computer_guy04 Posted March 4, 2006 Share Posted March 4, 2006 hey guys! sorry, it's been a while since I've been on here, just been busy at work lately. Anyways, I have a '68 Pontiac Firebird that I bought several years back, and I have been buying parts (stuff that needed replacing that wasn't factory orginal for a while - and have tied up a few penny's in the car) and now after working working on it here and there for like 7 years, I am finally ready to get the thing on the road. I have all the body parts and stuff like that, however, I have ran into a major electrical problem. I need to replace all the wiring harness' on the car. Now, I have searched the internet and even posted on a few car restoration web sites, but I haven't gotten much feedback. I know of Classic Industries and I have bought stuff from them and they are good. However, there wiring harness' are awfully expensive (and if I can't find the parts no where else, then I guess I will break down and buy them but it'll take a lot longer to get the car on the road than I want to wait :-)). And I had bought a few parts from a guy in CA I believe, called Franks Pontiac but he doesn't have the wiring harness' I need. I was hoping maybe you'll could help me out. I would appreciate any help!!! Thanks in advance!! Matt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nvidia Posted March 8, 2006 Share Posted March 8, 2006 Your best bet is a junk yard, my friend. I work for a wholesale parts dealer, and I come into contact all the time with vehicles where the parts are obsolete. Your main problem is that you have a Pontiac Firebird. Those cars were not nearly as popular as the Camaro and the Mustangs from that same era. If it's not profitable for a company to pay people to make remanufactured parts, they simply won't do it. :( If you take a day and spend it at the junk yard and find one of your same year, you can walk out with EVERYTHING you need while only spending a tiny sum of cash. Another thing you might want to consider is buying a doner car, where you can take ALL the parts you need. Rolling chassis' can be found on Ebay all the time. Good luck man, and post up some pics. I love the 68 Firebirds. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
super_evil_8_ball Posted March 9, 2006 Share Posted March 9, 2006 Well, if you are wanting to go with a new harness for the whole car try Painless Wiring or Year One. I don't know what the price difference would be against Classic Industries but I want to say that Year One is Classic's biggest rival in the parts biz.
