68 GTO convertible in Mississippi at $22K NR. Nice looking car and I dig the wing windows on a 68.

68 Firebird in Minnesota at $12K with a reserve. Says it's April Gold, but it looks lime green to me? I've never seen a vinyl top in that color and it looks pretty sharp. The interior is off the charts cool IMO.

Looks April Gold to me. Limelight green wasn't available until '69 and is definitely greener than this car. It is a nice car. I would lose the mud flaps...

The trim tag codes out as "triple gold" ... and the gold vinyl top option was pretty rare. It would have been a sharp combination originally, but this car's top appears to have been replaced with a green-ish vinyl that definitely doesn't work with gold paint.

A tale of two Firebirds...

#1 - 69 Firebird in Alabama at $20K NR. Except for the 17" Rally II's, it's pretty stock looking.

https://www.ebay.com/itm/32536663151...Bk9SR8KL3YL0YA



#2 - 67 Firebird in Louisiana at $8.7K with a reserve. A lot of things have been changed. Not a fan of the interior. It states that it has a 400 in it, but no pics. Fold down ear seat is cool.

https://www.ebay.com/itm/29525241944...Bk9SR8CL3YL0YA



So two questions:

1) Which car is the better investment?

2) Which car would you rather have?

69 Firebird at $66K in Florida. $66K can buy a very nice car. The interior is basically stock with a column shift, only they made the huge mistake of adding a custom super groovy console with waterbed style drink holders. That's the only thing that's not stock and it looks horrid IMO. Outside paint is nice and it's another orange convertible with a black top. The engine looks somewhat stock with M/T valve covers and an Edelbrock custom air cleaner. I did this crap when I was 16 on my 70 GTO and had all the stickers on the side windows to prove it. This is a nice car, but is nowhere near $66K IMO. /2 cents.

Here's a Firebird where I fail to connect to its following. The graphics were always considered effeminate in my day (can I use that word?.. the ad does say "2 lady owned" so there's that ). Powder blue 78 Firebird Skybird Esprit with 76K miles at $18.5K in Canada in really great shape. I'll pass. Is there a market for these cars?

The Skybirds.. Redbirds and Yellowbirds are chick cars... or femboy cars IMO.

The one advertised is the cleanest one that I have seen in a long time.

Someone bought this 69 Firebird convertible and found out the rust was too much to take on; I agree. If a car needs extensive metal work, the cost of repairing it vs. buying a car in better shape sides with the better shape car. In this case, at $8500 BIN in Texas for a 69 4-speed convertible car it doesn't get much cheaper, but the rust is deep.

Are you kidding me? That garage looks like a paradise to restore a car. Windows are glass panel and the rocks truly rock. The parts off this car are worth the asking price IMO. That nose with the hideaways are the bomb.

View from the back. An hour and some chrome polish and I'd bet the bumper would really pop.
