67 Firebird 326 4-speed in Illinois at $53.5K. Claims to have a "CONCOURS-LEVEL" restoration, which costs a lot. The problem is what you start with vs. what you wind up with. Do all that work to a plain Jane car, and no matter how nice it is, it's still a plain Jane. Nice and shiny tho. There's a lot of cars I'd rather have for this much coin.

The incorrect stuff is what kills it. Wrong center caps on the wheels, 400 hood, hood tach, Camaro spoiler, stupid ass sticker on the air cleaner, Not PFDB (safety should be #1) and some of the gaps are not crisp (look at the front bumper). 1) Make a plan 2) Execute the plan 3) If it makes you money roll with #2. If it's a negative ROI, it's not worth doing it. This car will prolly never be driven 100 more miles, because it's over restored. Nice car and really pretty, but $50K is a lot and we're heading into a recession. Lots of cool cars will pop up if that happens for much less. I used to detail cars when I was 17, and this one is outstanding on the wax job. Don't drive over that puddle, cause it'll take hours to get it back to where it was. Ever hear that joke about how not driving a trailer queen is like not sleeping with your gf? /notPCreference

Why is it that most of the cars you see for sale have that Fing sticker on the air cleaner. UGH!
