While at Riley's 1st birthday party on Sunday I was approached by one of Lindsey's Grandmothers neighbours. She is looking to sell her 1978 Formula Firebird, which has been basically sitting for a few years. She has taken it out every once and a while but now wants it out of the garage. She told me it was in good shape although I haven't seen it yet.
I have had a 2nd Gen bird in the past ('81 w/267 SBC) and I do know what to look out for. Droopy door pins, Rear floor pans, etc. I did some looking around on-line and it seems that in the southern US these cars in excelent condition are selling for around $4500. I am sure that this isn't near that condition but I will have to check it out to be sure. What do you guys think? Is it worth looking at? With gas around a buck a litre I think this wouldn't be driven very much. Maybe I should get it, fix her up a bit then re-sell it.
What to do, what to do......
