After searching for a while i finally pulled the trigger today on a 69 Convertible. Its a 350 car with numbers matching engine. Just wanted to share my excitement..cant wait to pick it up. Now i have to sell the 69 project ive been working on....

how much for the old one?nice looking windward blue 69

I have my other 69 posted in the 69s for sale section. You can find all the good details there.

Looks great!

Nice looking car. Congrats on the new purchase.

Thanks for the compliments. Im guessing i will be spending a lot more time here now. As we all know, buying them is just the beginning. But..thats part of what makes em so fun.

Nice. Love the 69

Looks nice. How much did it lighten the wallet if you don't mind the asking.

Sprech... Before i spill the beans on what i paid, you guys tell me what you think its worth. Numbers matching car. Im the 3rd owner. Comes with original paperwork. Car is completely solid..stripped down and painted last year. However its not a frame off resto car. Engine and tranny were rebuilt 3 years ago. (350 Engine/350 tranny) So, tell me what ya think its worth. Youll either make me feel real good or real bad.

Numbers matching, 3rd owner, original paperwork, convertible... Don't think I want to hear your answer. It's probably going to make me feel bad.

Very nice,if at all possible keep the project and finish it in the same colors as the convertible.

Well I am finishing up my 69' convertible and here is what I think. I am the 3rd owner with a NOM 350 / TH-350 combo and power top, deluxe interior, power disc brakes, trunk release, and power steering. I did a ground up resto, new everything, and have right at $25K and 2years in mine. It took longer and cost more than I planned for but I think it is worth it. I believe prices are inching up on our Birds, especially drop-tops so I think if you bought it in that $15-$20K range you did fine.

I paid 18k for it. I thought that was a fair price. PonchoMAn.. NICE looking car!

Nice 9er!

That is a good deal, and the values are going up not down., gongrats on your purchase, it looks terrific.

Tom

As to why sell the other??...
2 reasons... room in the garage (already have a 67 Camaro plus the project 69 Firebird..this car makes 3 and i havent got room) and of course.... Cash.

I'd color me lucky to have problems like that!

Yeah guess its not necessarily a bad problem to have. But the project has gotta go. Knowing me and my obsession to have everything "just right" with cars this new one will keep me busy with tinkering for some time to come.

Nice looking cars guys. Hey PonchoMan, what color red is that.

Tom,
That 69 400 looks gorgeous. (At least what i can see in that pic) Love it!

Ron it is a Chrysler color PR-4. I wanted Red-Red and not Red-Orange. 69' Carousel Red is more orange and although it is a beautiful color it just wasn't what I wanted.

Thanks PM. That color red is exactly what I had in mind. Looks great.

that looks like my red car too, mine is single stage PPG "Concept" DCC 73788 Red, mine look more RED in my online shot that actual...its more like PonchoMans

Sell the Camaro, lol!!! Nice car, BTW.

Woo, thats just Crazy talk. I just got this thing finally done exactly the way i want it..dont think i could ever sell it now...

Ugh... what a terrible paint job.

I'll give you $3,000 for it and put you out of your misery
