I understand the appeal of a fully intact car, it's when it isn't that I have questions. This as I'm in the process of doing something that you note above. Well, for a lot fewer dollars and it will never be noted by me as anything other than what it is, a clone.

I believe both the body & the engine carry a value unto themselves that is not lost without the other. How much of the body must be present is without doubt a personal question but not in this case where the body is fully intact.

For crying out loud - it's a killer car even if it was just a Firebird 400!

I'm definitely in agreement on that!


Thanks to all for your comments on this, it definitely helps me shape my own opinion around what I find desirable in a car. I would love to have a one of the 12 '68 Ram Air II Firebird automatics in completely stock form, but honestly it's out of my budget and who knows when and if one will ever be available.
