1bbl Motor, looks to have a black crinkle finish to the cam cover, I had a few early 66's with a black finish to the cam cover, didn't buy them new, but was suprized that they were both built in Oct 65. Do not know if this one is just painted or coated.

In Fl he lists a complete 230 OHC-6

No Picture, but this Listing for a 68 Sprint Motor in NY Could be a Deal

69 1 bbl in VA

another running 69 1bbl with 2 speed auto in OK

My Guess would be a 66 Sprint (by the small HB and Aluminum Front Belt cover) in Portland OR

This Ad from WI Lists some Sprint Q-jets, no Idea on Condition/price

http://milwaukee.craigslist.org/pts/2770632365.html

And A very $$$ 66 Sprint intake and Exhaust manifold, missing everything but the Choke coil and push rod CA

http://modesto.craigslist.org/pts/2759762109.html

Nothing to exotic on CL at the moment

Jeff,Ive got a couple black cam covers,just figured it was added

[camerjeff]

Gary,

I used to think the same thing, but the 2 66's I had with the black crinkle coat finish were both built in the 2nd week of Oct 65, one was a Sprint 3-speed Lemans, the other was a 4-door Tempest 1 bbl Automatic. I bought the 4-door from the grandson of the original owner, no performance mods were ever done to it, I do not think anyone ever had the engine apart before I changed the cam when it went bad at about 85,000 miles.
Drove it for a work car for about 4 years until the rust and front end parts wore out on it, then I parted it out. Both those covers went to Q back in 2006 when I sold most of my spare parts to him.
Almost makes me believe that they made a small run of coated cam covers early on, but probably stopped due to cost. I have no proof at all though. But that Tempest sure seemed to me to have been Factory. The sprint had headers, and an H-cam in it, ran very well until it was totaled by a drunk driver parked in front of my house around 1980. So I would beleive that that one could have been added by a previous owner.

A few more...

The 68 has been offered for over a year. The price drop makes it very tempting.

This FB with the split front bench seat is interesting would love to see a better set of pic of the interior.

This one wasn't on that list and caught my eye.

Jeff, I agree that the 68 Tempest is a tempting offer, I dought it is a 3-speed Auto trans in it though. But it looks to have my least favorate interior color of Ivy Gold. I just have never card for that color, and it fades into a multi colored spectum that all are even worse than the original color!!!! Just my rant of the day. Please ignore if you are offended or like Ivy Gold.

In the spirit of this I found a couple cars.

Jeff,
I've been eyeing the Firebird with the link that you posted from Streetside Classics. It has been there for a few months that I know of. The price seems high, but with so little to compare it to, how does one know?
With that said, looking at the pic's, it looks like the front bumper/fender alignment seems to be off a little bit. The gaps from left to right where the bumper meets the fenders gives me the impression that the whole front end was tweaked, or just not assembled quite right.

[camerjeff]

robscar,

That 68 Lemans Sprint in CA is an interesting car!!!!! Very odd Color Combo with the Green Paint, white or Parchment Top with matching interior, but with the black dash and Carpeting.
68 A-body Spring 4-speed, wow very few were built, looks to have gauge package minus the Tach, and Power Steering, and if it is in as good a shape as it looks in the pic's, the price is not unreasonable.

Reminds me of the HS car I had that started my fasination with these engines, but mine was a 69 Tempest 2 Door Sedan, Same Color, no vinal roof, no Power Steering 4 wheel drum brakes. It was fun seeing people look at the bench seat with the pick up truck style shifter!!! If I could find anouther 69 Tempest Sprint I would be very tempted to get back into this game!!!!

Thanks for posting.

Back on Ebay

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/1967-...#ht_742wt_1169

The first time I saw it listed the bid went to 13,655.55 with 45 bids.

The second time I saw it listed, it sold for 14,000 with 46 bids. I do not know why it fell through. If my 05 was sold I would bid on it. I'm really liking the different colors of the interiors. Other than black that is.

Looks like a pic of a 4bbl engine in a red car. Yet, he advertises this one as a 1bbl equipped car.

I saw that 68 Lemans before. I would really like a Bird instead though. When was the 68 at Streetside listed for a higher price? Do you recall the price? There are so few that it is hard to get a idea of prices. Wasn't really looking for a vert either.
I recently talked to a guy about a 68 HO350 vert that was listed on ebay. Aleution (sp) blue with black interior. Beautiful survivor. Could have had that for considerably less that the one at Streetside.

[robscar]

Here's one from ebay.
