Well, obviously the entire car needs to be restored if that's important to the owner. Some folks would make it mechanically sound and drive it. I would fall somewhere in between. I'd want it to be mechanically sound and look presentable. I think it's worth going that far with...IF the underside and frame are solid. The trunk, door openings and rockers leads me to believe it's possibly more solid than it appears, especially for a convertible.
The quarters don't even look that bad to me. Too bad the owner is unrealistic in his pricing.

I like it, too. Get rid of those rims, and that's a pretty cool car for a good price: If it's as nice as it looks.

There is a lot wrongs with this car, but if you got rid of the wheels, I kind of like it.

That grille ruins the look of the Firebird to me. Reminds me of some of that George Barris stuff.
I GUESS it's a 400 car from the 160 speedo but who knows? He never mentioned the engine except that it doesn't look like it's ever been 'worked on'.

I’ve never seen a grill like that for a Firebird so someone put some time into it. I don’t hate the grill (I don’t like the overall car) but you are right it screams Barris customs

I kind of agree. While not my cup o' tea, I kind of respect the Barris-like attempt. It almost worked Bone stock correct is awesome, but I like the 60's and 70's personalize and improve approach, even with attempt mis-fires like this.

It would be cool to see that same grill painted black in a stock-ish configuration. Maybe 17”or 18” Rallye II’s and keep the chrome bumper

I noticed that also. Really looks like it might have some solid donor material. I could have really used that roof 10 years ago.. Better pics would help...
