Mike and Pete:
The car does have some really neat original touches. If you notice the black plates match the title (I didn't just buy them on ebay and stick them on). The wood shift knob is still on the Firebird as ordered. I took the original belts and hoses off of the car and it runs and drives really great! Everybody always asks me, "What are you going to do with it... restore it?" I just laugh and tell them, "it's perfect the way it is." Ed
