Nice car. I had a 67 Hardtop Sprint. What's up with the post it note with the shift pattern. Which I don't think is correct.

Maybe the shift levers got installed backwards. Never underestimate the ingenuity of hack mechanics.

Also I see nothing that looks l like an add-on AC system even though the description says it's there.

Good looking car. I've always been intrigued by the OHC-6, I passed on buying a Sprint Firebird way back in the 1970s and kicked myself afterwards.

Jay Leno is restoring a Sprint convertible in his garage now, he talked about its progress in his latest garage update video on Youtube. Ed Pink is rebuilding the engine for it, so it will be interesting to see how much power it makes when he's done.

Yeah its an after market shifter, only the manual trans Sprint cars got a Hurst shifter stock with an OHC-6. So the shift levers are probably on upsidedown.

And I thought 1700.00 was ALOT in 1984 for my 69 HT. Car was comparative in condition at that time.
