Nice!  :cheers:


It reminds me of the Firebird 68-69? Orange & White convertible I had for about 3 months.
I was driving it to work & one day & a guy yells out at our job site "who's car is that & you want to sell it?"
He was the president of the Winnipeg Firebird club & I sold the next day for about $3300 in the early 80's.
I think it was an Automatic but I could be wrong? They look sorta similar & yours jogged my memory.

Zap and Rich Rezes are calling it a firebird on facebook lol

A lot of broken parts does not make you a racer; it makes you a slow learner.

At a glance I might have thought it was the Firebird but the SS gives it away.

Generally first Gen big block camaros have a black tail panel from the factory. It can be a bird if it wants. We know better.

I wanta see it driving away in one piece with a new owner! I blew the AC on the buick I drive last week on a day when it was pushing 40.  Today, at the same spot in the road, I blew a leak in the truck radiator 40 miles from home on another pushing 40 day.  I am hoping to sell this one before something blows on it...most likely would be the water pump or radiator.  Everything else is new :D

other than a change of color from blue to red, it is original other than things like the intake manifold and carburetor.  I rebuilt it in the '80s and took some compression out of it, but the engine/tranny etc have '69 casting numbers.  I have someone coming Friday to look at it.  Price will be around 30K

Dan, that's my problem.  I ain't go the energy anymore.  It's been around 106 in my shop this week and all I can do is stand in front of the fan.  It was apart sitting in my shop for the past few years.  Finally got serious on it and starting putting it back together.  Best running thing I have right now   LOL
