Parting Out 1989 Firebird Formula

The Engine has been sold
The exhaust manifolds have been sold
The MAF mounting bracket has been sold
The brake proportioning valve has been sold
The engine wire harness and ECM has been sold 12-31-21

IT is time to clean out my garage and get rid of what is left of the donor 89 formula I used to restore my Formula. The car was a running driving 305 TPI automatic car when I took it apart. The body and interior parts are listed in separate posts. I will sell everything as one lot if anyone is interested. Everything is located in Springfield Ohio. I will list a few asking prices, but Feel free to make an offer on any part.
305 TPI running engine (previous owner said it was rebuilt 1000 miles before I took it out of the car), automatic radiator $75

305 TPI engine $300




Automatic radiator $75

According to the RPO codes, the rear end is a GU2 (2.73) and G80 (limited slip). I may be willing to sell it if I can find a way to scrap the rest of the car without being able to roll the chassis. Call or text 937-781-6449. Thanks,

I'll take the runners if they are 100% perfect. No dents what so ever.
and the factory OEM MAF sensor. Must be the OEM GM sensor, not an aftermarket replacement.

The RPO codes show the rear end as GU2 (2.73 gear) and G80 (limited slip) and it has drum brakes.

Re: Parting Out 1989 Firebird Formula

You can get a new unit on Amazon or Rock Auto for around $125. I would not be willing to remove the tank to get to the sending unit for that, You are better off with a new unit.

Were the seats in good condition?
That carpet looks decent, too. Is it in good shape?
