A convertible 69 Bird is good no matter what engine it came with, though.

Ouch baby, very ouch. Not really sure what it came with, but rather what it has. A fold down rear seat, rally gauges, 4-speed, Rally II's, a YT 400 engine... not too shabby.

I doubt I'll ever try and buy another rare car and reproduce it as it came from the factory. I had a customer in the other day and he saw my Pontiac stuff on the wall. He brought in a picture book of his restoration on a 69 convert he did over 10 years ago and is long gone. I asked him what color it was originally, and his answer was he didn't care. He painted it blue with a black interior and white top... beautiful car. If I were to buy this car on eBay, it would be Springmist green with a light green interior and dark green top. When it's all said and done, if it doesn't have the born-with block or isn't a super rare car, the money isn't much different if you just built it like you'd want it.
