I'm not sure I'd paint it......I'd lavish attention on it to be the best it could...that Firebird is beautiful!
I can understand letting it go to take on the Lincoln - amazing car with a family history like that. I think the "junk it" Ford dealer wanted to get his hands on it - no one junks a car that looks like that. Interestingly, my 77 Ford LTD (Australian Build) had the same speedometer set up....glowing red trace that moved across the face of the speedo as you speed up.
