If you could restore ONE car.

i had one of those also, had the original correct mirrored t-tops, original PWH block, etc. - should've kept it -
are they reproducing the correct birds for the hood now ?

They are reproducing the correct (or near correct) hood bird/decal package now, but the only repro interior that is available is not an exact OEM copy even though it is billed as such. It's still better than what came in it the car so i bought it. I located a super t-10 4 speed and a hurst shifter so that's correct and it still has the factory mirrored t-tops too.

This car did not have the original engine or transmission when i bought it so it's restored value is not a consideration. Additionally it lived a life of abuse with evidence of at least one good wreck present. It was one step away from the crusher when we got it, and i've been working on it since sep 2008 (I don't have much time to work on it). We're painting it now, and will move on to color sanding shortly. It'll make a fun daily driver.

All this talk about T/As makes me forget how much I liked the look of those 69 Firebirds.

This thread made me bring back some memories lol. I have my Dad digging up some old pics and pic slides of his '62 GP. I totally forgot he bought the car from Tex Schramm in 1963. My Dad worked for Van Winkle Pontiac in those days and Tex purchased his cars there. Tex had bought the car for his wife, only to bring it back because "it was too much for her". He came to my Dad to sell it back, but before Van Winkle could make an offer, my old man snatched it. I found an old youtube vid of a similar car....his was white w/red interior...
