Youngster, you don't buy a 1968 Firebird with a 455 for mileage LOL!! That car is a collectors item and if you don't want it anymore, let me know i will take off your hands.

You shouldn't be looking for gas mileage on this one. Its likely to be around 10mpg. If it has mods, probably less.

Nah, the 455 wasn't available until 1969 or 70.

5k, you got a lot of room to find something...you can get a really clean good running 3rd gen, 5k you can also get a good 93 or 95...
if you look hard enough youcan even find a first generation, not show quality but with 5k you can probably find a running 1st gen, keep lookin, 5k is more then enough to find something good.
