Owner bought Firebird in the '70s then gave up on restoring it in no time, now parked in South Carolina

The owner of this classic 1967 Pontiac Firebird had plans to give it a full restoration back in the 1990s, but didn’t get very far.

The South Carolina man bought the Pontiac in the 1970s and spent a couple of decades driving it around.

But in 1997, he took the Firebird off the road and started to restore it. 

However, he didn’t get very far with the makeover, and now the vehicle is up for sale and in need of some TLC.

The 1967 Pontiac Firebird has been parked since 1997

There are few things more wonderful to see than an old forgotten car getting a second chance, like this Toyota Celica GT-Four that was lovingly restored by its new owner, or this barn find Ferrari 512BBi that was brought back to life after 17 years off the road.

So we really hope that this poor old Pontiac Firebird ends up with a new owner who is keen to tackle a full restoration. 

The vehicle was bought by a man in South Carolina back in the 1970s, but he placed it into storage in 1997. 

It seems as though he had plans to give the car a slick restoration himself, but after sanding away the paintwork, for reasons unclear, the project ground to a halt. 

Now, almost 30 years on, the car has ended up with eBay seller kymco455, who is attempting to get it a new home.

The vintage vehicle needs some TLC

The 1967 Pontiac Firebird comes with some pretty neat options, including power windows, an AM/FM radio, air conditioning, and power steering. 

Although the vehicle has been parked since the late 1990s, the seller says the numbers-matching V8 engine still turns. 

But it’s by no means ready for the road, the Firebird will need extensive restoration – it requires new floor pans, trunk pan, and lower quarters.

The inside is also in need of some attention and will likely need to be stripped out and replaced. 

Some parts of the Firebird have been removed, but the seller says he has them all and will sell them with the car so whoever buys it can get cracked with it returning it to its former glory. 

The classic car is in need of quite a bit of work, but it could make an excellent project in the right hands, don’t you think?
