[69-er]

Been awhile since I've visited ya' all. The 68 I have worked on for the last 9 years is up for sale. The owner bought a new Challenger, SIGH... and I guess she is now spoiled with all the bells and whistles it has to offer.

So, here ya go...

This number's matching Firebird has had a recently completed full mechanical restoration. Engine, drivetrain, suspension, steering, brakes and exhaust, (basically everything except the interior, body and glass) were all rebuilt to factory specifications. It's a very presentable and fun-to-drive vehicle. Every reasonable attempt was made to replicate the correct factory assemblies and finishes. Still needs attention to the body and interior.

For more details and photos, it is currently listed on eBay. Item #151274418714

Thanks for the fun and help I got getting the car in the condition it's in. Wish I could finish it...

I saw this car on ebay and must say I was amazed to see it's been on a rotisserie and some some very unusual and kind of extreme rust issues were not addressed (driver door jamb/quarter panel area).

Here it is... What's the asking price?

Well, as the eBay listing states, only a mechanical restoration was done along with a rusty driver's floorboard and the lower firewall cowl replacement. The owner wanted to wait before tackling the body and interior. Note that the red paint covering the rust area on the door jamb has been in place for 4 years. There is very little progression of the corrosion. We could have waited several years before finishing the car. I've worked on the car for 9 years and it hasn't changed much.

The body will definitely need attention eventually.
