Good day all,
New to the family of Firebird ownership. Just picket up an unmolested 1968 Convertible, Blue with white top, white interior, factory 350 two barrel, (trying to confirm it is original). Has 1976 3 speed automatic in it. Documented history. (Lots of paperwork from over the years, including orignal manual, warranty paperwork, REALLY COOL MINT 1968 accessories catalog) I am third owner, Original owner had until 2003 and then his grandson purchased it and put on about 8k miles and didn't do a whole lot to it.
It will need paint, motor rebuild and interior, however, it is mostly original except some wear items and typical things, exhaust, rims, boot, etc. Body is really good, very little rust, will not need anything structural. Has 145k miles on it.
Going to try to figure out how to add pics.

Welcome aboard! Pics please!!!
Yes, pics here seem somewhat difficult to post. You use the "File Manager" in the Post Options box down below.
To help determine the originality of the car, look into PHS documentation. A comprehensive package that will provide everything on your car.

Welcome...I'm pretty sure I know what car you got, assuming it was the one on Craigslist. in the Ohio area. Really like that color combo of the blue and white!

JimH, you are correct,
Did you ever go look at it? I think I probably over paid a bit but he took my bike on partial trade, and it was the color combo I wanted in a convertible.

Nope didn't go look at it. I wanted a blue one forever, ended up getting burgundy because no blue ones ever came up for sale when I was looking. Really like the blue color with parchment interior...enjoy!

??? What internet browser are you using? That might have to do with it. I'm using IE and google chrome works.
