WTB 68 Firebird
1st car ever owned so looking to buy 68 Firebird preferably 400 4 spd. Not looking for a project or trailer queen but something in between, meaning solid car and driver. Prefer orig driveline and documents but will entertain others. Just need to understand what is out there. Appreciate any help/leads. Please PM any info on available cars
Thx |

Plan on spending mid 20s to low 30s. My son just bought what you’re looking for, numbers matching 400-4spd car 66,000 original miles. Rust free two owner northern Montana car. Guy wanted $26,000 but took less because it was so far away.

Not exactly what you want, but in your price range. https://classics.autotrader.com/clas...bird/101069100 A nice 400/4-speed will be higher, unless you luck across a super deal, either from a guy desperate for money or one who doesn't know what his car is worth. https://classics.autotrader.com/clas...bird/101069414 https://classics.autotrader.com/clas...bird/101073966 I've also noticed that the cars are usually much cheaper if they do not have a 400 engine. So, you might wanna consider one with a nice body & a 350 Pontiac engine. If you want more power, you can have a 400 or bigger engine built, later. https://www.carsforsale.com/vehicle/details/49745966 Also appears that most of the 400 cars have TH400 trans. Might consider buying one of these, then have it swapped over to 4-speed manual at some later date. https://www.cargurus.com/Cars/l-Used...ting=218379840 https://www.cargurus.com/Cars/l-Used...ting=230695881 Last edited by ponyakr; 02-03-2019 at 01:25 PM. |

https://cars.trovit.com/listing/1968...8c380cb9244d9a https://cars.trovit.com/listing/1968...634531a9566da9 Well, I don't know how many of these ads are still good. But, you can just Google 1968 Firebird for sale & find lots of ads. Last edited by ponyakr; 02-03-2019 at 01:34 PM. |
