Mods, sorry if this is the wrong spot. Feel free to move.

Curious about this ‘69 Firebird convertible for sale. 350/3 speed. Here are the details from the ad:

Pictures below. Wondering if it’s worth asking price of $36k. I’m not as familiar with 1st gen prices as I am with 2nd. Appreciate any opinions.

Falls within the range of what I have seen these sell for.... being a stick a big plus. Details of a recent motor rebuild would solidify it for me. Fun cruiser for sure.

Thanks for your response. I appreciate it. My father is interested in this car

It would make a nice driver for sure, had one just like it but with the colors flipped. The few pictures you posted were not good enough to see the needed details. Rust and or body work are the biggest concern, paint quality too. From what I have seen, IF the body & paint are good to very good, under side is clean my guess is it isn't a bargain, try to negotiate, If he likes it is most important. 350 Firebirds are not easy to sell. I grew to like and respect the 3 speed. My two cents anyway.

Yea the 350/3speed is what threw me as far as value. I kinda know what to expect with a 400 and/or 4 speed setup. I’ll update it we go look at it

I have a 69 350 vert HD 3 speed car in Aleutian blue, (Lucerne for 70). Car is almost the same mechanically as your white car and # matching as well. It was appraised 10 years ago for 38K. Car is very dependable and very fun to drive and moves very well ! I have had offers over 42 for it so yours is in the ballpark. Interesting that car has deluxe interior and no console!

Thank you I appreciate it. As of now, my father hasn’t pulled the trigger to even look at it yet. I’d like to my self but not in the market for another car so don’t want to waste the sellers time lol.

My opinion is that’s a good price.
