1967 Firebird - progress

[Dick Boneske]

We began the restoration on my step-daughter’s ‘68. She has owned it since 1984, when she was a sophomore in high school. We used it in her wedding in 1995. Since then , it’s been parked since then. Now, we’re finally stripping it for restoration. Last week, we removed the engine, front fenders & bumper, rear bumper, interior, and exhaust system. I’m going to start a thread on the restoration in this forum. It’s going to the shop mid- February.

White w/ red painted top and interior. That's a pretty unusual combo.
Cool.

Wow - very cool.

Between being a RAIV car and a bench seat it’s probably closing in on one of one but that kilo speedo cinches the deal!

Hmmmm. M40 + bench seat = column shift.
Wouldn't have been my choice.

Barn find, one owner car, 42,000 original miles. Good friend of mine bought it from the original owner who received it as a high school graduation gift. He never re-titled it and decided he had too many projects and sold it to me (my first car was a ‘69 hardtop). This one sat for 31 years in a family barn, but is in amazingly good shape with original paint and top. Spent some bucks getting it road worthy but still have very little in It compared to what I believe it to be worth as an original example. The wife and I will enjoy driving this one here in the Shenandoah Valley

Is that really original paint and top? Unbelievable for a 50+ year old car. Looks great!

[Leonardp59]

Yes, original paint and top. There is a bit of surface rust, particularly on the trunk, but overall it looks very good, thanks!

[Transamric]

Did you add the 7" wide wheels or was that already done?

[Leonardp59]

I went from 14 to 15 inch Rally two wheels. The car came stock with steel wheels and hubcaps

Car is really nice looking w the ralleys, but
I have a 69 convertible and I have the stock wheel and hub caps on it. Swapped from polished torque thrust IIs. People absolutely love the hubcaps really surprised me . What surprised me even more is I actually like the look of hubcaps now too.
It’s so rare to see one w them these days.

Very cool car being all original paint and top. Great find.
