Looking to buy a 68 firebird

[Jono]

Found this in Texas for 3500.00. from what I've seen online it seems like a good deal but figured I'd ask around

One picture through a fence is not a way to get an opinion on a car.
What are the details on the car?
Where are the pictures of engine compartment, interior, front suspension, rear suspension, unibody, etc.?

 

[Jono]

That's all I got ,I took the picture when I was there and called when I got back home in Ohio. I'm still waiting on them to send me more pics sorry

 

[melsg5]

No problem. Just don't dive in without the details and end up with someone else's money pit. There is a reason why the car is that cheap and you have to determine that reason before you buy the car.

From that 1 picture I would say the car does not have an engine installed, and possibly no trans either. That would help explain the low asking price.

But more pictures would be a must, including floor boards and rear shock tower mounts. Also trunk floor & rear window channel pictures if possible.

Otherwise buyer beware!!!!!

Good catch, that front end is sitting way up.

Yeah I could tell no motor but that's not a problem I have a motor and tranny for it already..I have a 68 LeMans that I built , and I'm still waiting for them to send me more pictures of the inside and out but I've wouldn't have thought about asking for pics of the shock towers thanks for the input guys

I was thinking put the original motor and tranny back in the LeMans and stick my 400 and 400 tranny in the firebird paint it and I got an easy 15000 car , as long as the frame is as solid as the outside . I know wishful thinking lol
