I have the opportunity to buy a 1968 Firebird convertible. This is a one owner car that has never been re-titled (the current title was issued when the car was purchased in 1969). It was last driven in 1991 and (literally) sat in a barn until last year. It has 42,000 original miles. Engine is a 350 2 barrel. It’s automatic with power top but no a/c. Original paint in very good condition, original top in very good condition. No rust and no body work, I can’t even find any dings. Original chrome still shiny. Original manuals and bill of sale in glove box. Needs tires, hoses, belts, filters, fluids, plugs, points, probably a new muffler, maybe new shocks. Buyer asking $16,000. Can anyone give me advice? My first car was a ‘69 Firebird and I am somewhat nostalgic about the possibility of owning another one. Thanks.
