I recently saw this myself and was in love. But sadly it was priced way too high…recently sold for $43,177!!! The seller most not have liked the $35 bid and claims the buyer fell through. hmmm. What do people think about the price? Are they really going for that much? I guess the 400 engines are.
Well, I am looking for a 1968 Bird, Manual Transmission, convertible, and of course a good color. (black or Blue would rock) I'd be fine with a 350 engine actually. (a little better gas mileage!) I would ideally love to have the cluster gauge option, but I see that gauge can be purchased and was curious how difficult it would be to hook up all the goodies. Has anyone done that? I would suspect replacement parts would be required in the engine compartment for Oil, Temp, Volts.
Well, I am new here, and trying to gather info about these cars and keep an eye out for a great find. I feel in love with these when I was in college in the 90's and the prices were a bit more reasonable then….kicking myself for buying a british sports car! hah. An american muscle car would have been easier to get parts for and a lot easier to work on. I owned a '71 Blazer and could find parts at any auto store for cheap and easy to work on myself.
I guess I'll keep looking at all the various sites - I doubt many for sale are posted on this site, because most members already HAVE a firebird. :-)
cheers,
