'71 Firebird Formula 400 FS!

Well, the time is just not right for me to undertake this project, not enough space or time so its up for sale...not gonna put it on evilbay for a bit though.
The worst part is the forward part of the passenger side quarter panel, and there is also minor rust at the bottom of both front fenders, and a spot on the drivers side quarter. The drivers door is rusted beyond repair on the bottom corner, but I have allready obtained another door that will go with the car. Interior is pretty good, the dash and headliner are perfect along with the sunvisors. The carpet is fair, appears to have been replaced at some point but is dirty. Front seats need repair where the pics show, and the back seat needs a little stitching at the very top where it is starting to seperate. The center console box has been covered in some materiel thats not correct. The door panels are pretty straigt, but could use some dye in spots. In the pic where it shows the steering wheel, there is a piece missing under the dash and you can see some wires....well i have the piece in good shape, I removed it to install the tach and have not put it back on yet. the windshield is cracked. The rear valence panel under the taillights needs replaced due to rust. The trunk and inner fenders are in good shape.
New brakes on all 4 corners, new master cylinder.new tires on rear

the odometer reads 80271, but the speedo cable is broken so I dont know how accurate that is. The fluids and filters on the engine and trans are fresh, along with belts and hoses and tune-up goodies. Runs and shifts very well.

The roof is solid, no sunroof or anything, there are 2 spots of surface rust starting to bubble, but they are smaller than a dime.
The window channels are also rust free

Thanks
