He says it's a 285 HP original engine - this would mean it's the 4 bbl HO 326 - only 6,000 of those out there. (Mine was one - but it was swapped out long ago for a 400.)

I'd expect an educated seller to know enough to at least say it's a 4 bbl. (vs. the 130,000 or so V8 2 bbls that were sold.) Since this seller apparently thought the GTO badges were a good idea; my money says there's a 2 bbl under that air cleaner.

Not Craigslist, but these cool wood steering wheels earn their way to being in this thread. Only $325

That guy is going the way of the inventor of the Opti-grab, except he's going to bypass the riches and go straight to sued to an inch of his life.

This is somewhat interesting. From the outside the price looks right, but the rear suspension!

Wonder how that protouring is working out with the rear spring placement

Perusing eBay and this hood almost poked my eye out. All it needs is one of those wooden steering wheels to really perfect it. They kind of match the hood.

Turns out the car has 8 tailpipes too. With all that custom work, it seems like a steal for $38k.

Thats got to be the ugliest 69 bird I've ever seen. The girl is ok but the only way to that much for the T/A is if she comes alone as a slave.

Such a hideous thing to do to a Firebird!

Just think, he could have used all that effort to build something nice.

He certainly missed a wonderful opportunity to NOT screw up a Pontiac...and after doing all that, he goes and drops a BBC in it.
