Default 68 birdls1 for sale

the car has a 99 ls1 out of a trans am with a auto that has a 3500 stall convertor in it. the motor is supposed to have a hotcam in it but doesnt lope like a hotcam car. i ported the exhaust manifolds just to get a lil extra flow. motor has about 60K miles and the tranny is built with all kevlar bands and clutches for every gear, has a new sungear, corvette servo, and quite a bit more. tranny probably has 9000 according to the guy that i bought it from. the rear end is a stock 68 8.5 10 bolt posi rear. car has a ls1 radiator and ls1 electric fans on it. also has ls1 front calipers and rotors.

now onto the body, the main thing wrong with the body now is the floor pan. needs all new pans all the way around. but i was just recently told by a guy that works at npd that they sell a full length floor pan for under $400 and shipping is under $100. has brand new fenders from year one. and brand new 67 fender extensions. the hood needs a lil work but is a 400 hood. the front bumper needs to be replaced but it is a good daily driver. the rear bumper is brand new but is not on. it needs the brackets. the car came with new partial 1/4 panels when i got it, but needs some bondy work around them to look good. has some rusts wholes around the back window, but not a big deal from what i have been told from body men. the panel right under the rear window need to be replaced as well but is a cheap fix. the drivers side rear panel right behind the wheel is rusted out and needs to be replaced. rockers need to be replaced as well. but i did just get the car out of the body shop from getting a new custom trunk installed. looks awesome, also got new rear subframe rails put it and steel tubing to tie it all together. has a trunk mounted fuel cell with a built in sump in the tank. hides the cell from underneith and looks good. all glass is there and in good shape. Oh yea it also needs new door skins

I have well over $11,000 into it after addin all of it up, but will sacrifice for $6800. thanks for looking

Would you consider a trade for a 63 caddy limo. All power options, cold AC, everything stock.

If I didn't have my "never ending project", I'd take it. Most of the hard stuff is done. Somebody should jump on it. I have that much just in my engine/tranny.
