Description of 1968 Pontiac Firebird |

Paint has some defects, but reviewed paint condition with a custom paint shop and the owner said the paint condition is too good in his opinion to repaint for a few years. Interior is in good condition. I didn't have time to complete everything, so there are minor issues like driver door latch is "sticky" to open, weather /rubber stripping is due for replacement, small oil leak when not tightened well enough, needs one of the seatbelts in back reconnected, car still has a 1980's era radio which should be replaced with stock, etc. Have receipts for parts and much of the work done elsewhere. To make highway ready I would have done additional mechanical and transmission work and possibly converted brakes to disc, but for a weekend cruiser or to take next step to high end driver/show it is well on the way. Power convertible top works well. I have many of the original parts if you want including front chrome. Always garaged, waxed, premium gas and oil, and non-smoking. All in all a beautiful car that deserves a good home. Reserve is set much lower than my costs. 100% seller rating on Ebay. Can assist in arranging shipment. $2000 due within 48 hours of auction end, balance within 7 days. Video taken 3/31/18https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ENVPUS5B3UU |
