Default Hi anyone! New Member I'm Looking for this...

New member here. Hi everybody who cares. And the ones who don't care, hi to you too.

I want a 68 Firebird 400 4-Speed. If anyone happens to stumble upon this and knows either someone who wants to sell, may want to sell, where one is sold (even though I've checked almost everything) I would be very, very happy. These cars are hard to find. But I don't care. I've made it my mission in life to find one and restore it. If I can find one already restored...whatever. At this point I'll consider just about anything. So if anyone cares enough to direct me to anything I would more than appreciate it. Thanks.

I don't ask much out of life. Just to be able to know what it's like to drive a real car before I die.

I take it that "Bay Area for your location means SF Bay Area but there are other bay areas in the US.

Yeah, SF. That's just a habit of mine to say Bay Area.

I just wanted to say thanks to everyone so far and anyone how helps with out. Iv'e gotten ten times the reply's I've gotten on other sites. I won't say what those other sites are, but one of them has the word Acura in it. People here actually give a crap. I guess it's a cultural thing

Welcome to the site . Hope that your quest for the car is enjoyable. Wait until the right one comes around. I was quite patient waiting to find mine and I'm glad with what I wound up with.
