8 or 9 years ago my GF bought a 69 firebird convertible from ebay. She won it for 2800.00 delivered. at first it looked OK. until i started tearing it down. i think i have about 10% of the car she bought left. i replaced everything, the only nice thing on the car was sombody did a cheap and quick resto in the 80's im guessing as i has NOS fenders on it, GM stickers were still on them. everything else was trash. Im well over 25k in PARTS alone i did all the labor. but i did it cause i wanted to build MY firebird and i wanted a ragtop. so i did a 400 clone. almost done. i'll never sell it.
