WANTED: 1968 FIREBIRD HARDTOP; AUTUMN BRONZE
Looking for something from solid project to driver quality.
Ideal car would be a stick, deluxe parchment interior and A/C. Thanks. |
There is a decent 68 probably two hours northeast of you in plumsteadville. Original 350 car, not autumn bronze, but does have deluxe interior. You want a phone #?
|
What color?
Send via PM, please. |
Scott:
The following link is for my 1968 400 4-Speed Firebird that I posted on yenko.net: http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/show...e/0#Post410581 Ed |
I was watching the Steve Martin movie "The Jerk" the other day and saw a "brown" 68 in the garage scene with Jackie Mason.
If you have seen the scene, I was wondering if thats the Autumn Bronze color? Whatever it was, it was a very nice looking color, imo |
I saw this one while doing my daily search. I dont know the "brown" colors for 68 so thought I would post. Looks clean.

It has a 1969 Chevelle front disk setup with, of course, all new parts. The restored and plated brake booster and new brake unit along with new disc/disc proportiong valve mounted right next to the new wiper motor/washer unit.

Nice car. Horrendous wheels, though.
I'd rather restore one my way. Thanks for keeping an eye out. |
