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

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.

That is a really tough call.

My uncle has 2 rides that I have dreamt about getting my hands on. A 1970 Pontiac GTO, low miles, all original and resting under a cover for 29 years at this point. This car represents a bit of an unattainable unicorn. He refuses to sell it, but it sits, never driven, begging to be restored. I'll convince him to sell it one of these days.

The other was one he took in trade for some body work he did. It's a 36 Ford truck with mustang II front suspension, all media blasted and completely bare. I fell in love with it when I first saw it and it is sitting in the same place he parked it 20+ years ago.
