Is that the wheel paint??

How about a 69 4-door LTD? I wasn't scratching my head until I read the last part of the ad.

I thought all the police cars were Pontiac.

There were some Dodges also with Shaker Scoops added to the hoods, but yes most were Pontiac's

Maybe he's confused with this car?

That's what I'm thinking.
So, he calls it a barn find and knows approximately how many miles are on the 460 rebuild. BTW, that's alot of miles to add to the car's life after the original engine wore out. I wouldn't expect it could be in cream puff shape.
It looks just like something that would typically be destroyed in a CHiPs freeway scene. For that, I would call it a survivor.

Just going to put this here than start another thread. I think it is a great kit cat...

Never seen that kit before. It's actually pretty well done. There are hints of a '70 Torino, a '71 Mustang, some B and E body Mopar, with a little Aussie Falcon thrown in.

If it had a 429 in it (the 460 wasn't available in a 1969 LTD) it would be more interesting.

A kit to make your firebird look like an AMC?

[Greg Reid]

I think that's actually a pretty nice looking custom. Very nice in fact. Maybe a little better looking than the original car in my opinion.

To the casual observer, this looks like a pretty fair deal. A great deal, if you like Chryslers and don't mind having a car that sticks out like a green thumb. I know nothing about the resale value of these cars but the paint job & wheels alone would probably add up to the asking price.
Don't know what the longevity record of those hemis are either. Maybe they're a 200K mile engine, maybe they're a time bomb after 150K....

I wonder...why would someone have the name of a true crime show about homicides embroidered on the headrests? Excellent show by the way.. https://www.aetv.com/shows/the-first-48/about

I really dig that custom Firebird- come mes with the molds- do you think it’s a one off? Looks like something out of a video game

I thought Shelby, and DeLorean. I like it, not $45,000.00 like, though.

So after all of that work, the Firebird car still needs a stick to hold the hood up.

It would be cool yo know the back story on that car. Imagine if it was easy to make the panels- build modern pro touring style cars on 3rd gen bodies? Pretty cool idea. Modern-ish ac, handling and fuel injection.
