An honest survivor

Not freshly restored.
Not disguised.

This Firebird appears to have remained substantially intact through decades with its previous owner, who was the car's one long-term owner. It is not presented as road-ready, and its age has not been hidden beneath a cosmetic makeover.

After twelve or more years in storage, its next owner can preserve its survivor character, mechanically recommission it, or restore it from an unusually complete starting point.

A restoration you don't have to undo first

Its history is still visible.

Many surviving Firebirds have been modified. This one appears to retain the 350 V8, automatic, power windows, vinyl top, original-style interior and spoiler-free body.

That completeness is compelling because the car has not been made to look like something it is not.

What remains

Complete where it counts.

The car's core identity is still here - from its 350 V8 and automatic console to its power windows, white seating and early second-generation bodywork.

What you're buying

Potential, with eyes open.

Inspection is encouraged. No claims are made beyond what is known and visible.

The Good

  • Remarkably complete, largely original appearance
  • 350 V8 and automatic present
  • Power windows
  • Seats remain surprisingly presentable
  • Strong basis for preservation or restoration

What It Needs

  • We have not attempted to start. Currently not running after long storage
  • Mechanical inspection and recommissioning
  • Lower passenger-side door-area rust
  • Aged interior and pillar trim
  • Paint, vinyl-top and age-related deterioration

Nothing hidden

The imperfections matter.

We would rather show you the imperfections now than have you discover them after traveling to see the car.

One car. Decades of history.

Ready for its next chapter.

The previous owner was the Firebird's one long-term owner and has since passed away. Eventually placed into storage, it has now sat for more than a decade. Another enthusiast can now inspect it carefully, understand what it needs, and bring it back to life in the way that makes sense for the car.
