I have an opportunity to buy a 78 firebird with "only surface rust" (LOL) for $500. It's only supposed to be missing the windshield and radiator. I just started to purchase cars to restore and flip. I'm not sure what the value of a 78 firebird would be. I'm not sure what motor it has or how many miles. i'm going to look at it tomorrow but I estimate between $15,000 in parts, motor, and transmission based on the 79 Z28 I'm currently working on. Any thoughts or advice on what the going are would be for a fully restored 78 Firebird? Maybe clone a T/A?
