    When I was in high school, we could buy cars like these for $500.
    Usually, they needed a new clutch or rear end.

    My graduation gift was a 1969 Firebird.. Original blue with 350ci and 2spd trans. I had to paint it black and did suspension with 4.56 12bolt posi rear.. New Turbo 350 tranny with 3700 converter. Had a local stock class champion build a 1968 400, that was almost done and ready to go in. In 1988 I got stupid and turned it into an accordion 1 night. Hit a tree so hard that the floorpan buckled and front seats were aiming at each other. Firewall moved back and impact blew out several windows. Moral to this story is, drive sober ! I am here ,by the grace, and subscibed to Maple Motors, because some day soon I will be shopping for another Bird. I enjoy yor videos.. Thanks

    Really honest video about the cosmetic issues, particularly those rust bubbles under the top. The vin indicates it’s a 6 cylinder car that someone added a period correct 400. Which is why it doesn’t have the 400 hood, cross pattern radiator supports, or arrow head on bumper. Sounds like it runs great. Fun car!

      I wonder why they didn't put on the ram air 400 hood, that would have made a lot more sense and looked so much better also.

    So many old-time car guys removed fan shrouds or swapped engines and never replaced the shrouds. Sometimes even to "fix" cooling problems. Never understood it. Removing t-stats to "fix" overheat problems, running no overflow tank, just a hose...to 'fix' cooling problems. Anyway. 1Gen Firebirds are badass.

    Good car, most of the interior looks original, even the carpet, great driver , I believe the those are the original miles, If I had it, I'd paint the wheels the correct way, put Uniroyal white walls on, drop the rear level with the front and enjoy it. 👍💪

    Owned it for years .
    350 , 389 and 400 all had the same big block . ( Are you sure its not a 350 ? Its a 350 hood w no scoups )
    spray some WD40 in that seat belt . it might help .
