[QUOTE="clean hairy, post: 2043758, member: 55223"] Folks, would like some feedback on this one. I know a guy has a '79 Firebird (not sure of engine/trans combo, but do know it is a V-8 all numbers matching, 100% stock) His Wife bought it as her first car.Failed Emissions in the mid 90's, so they have had it parked in the garage ever since. No body damage except for the obligatory door dings, paint is still great. He wants to have it restored one day. I say to pull the original engine and trans, put in good used drivetrain, keep the original in the garage untouched, and make it driveable as it sits, no restoration, it is only original 1 time. Best route to go on it? Is it a car I should consider buying if he decides to sell, and what price? [/QUOTE]
