I hate to say this because it sounds like I'm disrespecting your Firebird, but, SELL IT ON! V6 'birds are a dime a dozen and unless your mileage is very low and the body work, paint, interior, carpet, dash, door gaps, etc are in pristine condition, I doubt resale value will be higher than what you have into it + what you need to put into it.
...now, that being said, I'm somebody who just put $4,000 into a $1,500 Trans Am which is now worth only (about) $1,800. I love my T/A and for that reason I'm not bothered. I expect to see my car bio-degrade around me.
If you like the Firebird and it is otherwise in excellent shape, repair it. If it is simply "good" condition, or worse, part with it. Plenty of old men bought V6 birds, garaged them, took excellent care of them, and those Firebirds are only worth a couple hundred dollars more than yours.
You need to decide, what is it worth TO YOU. ...no one can advise you what to do but yourself. This isn't a "my battery isn't charging, what should I do?" type question.
Good luck, whatever YOU decide is the right choice.
