Dealership about 1/4 mile from my house has a 1967 Firebird in excellent shape (at least from what I can tell riding by). I sent an email to ask how much has been restored and all that stuff. I'm hoping the price range is too high so I'm not tempted again. I just love those late 60s muscle cars.
This isn't the car, but this is for demonstration only:

I just found out the other day a guy one street over has a 68 Firebird convert in his garage. It looks very clean.
I love 1st gen F-bodies.

Nothing beats an E-body Mopar. What I wouldn't give for an early '70s Cuda or Challenger. No matter what year you pick, they all look great.

I'd have to go for a 71 Cuda convertible with 440 6 Pak and Pistol Grip 4 speed in one of the high impact colors. Panther Pink, yeah baby. The 1st gen firebirds do look really nice too.

Hmm, 67 Tempest with poncho 400; 78 Camaro Z/28 327 (?); 94 Impala SS 454 (or is it only 96?); 67-72 Catalina with bowtie 426. Dir, yet, Dir!

I have seen a few that have been modified and one that has a 502 in it, but I personally think that it was a waste of time and money.

UMF this is actually a pretty decent price if the car has matching #s,but take a good look at the quality of the work,as most know I have a 68 Firebird awaiting restoration and I;m estimating resto costs around 12-13k my cost in my shop,not that this is one of my favorate muscle cars but we got this car through our law office from a guy charged with stabbing his wife to death ,eh you take what you can get,my next car I'm looking for is an 87 GNX pretty rare and definatly not cheap.Chico.
