Birds have to have 400 HO engine and option 611 (iirc) Hood Air Inlet ,,,, to be actual RA with Dport engine.

They also deleted all the AC equipment and changed the Custom Deluxe interior to Standard on that Bird. Very weird to have back stepped those features on what appears like a mostly nice build.

Would much rather have it as it's original Crystal Turquoise 400 4spd high option pedigree configuration versus a TA clone. Really strange choices made by someone.

68 Firebird convertible in NY at $52K BIN. There's a lot I like about this car as the build quality looks awesome. The buyer bought this painted, so all the interior and mechanical work was done in the last two years. That's a lot of work when you include 4WD and all the other mechanical upgrades. Now break down the ROI. Interior: IMO this kind of interior is a positive ROI. Sound damping was installed and it looks pro. Engine: 350 with a 4-barrel 0.060 over. I would not have gone this route. I have a 69 Firebird 350HO convertible and I looked everywhere starting in the late 90's to find a WC 350HO auto block, and I could never find it (I did about 2 years ago, but not worth it now). This was early 2000's and Pontic blocks were easy to find. I found a 400 2BBL block out of a 68 wagon and used that as the base. My logic was assuming since it was in a wagon, it was not abused. I found some #62 heads on eBay for $1500 that was dropped off in a machine shop to be rebuilt, and the guy never picked them up. A cam that was actually less lopey than stock to effectively reduce compression, but not by much. Point being it wasn't a RAIV cam that sounds lopey and runs hot. This engine is dressed in hot roddy garb to make it look fast with some chrome, but it's still a 350, and I think #17 heads. Now add up what it cost to add rear disc brakes, new transmission, posi rear etc., and that costs a lot when added up. If you drive the car a lot, then you chose wisely. The majority of cars like this have <2K miles on them. I think the moral of the story is that safety is always a good idea with disc brakes, PS/PB, shoulder belts, etc., but if it runs, just keep running it. Pontiacs will run for well over 100K if you take care of them. I like the car and I wish the seller luck, but the cars you can get for over $50K are typically flawless, like the tach is painted.

69 GTO project at $8K in Pennsylvania. Ad says it's 99% complete, so I guess that means it has all of the parts. Original color was gold.

I think this one is deceptive. 70 GTO Judge tribute at $5K in Florida. It doesn't plainly state whether it's a Lemans Judge tribute, or a GTO Judge tribute. If it's a real GTO, all good. If it's a Lemans, not so much. Nice car with a high reserve.

67 GTO in Oregon at $36K OBO. Nice car with a very clean under carriage. If this was crusty underneath, it wouldn't be worth as much.

That looks like exceptional body work. I don't think I've ever seen a 70 nose match the fenders and hood that well.

Beautiful!

Nice looking car.

That color doesn't need any stripes.
Especially not olive stripes.

Really nice car done from top to bottom for 90k

68 Firebird convertible in Illinois at $94K. Beautiful frame-off on this car. Some odd engine choices - NOM 350HO with a RAIV intake. Says it's a 400 on the trunk lid, which may look cool, but it's not true. 60 Trans AM hood with custom "Ram Air" badges, but it does have Ram Air, so there's that. Overall a beautiful car and a large asking $$$.
