Ultra rare Sprint with the 326 engine.

Special body colored dash and door tops
Early PUI "no pleat" seat covers.

Why would you get a sprint option and then put an auto tran in it. And why does it have a 326 emblem on it?. Notice no photos of engine. Of course I'm not educated on cammers.

There is NO way that car is worth 70K. Where are engine bay, undercarriage, trunk Photos.
Covered up cracked steering wheel. front seat covers reversed and more...

good luck getting 50K without more info.

On another note. Back in the mid 90's I remember seeing the Firebird parked in front of a body shop in South San Francisco with a for sale sign. I think they wanted $3500 at the time. The old man that had it a few years back.. bought it from the body shop. I think the current seller is the old mans daughter.

It is a super nice car. I would've stepped up if it had a black top and interior. The green and white is too girlish for me.

It’s an interesting car. Strange that it’s loaded with options but no pw.

They just about have to be GM
Nobody else would have made those for a 65 full size Pontiac .

I think they might have been test samples

All those pics and the one photo of the engine bay is worthless.
I'd give him what he's asking though, so long as the frame and floors are California clean.

That, and he thinks a ‘68 is 45 years old.
