ummmm, i wouldn't say i am expert but that looks like a butcher mobile, a mut, or what ever. i don't see the TA fenders on it, i'd question why the nose change (aka an accident?), also what is the VIN as well
it does look pretty, and i'm a sucker for blue

That's a popular nose swap. Lots of guys just like the looks of the early cars over the later ones. Sounds like it is a base Firebird that's been rebuilt. Might be a nice driver, but with all of the mods done a guy should really see it in person to make sure things aren't hacked up.

I sure trust your eagle eyes! I wish I was Bill Gates! I'd buy anything that crossed my path.

I like the color, but with a formula front end and a SBC in it I'd have to pass.

BTW; I like the Formula front end.

Speaking of Formula front ends. One of my clients this week drove his 73 Firebird up. It was a plane jane no motor tranny when he got it. Swapped in a TPi SBC and custom TIG air box ducted it to the Formula hood. His dad works on ariplanes and they made a cutom dash with all Autometer gauges nice burl wood. Not orignal but was a plan jane and a pretty fun driver.
