Not many people would know this fact, you really have to be a very knowledgeable Pontiac Firebird person. That excludes lots of car appraisers.

That said I would want my money back on that appraisal, because it is not worth anything except for documenting the condition of the car with the pictures.

Further if you insure the car with an agreed value policy, you don’t need an appraisal anyway. I’d say $40-50,000USD so you can fix it or replace it if it is damaged/lost.

I would not value it any higher than a 1973, Y code, auto Trans Am

I would if certain options were there. You need PHS in this case. They made 3,130 TA L75/auto and 503 Formula L75/auto.
Appraisal from that company is worthless.

Rarely is not always an indicator of demand. My observations have been that Formulas do not get the Love when compared to an equivalently optioned and year TA. I guess a no console/ column shift TA would be a good exception.

I think the worst part is that for the past year , dear old Bob White has mislead the owner of this Formula into misbelieving a family heirloom is worth 180-200k.
And then we innocently bring the value into reality.

I think its time for Bob to retire.

Even on the elementary side , he missed the wrong colored interior pieces and lists them as original.
Includes the non-original wheel flares as original .
And no idea what he means about an overhead console.

Would call Bob and offer to sell him or any of his collector friends the car for 100k , as a token of appreciation.

40-50k agreed value on an insurance policy sounds like pretty realistic coverage.
