Ever wonder how many parts are in an average 1st Gen Firebird?

In a casual discussion at a local cruise night I commented to someone about the huge number of differences between the '68 Firebirds and their Camaro counterparts. Then I noticed the forum member 69birdinamillionpieces and it got me wondering; how many distinct parts, right down to the washers, ball bearings, and o-rings within the shocks, actually went into building one.

lots, but not as many as $ in our debt! lol

I don't know the exact number of parts, but I remember reading about Ford switching from building cars to building B-24 bombers during the war.

They were having trouble going from 5,000 parts per car to 100,000 in the plane. Just a rough number according to my faulty memory!

Then went a'googlin and came up with this:

This article says 15,000.

Jahsboy are you interested in selling your car? My dad might be in the market. If so how much and you can keep the wheels.. LOL P.S. as per JOE(earlybird) you can keep the chin spoiler too. Just messing with you but seriously interested in your car. pm me

LOL, I like those...first of all they WORK, gets better stability in steering at high speeds.....and as I tend to go fast...its helping...
on my Triumph I just bought one used off EBay t install on my 71 even though "wrong", as they only had them on 73 -75`s...and as I most likely wont be going the speeds I do in my bird in the TR6, I did it just for the 'looks'
