I am new to this forum, but have been on other camaro, 4X4 etc sites. I was directed here by a member of the nastz28 community.

I am helping a friend liquidate his cache of 68 firebird parts in Minnesota. I can identify most camaro parts just by looking, but not so much on the firebrd. I wanted to see if there is interest here in the parts, or if I should take it elsewhere. I will be going over there tomorrow to and inventory the parts, to see what he all has. Its half an enclosed trailer full! He was kind of a parts hoarder. I haven't seen the inside yet, but I understand he has engine and trans parts as well as loads of other parts

If you are looking for something specific, drop me an email at rjjn2000@earthlink.net and I will look for it while I am going through the trailer. Big items are hard to ship, but I am in the Minneapolis area if that helps

OK-- i went over to look in the trailer today. Mind you, I haven't even looked in the garage.

I'm a little overwhelmed . Here is a link to some photo's.

Some of the things I saw were--Front bumper, rear bumpers (3), shifters (3) Consoles (3), Radio's (3), auto and manual pedal buckets, Convertible lift parts, air cleaners, door panels, wiring harness', horns, fans, carbs, 10 bolt rear end set up for ladder bars, seats, sun visors. NOS spring shackles, complete set of napa and TRW parts-everything to rebuild the front end, new in boxes. And a whole bunch of piles pf parts. Something about having 3 of everything?

Here is a link to the pictures I took. Maybe you can look at these, blow them up and see more stuff than you can imagine. I know he needs one gauge cluster, and that is all I saw

Do you have pics & condition of the convertible sunvisors?
Is the shifter with cable for a 2-spd auto and does it have a shifter boot on the cable?
Do you have a pic of the T-Handle assy?

These parts are now all on ebay. You can click the link below, and look for seller other items to see them all.

Shifter does have the cable and boot
