Hello everyone! I just purchased my dream car! It's a 1968 Pontiac Firebird! My dad had one while I was growing up and I always wanted one for myself. I feel like I got a deal on the car! It is a 1 owner car and has been locked in a shipping container since the late 70's car has zero rust and it had a fresh paint job right before storing it. It's an all matching numbers car with 39,000 miles. Unfortunately it's the 6cyl column shift car. It came with the factory paper work and original title, owners Manuel and build sheet! They drained all the fluids from the car before storing it and the dash components are out and in the trunk. So I have a little work to do before I can fire it up. I plan on putting an upgraded suspension on it and four wheel disc brakes in the near future! Hope I can get to know some of you guys and look to you for help when needed. I'll be open to helping anyway I can! My name is mike and I'm from The upstate South Carolina

Welcome to the board from a fellow new guy in the Carolinas!

Your car sounds like it has a very cool history. I'd love to see it.

Thanks guys! Tonight I'm gonna see if I can get it to fire off for the first time in 37 years! Will try to get some pictures of it tomorrow. I bought the car from Gastonia. Not far from Charlotte!
