The scrap guy is hauling it away as I type this. And so ends the era of my wild and reckless youth. Hopefully somebody gets some useful parts off it before they crush it. Guess I’ll go buy a Corolla and some beige slacks now :(

Let us commiserate in solidarity for the memory of our fallen brethren.

Sorry man, sad to see a Firebird go away :(

Sounds awful, but if you’re parting out stuff, I’d be interested in the bird front license plate cover if it’s in good shape. Mine was destroyed by a stupid Honda CR-V with a long receiver hitch.

I’ve got a 98 WS6 in the garage that needs an owner that will drive it.

Less than 30K miles, black, 6 speed. Only mods are exhaust. Putting it up for sale this spring.

Sounds awesome man. Mine was a ‘98 too. There’s just no way I could afford something like that right now.

It wasn’t worth saving. The driver’s side door was falling off the hinges, a/c was shot, paint was peeling all over, something in the rear suspension was broken, one of the taillight covers was smashed, and to top it off the motor was locked up.

And there was a spider in it.

Similar story - I’ve got at 99 WS6 with 40k on the clock. Can’t bring myself to sell it though for some reason.

I hope you sent those ugly wheels to the scrapyard with the ‘bird. lol

Always loved the style of the 4th gen Firebird. The post facelift ones still look good to me today.

the WS6 is an amazing car. Regardless of how much I can’t stand the interior...

If it ran it would have made a hell of a Lemons car.

If it was up to me, I might say yes! Hah. Unfortunately for both of us, the car is my wife’s. Her baby... She’s only selling it because it does’t get driven. At all. Like 600 miles in the last 3 years...

ETA: Thought you offered up a Miata. No thanks on the 3. I already own a 400 hp MS3. :-)

She’ll be ready for test drives and best-offers in about a month when I pull it out of the garage and wash it.

I’m also looking at getting into another 4th Gen, so would be curious to see an ad or at least photos as well.

There is nothing wrong with the Corolla. It is a great car that will give you many enjoyable miles. For a little more excitement, check out the sporty Corolla S :)

The Echo is a cool fun car with lots of space, but it wasn;t available with a sunroof :(

What is your price range?

No problem! I’ll bookmark this post and update when I get her cleaned up.

Just to add, although it has spent the last few years as a garage queen, it’s by no means some perfect 10 condition car. It’s in really nice shape but that’s because it hasn’t been used nearly as much as most 18 year old cars. I’m not exactly sure what I want to get out of the car but I’m thinking in the $8K range. Admittedly I have no idea what they are selling for so I need to do some research.

I was just kidding about the Corolla. I’m looking at C4 Corvettes as a replacement.

Don’t worry, I’m actually shopping for a C4 ‘vette ;)
