69 FIREBIRD 4 SPEED SOLID OKLAHOMA PROJECT CLEAN TITLE Offered for sale is a 69 Firebird project body. The title is in my name and clean (not junk). There is no engine/transmission, but the body is quite solid, as you will see. Here are some shots of the body: FRONT CLIP NOT ATTACHED As you can see here, the front clip is just laying on the subframe and is not bolted down or aligned. FIREWALL & FRONT COWL AREA These pictures were taken before placing the front clip back upon the sub frame. Firewall looks solid. As you can see, it was an AC model. Rather unusual I would think - 4 sp with air. Picture showing the front door jam as well as the lower area of the front cowl. You can also see that the rocker area is very nice. Other side also solid INTERIOR & FLOORPANS Car comes with bucket seats, which do not look original, and the rear seat, as shown here. Front LH area. Note that car has a 4 speed type setup. In its time must have been some fast car with a 4 speed. Better shot of overall front floorpan area. Note that the original 4 speed hole is not cut up. Dash also looks to be fairly complete. Dash pad is obviously bad. Picture from the RH side. Front door jam is solid. Floorpan quite rusted on passenger side but toepan solid. Seat pan also solid. Closer shot of that rusted floor pan. Better shot of overall front floorpan area. Note that the original 4 speed hole is not cut up. Dash also looks to be fairly complete. Back floorpan & seat pan area DOOR JAM AREAS LH front jam area Close up of the LH rear door jam area. RH rear door jam area and back seat pan & floorpan shot. Much better than the front. RH rear jam close up ROCKERS Rockers are very nice, as you can see. LH rocker area looking forward LH rocker area looking back. Close up of the RH rocker area RH rocker looking back TRUNK/WHEELHOUSE AREA The trunk pan does have some rust, as you can see from this picture. Seems to be mainly in the pan itself - as the shock tower & wheelwell areas look solid, as you will see in following pictures. (The chrome fender holding up the deck lid for the pic is not for a Firebird and not included.) LH wheelwell & shock tower area. Still a lot of the original spatter paint present. RH wheelwell & shock tower area. Trunk pan is in fair to poor condition. Here is a close up of some rust holes by the back near the center where the gas filler hump is located. Very close up, showing where the back LH brace is (taillight housing to the left in this pic). Fairly solid, but some surface rust showing towards outer area. RH side for same area in back of trunk (taillight housing in RH part of pic). Note also a small rust hole in bottom of trunk pan by the side. ROOF AREA While the roof is solid, it does have a big NO NO. Some previous owner put in a sunroof. Was well done because doesn't appear to leak. Looking at it from the underside Close up of back area of roof by where the windshield meets the lip of the quarter sail. On some cars moisture will gather here and rust out this area. Other side Close up of front RH area of roof LH side of roof THE UNDERSIDES Here is the back side of the LH quarter, which is showing some peeling of the paint, but which as regards the metal around the wheelwell looks to be fairly solid. Close up view of the LH wheelwell looking back. Note that the rear drain plug area of the "inner-outer" wheelwell metal is still intact. This area often gets rusted out from moisture accumulating in the cavity of the trunk side areas. Rear LH frame rail looking back. If this area is rusted out you can really have problems in terms of alignment. Still on the LH side, but looking forward. The metal still looks good around the wheelwell and the 2 drain plugs don't look rusted out. Center view of the LH wheelwell area View of the inside of the RH frame rail, taken from the left side of car. Here is the LH shock tower area from underneath LH frame rail going down towards front of car As you can see, the RH quarter is rusted out. Even though quarter is rusted out, the inner outer metal where the drain plug is looks good On the right side looking in at the RH frame rail. Frame rail going back towards rear of car. Center part of RH wheelwell area and frame rail Looking forward on RH side RH frame rail looking forward where it drops down towards front of car View of inner portion of LH frame rail RH shock tower area from underneath TRIM TAG Close up of Trim Tag. 10A car with 51 paint and 200 trim. Note how the firewall is smooth and not all pitted out - like many projects you may have seen. ADDITIONAL PARTS The car does include a rear seat and two front buckets, as shown here. Also includes the metal upper cowl vent which would attach outside below the windshield. Car also comes with 2 doors - both of which are just shells. The driver's side door is attached, but not securely. The passenger side is just loose. Both doors need work or have bondo in them. There is no hood for the front clip. SOLID PROJECT CAR This car has been in Oklahoma for a number of years so you are getting a car which is a lot more solid in the lower areas than most northern and coast type cars you might be looking at. Buyer will need to bring wheels/tires. Car is missing at least 2 wheels, although not pictured, and others may not hold air. The loose parts and other items and vehicles shown in various pictures are not included. BEING SOLD ‘AS IS’ Sold ‘AS IS’ with no warranty, either expressed, written, or implied.
