     When I evaluate building a car, I usually like to gauge them on a scale of A to Z. A being a car that needs everything, from sheet metal work to acquiring parts and Z being your finished product. I would rate this car about an L/M. It has had a tremendous amount of work done to it at this point and much of the hard to find items have been found. All of the parts that I have are in good condition. This Firebird is right at the hump and is on the verge of becoming an easy sail.

     The story behind this car is that it began as a project for a Father & Daughter duo. The Father immediately began acquiring parts for the car far before the car ever began being restored. Just in new sheet metal he had spent close to 4k dollars. After purchasing the sheet metal, he had the car sent off and the sheet metal work began to take place. Some where in the neighborhood of 4,500 has already been spent on just the labor for getting the body work where it sits today. Now take in to account that he spent almost 3k just in amassing the parts necessary to complete the Firebird (interior components primarily). Now take in to account that the car itself (when it began at stage A) was purchased for 3k dollars. At this point, he had lost count of his expenses but as you can see, he had invested over 14k dollars in this Firebird.

     How I was able to end up with it is simple. Along their journey of this restoration, another 1969 Firebird came along that was nearly completed. It seemed to be the more viable solution at the time and now sits within their garage, a fully restored 1969 Firebird. Seeing as they had achieved what they ultimately set out for, there was no need for this Firebird any longer. So if you're looking for an excellent jump start on building your own, framed off Firebird, this is your opportunity. This is that rare chance to get a lot of bang for your buck and to build your car right as well as to your exact specifications! All of the work that has been completed has been done so by professionals so the sheet metal work is very straight and correct.

Body: This Firebird has already been taken off the frame and was mounted to a rotisserie. All of the floors were cut out and replaced with a brand new one piece floor pan. The rear frame rails were also cut away and replaced with brand new rails. The firewall was also done away with and replaced with a brand new firewall. The trunk at this point has been cut out and the new trunk pan is now sitting in it, awaiting to be welded in. The passenger side quarter has already been replaced and is completed. The only items left to do are the rockers (which I have, brand new), welding in the new drivers side quarter (which I also have, full quarter), and the wheel housing (I also have, brand new). I do have a good set of doors which have everything in them and a good set of fenders.

Engine & Mechanical: I do not have a drive train for the Firebird. I do have a set of four speed pedals which I will include with the Firebird.

Interior: I do have all of the interior for the Firebird. I have a good set of door panels, a set of buckets, and a back seat. I also have a good instrument panel along with its plastics, all of which is in excellent condition. Please note that everything that I have for this car is located within the photos below. The only two items that are not photographed are the bucket seats and back seat as they were not at the same location when I took the photos.

     Located below you will find photos of everything that I have. Beyond a motor & transmission, this Firebird is mostly complete. I have all of the stainless, grille, valance, bezels, carpet, door panels, I even have all of the nuts, bolts, & screws, all catalogued away in a plastic container so as to make it easier for reassembly. I believe that this Firebird will make a phenomenal automobile for someone and it should not be too difficult of a task to finish the restoration. Whoever ends up owning it can take comfort in the fact that the majority of the hard work has been completed.

     I will be evaluating all reasonable offers and I will in fact sell the Firebird early as we do have it for sale "locally". My goal here is to sell the Firebird. I strongly encourage anyone who is interested to please call or email to schedule a time to come check it out. I would also like to add that I am usually on the phone from 7 AM until about 12 AM so you are always welcome to call and if I do not answer, just leave a message and I will return your call immediately. I know from my own experience with purchasing cars online, most of the time it is very difficult to get someone on the phone and to obtain the information you need. So I try to always stay on top of emails and phone calls. We do have a clear title for this Firebird. As always, good luck and happy bidding!

Thanks,
