All

I have been looking for a 1968 Firebird for sometime. It was my first car in high school. I have yet to find anything as my preference would be a 400 4spd red with red interior or black interior. I came across this car and wanted to get everyone’s thoughts. If you would prefer to PM me please do.
Any observations would be appreciated

Based on your wish list and what that car has, you can do better.

Keep looking for your dream car. The green one has too much incorrect stuff to spend your money on. Wrong hood (should be the flat one), wrong exhaust, wrong air cleaner, steering wheel and most importantly, no PHS documentation saying what it was originally.

But it did have the coolant flushed :smirk:

The first thing that jumps out with me is the fact they applied the H.O. stripe in entirely the wrong location. It's supposed to be at the crease line, halfway up the side of the car. Yes, it's a simple fix, but details like this makes you wonder how the rest of the car was restored.
