I need help deciding whether I should part out a high mileage fourth gen Firebird or just sell it complete. I hope the Thirdgen owners here could give me some feedback about what parts are desirable for upgrades and what fair asking prices would be.

Thanks

the seats would be a good part for upgrade into a 3rd gen, maybe the dash and console. the rear end also, oh, dont forget the the engine and tranny (pending). these are all hot items for upgrades into a thirdgen, expecially if the interior is leather. hope this is what you wanted, or something like it. what is wrong with the 4th gen? is it beyond being repaired?

oh, to give you an idea of what they're worth, you can price them from ebay and even the classified section here. i've see just the leather seats go for over $600 on ebay all the time.

when I start my next project im going to be looking for the following:

4th Gen Dashboard (From LS1 Model)
4th Gen 6 Speed Console (From T56 Model)
4th Gen Rearend (Posi w/ Disks)

and maybe the engine/tranny but im still debating if I want to get these parts new from GM.

Camaro 22,

Your suggestions are very helpful, Thank You. The car is not damaged. I am just considering selling almost every part and starting a race car project from the bare body, up.

You'd probably do better to just sell the car as opposed to parting it out. You'd probably get about the same amount of money without all the extra work. Just my 2 cents.

Does it have a T56 if so then how much for it ?

RADONE

Z28Racer: Sorry no 6spd. I would be parting out a 6cyl. Firebird.

jseversole: If I sell it, I would have to find a undamaged shell (does ayone know where to get one) or fabricate a chassis from scratch ($$$$).
