79 Firebird in NY at $1K NR. Has a rebuilt drive train to include a 400 Pontiac block. There looks to be new interior parts too.

I am wondering where that exhaust job is considered acceptable?

I agree, not a bad looking 67 Bird, but I think I have cobbled up a better looking exhaust system in a K-Mart parking lot 40+ years ago as a broke teenager.

The exhaust is LOL bad, but overall not a bad Bird. A few easy fixes: dumbass buick decal, wheel centers, leaky water outlet, chevy carb. I like the color a lot. The interior and engine bay present well.

Ebay auction ended early on the ‘67 Bird. Looks like it may have sold on the seller’s website. Would like to see an undercarriage photo. I bet they hung the exhaust below the convertible-only frame cross-brace.

You guys see this one in the GP section? About 20 horsepower short of "Holy Grail" status, but I like it.

Cammer-6, this has your requested third pedal!

That car is very nice... maybe too nice. It's a nut & bolt frame off using NOS parts. Not sure what someone would be winning to pay for it? Nice car and that 69 GP optional leather interior is my absolute favorite in old Pontiacs.

68 Firebird 4WD 4-speed convertible at $10K reserve not met in Texas. 400 has 6X heads, so probably not NM. I do like the color. It's not a pure red, buy kinda burgundy.

If I didn't already have too many cars, I consider this one hard... it's beautiful and well worth asking IMO. 65 Pontiac Catalina convertible 389 tri-power , 8 lugs, 4-speed in Tennessee at $20K and BIN of $40K. White with a red interior and white top. That is one stunning car and the chrome looks cherry.

68 Grand Prix in Minnesota at $20K BIN. With a Cheshire grin front end, to the very um...., uh, aerodynamic rear styling, this one is both loved and hated. At $20K, that's a good deal for this car. I think it's cool.

That 65 Cat Vert was an oddball order
2bbl engine with a 4spd - definitely deserves the current TriPower set up.
Very nice car

I like that 65 Catalina also, bench seat 4-speed cars are great. Glad I don't have room for it!

I missed it, but now that you pointed it out, I can't unsee it. The car below has the "Firebird" script along the bottom of the peak in the fender. The blue one is a bit higher.

Too high and too far back / too close to wheel arch .
Just put 'em anywhere Norton
