Lateral-g Forums - 1969 Firebird, Project: WickedBird For Sale

Unfortunately, due to a pending divorce my project of over 4 years is reluctantly up for sale. This car basically represents a completely new ’69 Firebird (including new body shell) with a completely updated suspension and driveline (the engine is a carb’d 455). The build is completely documented with over 500 photo’s at: www.69firebirdbuild.com . The list of major components listed below is extensive, but does not represent everything included. I have a complete binder full of receipts that total just over $57,000 and another $15,000 in receipts that came with the car when I bought it in 2006 in a project state. I cannot begin to calculate the number of hours poured into this car.

I would not consider this a “project car.” It is very close to being completed. I would estimate another few months (max) of work would complete it. The doors, fenders and hood are just bolted on for pictures; they still need to be aligned. The car only needs:

Finish hooking up wiring
Glass installed (tinted glass included)
Door panels
Exhaust
Final paint
Install front end (have all pieces, most are new in boxes)

The car has a clear title and has been registered the past few years in NH (but obviously never driven). I am asking $35,000 for everything. The car is located in Southern, NH and is available to view for those that are seriously interested. Send me an email with any questions.
