From your profile pic it appears to be the base model Firebird. Looks pretty much original but impossible to tell from that picture.

From the pic it looks to be a Firebird with the base V8 in it. Wheels look right for the car, but that's about all I can tell at this point.

What do you mean by "where to start working on it"? What's wrong with it?

He's probably referring where to start working on it in regards to modifications.

The first thing I'd do is replace the factory exhaust with freer flowing system including the catalytic converter. That's the first place I'd start and go from there like intake, heads, cam, headers, ect, ect.

But IMHO, I'd save all the factory original parts just in case you want to return it back to stock in the future or something. Or, if you decide to sell it someday to an 3rd gen enthusiast/collector.
