I hate it when sellers post close up pictures of ridiculous things, and no pictures of the whole car.

I have an original OEM dashboard from a 1973 Pontiac Firebird Formula in good condition. Includes original bezel 180 MPH speedometer glove box and a few auto meter gauges. Has two very small tears in the back corner. These are very hard to find especially with the 180 MPH Speedo. Asking $800

There are a number of dingbats on this board that do the same thing.

I enjoy word lore. This for example:

Definition of dingbat (n)
Bing Dictionary
ding·bat[ díng bàt ]
- printer's symbol: a symbol or ornamental character used in a printed work, e.g. a star or pointing hand
- object used as missile: a brick, rock, or other object that is thrown as a missile
- silly person: somebody who is considered silly or lacking in intelligence

I don't see a Pontiac engine under there.
Isn't the distributor up front?
Looks like a Buick engine to me.

Looks like he realized his mistake and fixed the picture. The picture that was there before was definitely a Pontiac engine.

There was no doubt it was a Pontiac, blue paint and all.

That picture leads me to believe that that Buick could be made into a real road burner. The early 300 had aluminum heads and intake and was pretty light, the later one had iron heads with an aluminum intake and still only weighed a little over 450 pounds. The engine also sits back in the chassis more than the Pontiac. The distributor being in the front gives them more rear clearance but it looks like the engine's harder to work on than a Pontiac. There's not a lot of room in there. If the aluminum heads will fit the 340, it might make a nice combination. Even if you only used a period GTO handling package it could be made to handle really well.
