What would a "non-original" paint color do to the value of your 71 T/A?..........I'd say,it would reduce the value of the car an amount equal to the cost of repainting,in the correct....or at least a factory available color...

Different story if this were a base bird, Esprit or started life as a Formula 350.......JMO

Thats the beauty of my T/A..... it isnt one. It was a gold on tan Esprit.

Do I think it hurt the value of the car in question having a color change? To a few people it does, but I think that most people who are buying cars at these auctions are buying them because they like them for what they are. Most are buying cars to drive and enjoy. The car not wearing its original color is not a issue for me. In fact, I think it looks better.

I will look for the car Thursday.

Since I'm not sure about this i'll make it a question. In 73, the Y99 Suspension
upgrade also got you 15 inch wheels. This 72 states Y99 and 14 inch wheels.
So my question is, were 15 inch wheels part of Y99 in 72?

[Judge273]

Yes in 72 y99 is 15 wheels steelies standard or options includes rally I or honeys listed on phs.

I was wondering the same thing on the 1st and second Gen Birds. From what the Judge members are posting it seems that Pontiac is on the rebound.

Not at BJ that I saw, other than the 72 Formula mentioned earlier, I didn't see any other 70-73 birds, formy's or TA's that caught my eye, especially from 70-71-72. I did see quite a few 67-69 birds this year though. Also saw more orange 69 judges than usual, so many I thought I was lost and walking in circles

[Formulajones]

Not to take this too far off subject, just a gripe really that I heard alot of people talking about this weekend.....

What's with all the various channels throughout the week broadcasting BJ??? I've counted 4 different channels at different times, some switching in the middle of the day, even on the fox business channel? Today it's on some other channel, and then at prime time tonight, probably the biggest night for BJ, it's broadcast on National Geographic? Talk about odd. I know Speed is gone but why couldn't they find one channel and stick with it?

I gave up earlier this week and quit watching it, too much trouble. I have a feeling their viewing audiance count is going to be down this year. Hopefully BJ takes notice and corrects it for next year.

I to heard of all the channel changes but I watched it on Speed since Tuesday and did not have to look for it on other channels

[Formulajones]

Interesting that you still have Speed. That channel died down here late last year and is no longer available on DirecTV.
