Hi folks, I have a 1967 Firebird 400 with a turbo automatic I bought a year ago. I found out many problems with the car after the purchase , I hope to be driving it next year. I'm a pretty good shade tree mechanic,but at 71 years old everything takes longer to do.. I will be asking some questions and looking for some advice in the future. Thanks for having me as a member.

Welcome to the site.

Beautiful! Good luck with it! If you have the original steering wheel and it’s not in the greatest shape. Have it resorted. It was expensive but so worth it!

I have a ‘68 firebird that’s restored. I know there are two trunk mats for these cars. Any idea which one is correct for this year? The black/gray houndstooth or the black/aqua one?

Welcome. Nice looking Bird. I am right behind you at 70. Let's hear it for afternoon naps!

I have the original steering wheel in great shape,but I took the firebird out yesterday and find it
difficult getting in and out of the car. I have to put a aftermarket steering wheel on. I have no choice. Too bad I didn't have the tilt wheel option.

I'm not sure,but my best guess would be the black and aqua. I have a new one (black and aqua) but I'm concerned about moisture getting under the mat. I have not installed it yet. I might cut out a piece of felt liner for a vapor barrier?

Would having 2" more legroom help? There are seat extension brackets available that let you put the driver's seat further back.

I found that my '68 seat somehow shifted a lot closer to the front than when I drove it in the 60's and '70's.

I have plenty of adjustment left to go back more. I'm only 5'8"& 190lbs. The problem is the steering wheel and my gut are too close. Do they make anything to lower the bucket seat? That would give me more room.
