I just answered an email with a long-winded here. Going to paste the relevant parts here. Some are redundant, but it may answer some questions for people.

_____________________________________________
I bought the car in 2005. Had it shipped sight unseen from Ohio. Most of the bodywork was done. Therefore, I don't know which panels were replaced. The car is not wavy so I don't think there is much filler. Supposedly it was an Arizona car for 90% of it's life, then moved to OH. I only have the seller's word on that. That being said, the car does not look like a bondo filled $3,000 4 Door Bel Air. It looks good. There is no prevalent rust. There are 2 dings that I'm aware of . SMALL dings. Paintless repair. There are a few scratches. Nothing ridiculous, but if you're looking for perfection, there are a few spots to fix. Again, the car looks good. It's not a 20 footer. It's a one footer.

I've never had the engine out of the car. Always planned to, but it runs perfect so I never did. I have no idea if it was rebuilt but it runs too good not to have been. I put an Edelbrock 4 barrel intake and 600CFM electric choke carb. Both are still on the car and work well. It came with dual exhaust. Sounds great. Last fall I put new shocks all around, new leafs in the rear and new bushings. The car ride great. Also, last fall, put a rebuilt 3.73 POSI rear with all new brake hardware and new rear brake lines. Car takes off and stops perfectly. There's a SMALL drip, I noticed, coming from the rear diff cover. I didn't have time to tighten that up, but I'm sure it's a loose cover. I scraped off the old gasket myself, put the new one on and filled the pumpkin. The rear has about 5 miles on it since I installed it.

The car came with the original 2 speed auto. I took it out and installed a rebuilt TH-350 with a mild shift kit. It shifts very well and crisp (not crazy chirping the tires, just crisp). I'm not into burnouts.

I put a desert cooler radiator in when I first got the car. I had a '61 Chevy that overheated and I was determined to not have that again. This car has never overheated. I installed a temp gauge under the hood just-in-case. It has never read above 190 whenever I've looked at it.

I've replaced the engine wiring harness and rear wiring harness. When I got the car, the wiring was mess. I replaced the wiring with new harnesses from M&H.

I found an original steering wheel and restored it. It came out just OK. If I had the time I'd redo it - I have better skills now. However, it is a correct 1968 FB deluxe steering wheel, which came with the car.

The horn only works when the car is hot. No clue why. I suspect the horn relay. Never bothered me as my inspection is in August and it's always hot. : )

Power top works fine. The top itself is in great shape.

The console cover that surrounds the shifter is loose. It's missing a pin. Never bothered me either as I intended to put an aftermarket shifter in. Never did.

The heater mixing valve doesn't work well. Meaning, the heat is always on. Not the fan, but when you're on the highway, the floor vents blow warm air. I had always planned on disconnecting the radiator hose from the heater to fix this as I only drive it in the Summer. If you want correctly functioning heat, you'd need to replace the mixing valve.

The glove box doesn't unlock. No clue why. It used to. One day, it stopped. The box itself was new (I replaced it). There is one item in there: the owner's manual. I'm sure you could open it from underneath. It never bothered me.

On the long center console itself, there is an ashytray or something at the very rear of it. It's missing. It was missing from day 1.

The rear bumper is new and shines up very well. The front bumper is original and could use new chrome. It's not terrible at all, but doesn't look new like the rear.

If you go to www.tseed.com/firebird/1.jpg you'll get higher res versions of the ones on FGF. Just increment the numbers (i.e. 2.jpg, 3.jpg up to 41.jpg, I think).

If I ever pulled the engine I would've detailed the engine bay and the engine. I never pulled it so the engine bay and engine are not detailed.

NH does not require a title, though I do have a clear one from the seller in Ohio. I've never used it. In NH, over 25 years, all you need is a bill of sale. But yes, it has a clear title.

These cars will always need some TLC and there is ALWAYS something to fix, however it drives straight, starts easily and stops easily. A lot to be said for that. And it turns heads wherever I go.

I have all the PHS documentation. That goes with it.
