1967 Firebird Convertible advice needed
Need some advice. After trying to restore a 67 Firebird Convertible for many years, I gave up and bought a restored 68 HO convertible. I now have a shell of a 67 Convertible that I'm not sure what to do with. I'm leaning toward parting it out, as I have many thousands of dollars in parts, but I'd hate to see the car itself get scrapped. Do you think theres any interest out there in basically a shell of a car (that needs floors and trunk) or should I part the thing out? Ive got 3 NOS fenders, a 400 hood, 6 doors, 3 sets of Ralley wheels, a 400 stroked engine built by Ron Rocci, etc, etc

Try and sell it as a package, but also offer it with or without engine. You'll still probably only get pennies on the dollar though. Parting is a PITA but would net you more.
Personally, now that you have a nice driver I'd continue to work on it as a hobby project to build however you like. It's much easier to keep interest in a long term project when you have another car to enjoy the hobby with. Just curious, why do you have a completed built engine already when the car still needs major work? Not another case of engine first I hope? |

Sell it as a pkg. Vert birds are fairly desirable or at least they are to the people trying to get me to come off of mine.

If you can stand the aggravation of parting it out you will make more that way.
That said,PM me a list of what you have,Im always looking for good stuff with 2 cars to restore.

Thanks for the advice. I'm going to inventory everything Ive got and try to sell it as a package. I hadnt planned on buying the engine until much later, but got a deal from a guy who was going through a divorce.
If I cant sell it as a package within a reasonable time, I'll probably part it out. Last edited by birdman67; 07-21-2010 at 04:55 PM. Reason: changes |

I would rather see one on the road than parts on ebay. So pass it on if you can.

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
