IM CURIOUS AS TO HOW MUCH A RESTORED 78 FIREBIRD FORMULA WITH A 455 ENGINE IN IT WOULD BE WORTH. AND WOULD IT BE WORTH MY TIME TO RESTORE IT OR WOULD I BE BETTER OFF DOING WHAT I PLANNED ALREADY AND STRIP IT AND UPGRADE EVERYTHING TO A DRAG OR DRIFT SERIES CAR. AND AT THAT THIS IS MY FIRST CAR (GOTTA LOVE THEM PONTIACS!) I JUST WANT TO KNOW WHAT IS BEST FOR THIS CAR. I'VE BEEN TOLD THIS CAR IS A RARE ONE AND IF IT IS I WANT TO HOLD ON TO IT. I HAVENT SEEN MANY IN HPP SO NEED TO KNOW WHATS GOING ON.
I READ HPP ADAMANTLY AND KNOW THAT IM GOING TO HAVE AT LEAST ONE PONTIAC IN MY GARAGE AT ALL TIMES. SO I JUST BE HAPPY WITHOUT REGRETS. ANY SUGGESTIONS ON THE PRICE WOULD BE MUCH APPRECIATED THANKS!!! EXIT

I would look into getting some documentation on your car before doing anything to it.  The biggest suspicion I have is the 455......in a 78?  I'm not aware of any that had 455s.  My understanding is Pontiac stopped making them in 76 and a couple may have made it into the 77 model year, but I've never heard of any in 78.  

Look into that before you start spending your money.
