I had to look for a while to find an 'O' code for 1967.. Custom color paint apparently.

68 Firebird in Texas with an LS1 at $1K with a reserve... decisions were made. To each his own, but rearview mirrors are important. Lots of new parts, so things could be fixed.

I do not think "Ben" will be allowed within 100 feet of my car.

69 Sprint Firebird 3-Speed Manual. Not a bad looking car if you like green cars ( I Don't) They seem to be very proud of the MAN-A Free OHC-6 tripower they have that seems not to be installed but comes with the car. I never had any luck with the one I had, but it could have been me, or the odd Mercruiser carbs I was running on it. It seemed to run the same as the Q-jet, with about 2/3 the gas mileage and I could not figure out how to put an aircleaner on the front carb and close the hood?

Probably a fine manifold for having a Cammer in a hoodless 1927 Model T phaeton.

69 Firebird 400 at $47.5K BIN in NJ. Looks like they checked off every option under $10 and a lot more. Pretty sure there were just over 200 69 Firebirds with the Speedo-safe speedometer. I have one in my stash I'll be listing this weekend.

68 Firebird 350 convertible in Michigan at $57.9K BIN. Love the car, but hate the 17" wheels. This would look so much better with some 14 X 7 Rally II's. /JMHO.

nice car refreshing to see that much attention to a 350.
I guess its better than a faux 400
but whats with the color of interior?
68 should have a pearl parchment not white.
I hope they didnt spray everything white.

That 400 is also beautiful
wondering who did the steering wheel.
I dont see any pics that would show the long branch manifolds that all RA and HO 400 cars got.

As a fan of green cars, that 400 convertible is exceptionally beautiful. That is a head-snapper for those of us distracted by shiny objects.

When I zoom in, I can see some pearl in the door panel, but the seats show like a bright white. Maybe too much sunlight.

yea I noticed the disparity too.
almost like the door panel was correct but the seat vinyl wasnt.
68 actually has pearl in the parchment,not all years of parchment did.

I see things differently the older I get. I really do like green cars. I'm not sure where I read this, but i believe most 67 and 68 Firebird were green. A 73 Brewster green T/A is my favorite. What I find the most interesting is the colors you don't see often. Coronado gold has ratcheted up my list lately.
