WTB 1968 Firebird roller
 
Looking for a 1968 Firebird roller have about $10,000 for the right body. Thanks

Probably help to know EAXCTLY what you're lookin for.

For example:

(1) Is it for a street resto build ?

(2) Is it to build a modified street/strip car ?

(3) Need body work already done ?

(4) Must it be rust free ?

(5), If not, how much rust can you live with ?

(6) Are you willing to buy a running car, in order to get the body you want ? The reason I ask this is because I've seen some pretty decent lookin bodies, with cheap 350 sbc crate engines, for a reasonable price.

IMO, finding a really nice, rust free '68 Bird body, for $10k or under, is unlikely, nowadays. But, stranger things have happened.

Here's what appears to be a former race Bird. Might work for a modified street/strip project, but will take lots of work & $$$$$.

Don't have a clue where the car is located, if it's still for sale, or what shape it's in. If it's still for sale, it may be in bad shape, cause it's been listed for quite a while.

If you can stand a '67, here's a driver for $13k.

This ad is probably bogus, or car is either sold or doesn't exist, since price is too low for described '68 Bird.

Ok it must be rust free or very little. 350 car is fine with or without motor is fine also. Would like no a/c but I will consider all. Thanks

Rear body panel looks funky but it is in your price range and not too far away for you to pick up - https://buffalo.craigslist.org/pts/d...583841859.html

Thanks but I don’t think that’s the one.

Wow $7000 for that one seems a little high the chances of warped panels is pretty high. And it looks to be a 350 car.

On Reno, Nevada craigslist is a '68 roller for $4,400. Includes extra parts the ad says.

still looking?

grandam1979 04-09-2021 09:28 AM

Yes still looking

Greg Reid 04-09-2021 10:03 AM

How about a '67?
I like this one...Red on Red 400 supposedly. Not much detail at all as far as the missing parts but looks solid

I’m looking for a good clean body that one is to far apart for me. Thanks for looking

I believe I have what you're looking for. I have owned it for over 10 years. Clear Ohio title in my name. Car has had the quarters, tail panel, deck filler and outer wheelhouses replaced. Body is bare sitting on a body cart. Frame has been restored with energy bushings. PM me your number and we can discuss.
