70-L67/4spd (wow!)
I'm not knocking the car, this is afterall a beautiful example of the 'big dog' of 1970 Firebirds.
My question is; Is a RAIV/4spd really a quarter of a million dollar car? https://www.hemmings.com/classifieds...d/2330772.html https://youtu.be/4Y3yp5Cs7ZQ

I think thats reflecting a reduced price because its not White with Bright Blue Deluxe Interior. Usually they'll start them out at around 285-300 with a real light weight bobber float attached above the hook.
Those are King Fish cars right behind RamIV Judge Convertibles |

Always thought a 73' T/A 455 SD 4spd would be/should be the King. I guess there is a replacement for displacement...Lucerne blue?

Interesting. My '68 400(0.30 over, ported RA II heads, 12.0 compression, with long branch manifolds through 2 1/2" exhaust w/goerlich xlerators) with the melling copy of the 041 cam is quite a bit quieter on start up. But then I don't drive it enough so it may be wishful thinking on my part(I prefer a quieter idle.)

with only 88 examples built, there's no doubt that at any given time there's very few if any to pick from.
I have understood that often blue cars do fetch a premium... I was just surprised at the asking/starting price... I actually thought the cam sounded tame, even at a cold start for a 041, but I'll assume others here know better than me. I appreciate hearing thoughts on the car. It seems to be a really nice car, there's no doubt of that. Quote:
I don't recall hearing about that one just now.

Is it me or is the LH rear spoiler cap a '74-'78?

The no rear sway bar would bother me?
(as said above)

It's a beautiful car! I wish it had bright blue interior, but you cant be too picky when it comes to these cars.
