The car will get pretty much all new sheetmetal, so it doesn't really matter much to me. I do love the camaro front end, but I don't want a wanna be camaro, so it'll stay a firebird. thanks for the info guys!

EDIT: BTW what body parts from a camaro will fit, decklid? quarters? anything? Just for future know so, just so if I run into camaro parts I can know what will fit. From what i've seen mostly everything is the same.
not sure since I have a 69, but doors? maybe, if the crease lines up... trunk lid...not quarters unless you cut and weld in the shark gills...dorr gl;ass , but glass looks ok..it very little actually that fits from Camaro to Bird, even though they look very alike.....if you run across camaro parts you think you canuse ask here first! no use to buy parts to line the garage with....plus camaro partstend to be more $$ anyway...if bought used.

In '67 a lot of parts cross over...like almost the entire interior: console and shifter the same, steering column, instrument carrier, heater controls, radio glove box, etc. Out side, the doors and wing windows cross over, the rear deck lid..event he front fenders can be made to work.. Subframes, A arms, and if not worried about originality springs and rear axles,

would I bolt a Camaro clip on a Firebird body ...no way. but a lot of parts cross over.

Now in '69 it's a different ball of wax...virtually nothing translates

That car needs everything. Fortunately, everything is available. Either used or repop. The cheaper you pay for it, the more you have left to restore it. I would offer $400. It's not worth that much for scrap, and nobody else will pay that for it. Buy it cheap and then restore it. It will never see the road again unless you help it to. Build a Poncho, not a Chevy.
