It's a very nice looking car judging from the pictures. Are you asking if you should sell it, or just asking what you should do to it to increase power/reliability?

That is a great looking bird. I think if its in good condition it would be worth some money in time since they dont make Firebirds anymore. Right now you might get somewhere in the $3000 to $5000 range for it. I say keep it and cruise it unless your really needing money.

That is a sharp looking 'Bird and a very cool picture to boot. I've always liked that nose on the GenIII cars the most. As mentioned above, in time it will go up in value since they no longer make Firebirds and probably won't again for some time. With rising gas prices that V6 should get you around town at a pretty reasonable cost and look good doing it. I'd vote to hang on to it. A F-Body is a F-Body...regardless of whether it's a V8 or V6. It's all about the enthusiasm for these vehicles and meeting people with the same passion.
