355 and M20 was not available in 68 RA
I totally agree with you Cammer, X2 on the BS. Never saw a PHS with that option,or an original 67 or 68 with a spoiler. I was sixteen in 1968, and I don't remember a Firebird with a rear spoiler. Only saw them on Camaro.

If your asking what to do with the spoiler my opinion would bo get rid of it.The only place for a rear spoiler on a first gen Firebird is a 69 T/A.Why make your car look like a Camaro.Most don't know that the spoiler was not even an option on a 67 Camaro,it started in 68.

Me 3 on the spoiler. Not listed or otherwise documented anywhere.

I've been thinking all evening trying to decide what color(s).
This is way too big of a decision to rush into.

Its gonna have a rear spoiler on it before the first oil change i promise you that.
Bird door panels, Bird steering wheel, and Bird GLASS. Must haves.
Ram2 4spd Rally2 and anything else i can afford.
The bank will have to decide whether its a stripper or a movie star.

X2. All the go fast goodies, nothing more. No power anything...Sure a hardtop would be a more serious race car, but convertibles are just plain cool. a 67-68 Bird is on my wish list.....

Alpine Blue, parchment pearl interior, black top, console auto, 3.9 safe-T-track. Was ordered with HO stripes and red walls, white air scoops were added later, lots of other options. Would have been a stunner in 68. I have no history but who ever ordered it got the best, if it was up to me I would have added the hood mounted tacho. Bruce

Thanks for the replies. I think I will get a 1/2 pint of Verdero Green from Dupont and 1/2 pint of Flambeau Burgandy from PPG and spray them out on a card and see which one looks the best with the Pearl Parchment interior. Some of the modern formulas just don't look right. Anyway I am going to try to make as sharp a 68 as I can.
