Hi all, I've been a member of this forum for many years, don't post often, only when I need advice, and I appreciate this forum is here. I bought my '67 Firebird 400 back in '86, it had about 52k miles on it, I've babied it for 35 years, it's got about 70k now. Yes that is accurate. Don't drive it much, been through many other Pontiacs since: 2002 Trans Am Collector Edition Two Last Gen Bonnevilles (love that car, Leased one in 2003, then bought 2005 GXP about 6 years ago, drove it for a few years and traded it in. G8 GT - Yea, took a while to buy this, but bought it two summers ago, 100k miles, but ran like it's supposed to.
Just traded that G8 in this past week, for a Subaru Outback Wilderness, Yep, times are changing.
The '67 is taking up a valuable spot in my garage, hate to say it, but I'm closer to selling than anytime over the last 35 years. It's all verified as original, 400 engine, Muncie 4 speed, deluxe interior, I changed out the radiator, still have the original, but the aluminum keeps it cooler. Installed a remote solenoid to battle the Hot Start problem, seems to work okay. I did the Pontiac Historic services thing, got all that documentation for my car.
Yes there is some rust, rear floor boards are bad, but most metal is in good shape.
I noticed Ebay seems very loaded with First Gen Firebirds, more so than previous years when I looked. I don't know if they are selling.
Very difficult to put a price on my car, the originality of it has to be worth something, dont really want to put money into it just to sell it, makes no sense, but if someone had a shop they would certainly do that.
No, not looking for offers, just a good discussion and opinions on the current market.
