73 Firebird in CA with a reserve. Has a 455, but only shows 4X heads and the "C" block? The resale red on this one kills it. If you painted it green, you'd have something different. I own a 75 red Trans AM, and they're not that uncommon; Brewster green ones are.

A friend of mine is selling this. It's a factory red car. If he would have painted it green... everyone would be crying that he should've painted it the original color. The engine is original to the car... There is a picture of the vin stamp on the block in the auction.

That's a fair argument. I'm not much on true to original color, but I am when it comes to being stock, so there's some overlap there. The car is nice, and if red is what you want, then there you go. FWIW this Brewster green Trans AM used to be red, with a red interior.

why oh why would you ruin a amazing interior with sheet metal screws in the door panels?
