This is my dad's 68 firebird the he purchased in California and brought back to Illinois where it now sits in his garage. The car has a California title and it's California blue plates. Believed to be the original Pontiac 350 2bbl motor but I have not verified the numbers to be sure. The motor runs surprisingly well. It idles smooth and accelerates smooth but looks like the throttle cable sticks. The front seal on the tranny also looks it might be leaking from the car sitting so long. I changed the engine oil, gave it a new battery, added tranny fluid, started it and moved it in and out of the garage to take pictures. You can drive the car as-is if you do some service to the car. The two best things about the car are the color combo and that it is a rust free car. This car has been a California car that has been stored on pavement all it's life. The only corrosion I could find on the whole car was a small nickel sized bubble at the bottom of the right rear quarter where dirt accumulated. Besides that, the car is completely rock solid. The floors, quarters, trunk floor, rockers, and any metal on the car does NOT need patches, repair, or replacement. Very hard to find one this rust free that is unrestored. Body has had some bondo work on the upper rear pass. quarter by the lower right corner of the rear glass (as shown in pics), that will need to be cleaned up. Besides that, the body lines are nice and straight. Doors open/close and fit the car nice. Car is really pretty straight and original and complete. All the outside trim is there (the rear window trim is in the trunk). Interior and trim looks complete but pretty beat up. Those 14" cragars were put on there a long time ago. Fender tag is still in place. The car is a 261 trim code, which is turquoise interior. The outside paint code is K-K, which is Meridian Turquoise paint. Very cool combo.

I took some more pics of the underside of this car.
