991 Pontiac Firebird Coupe with a 305 small block Chevy engine and a 700R4 transmission. My neighbor needed to get rid of it but didn't want to send it to the scrapyard, so he offered it to me for $100 and I gladly accepted. It has quite a few miles and has been sitting for a few years, so there is a lot of work to be done on this project!

July 12th-13th, 2018 (Oil Change, Washing, etc.)

Imagine selling your crap car to your neighbor for 100 dollars then the next day you see him drive out of his garage with it looking brand new.

man id love to have a project car to work on as my first car, nothing like owning a car you fixed yourself

[FinnJohnson]

What a steal! A driveable 91 Firebird for $100 is like a dream come true... I'm insanely jealous but at the same time super happy it didn't get scrapped

This made me happy and sad. I met my future wife in 1987 when I was 18 years old. She had a new 1986 Trans_am burgundy color. I asked if I could drive it and 31 years passed with us. We also owned a beautiful arctic white 1985 Trans Am. I miss it. But my wife had a stroke this Dec and died Jan 3 2019. Id trade all in the world for her again. But I have memories. Trans Ams are part of it. She actually picked out the Mustang we own now and have had 8 years.. Or I guess I own alone now :( Ill never get rid of it.

The broomstick cost 50% of the total price of the car.

love that sarcasm 😂😂👌

[RobPGamerVaper]

I'm blown away
$100 can't get you Used Windsheild on that car
actually you can't really even find a running 90's car for $100
What a steal

This video hit home with me .. the ending part of the video i really resonate with. My father bought an 83 Mustang GT back in the 90's. He loved that car with everything he had. He drove it everyday and would put it through its paces. Somewhere along the way he lost track of the car, he sold it to a friend when times were tough and never saw it again. I grew up around Mustang culture and the cars themselves. He would always talk about his Red and black 83 mustang and how he loved it. A couple of years ago with the VIN number in hand i set out to find it, and I succeeded. last year on January 7th i brought it home, the look on his face when he saw it is something ill never forget. He was shocked to see it after all these years, and happy that it had survived. He didn't want it though, and told me that he wanted me to have it and keep it alive. That's what i intend to do!

Keep making these videos man!

LoL 😂 I know the feeling. My favorite part

[yanpisar]

the 1990's were so weird. The era gave us some of the ugliest and also some of the most beautiful cars

[Gyrbae]

You talk about the car so lovingly it's like you got a rescue dog from a shelter and gave it a new, loving home.

[shironhun]

"Then we'll get it nice and clean, so the spiders have a new smooth surface to lay their eggs on"
lmao

My dads last car was a 65 Pontiac Catalina, that he bought 2 years old from my brother, he loved that car and only lived 2 or 3 mos before passing away suddenly of a heart attack at 48 years old, I was 5 going on 6, but the memories of him and that car, I guess made me a lifelong Pontiac man, I'm 57 years old now, I have a son of my own who's going in 14, and we have a 73 Grand Prix, even though we always have a newbie in the garage, and my wife's car, there's basically always been a Pontiac in the other garage, since I'm 16, in honor of my dad

Me: "So what's wrong with the car?".

Owner: "Oh, well the head gasket blew, every rod knocks, suspension is shot, rockers are gone, frame has rotted away to nothing, paints bad, starters bad, timing belts broke, radiators broke, windows are stuck, AC dosen't work, driveline is broke, tires are bald and flat, and there is no interior."

Me: "Sounds great, I'll take it".

Owner: "Oh yeah, the T-top leaks".

Me: "Shit, nevermind".
