That's pretty. The sky blue really works on that car.

A close friend has one Azure blue, blue interior.

It is an SX: 455, Dual Gated TH400, trumpet exhaust.

I prefer the 350; 60 pounds lighter - they run very well and much better mileage.

Oh, I disagree... I think he failed brilliantly.
Easy fix except why did he have to go and paint the front corners of the hood? What's that supposed to represent? Eyes?

67 Firebird restomod at $130K in Michigan. Let's see... would I rather have a real 69 Trans AM, or this? Most of these types of cars have a blown LS3 or some sort of new technology. The sad thing about this car is that it has the original numbers matching 400. Maybe they're hoping some billionaire gets drunk and clicks BIN, but clearly swinging for the fences. I can find many Pontiacs I'd rather have for 1/3 the asking price. It does have a nice paint job, so there's that. Prolly too nice to drive. I worked with a guy who bought a 69 Judge new when he graduated college. After he had it repainted, he was afraid to drive it for fear of getting a chip in the paint.

71 Trans AM 455HO 4-speed project car in Florida t $5K with a reserve. Ad states local pick up only, so you prolly need to live close enough to rent a U-Haul and pick it up yourself. It says it has a "correct" block and a "built" 4-speed, but my guess is it's NOM... still cool though. Can't read the build sheet, but it looks like there were few options. This one would take a while to put back together, but if it's a Lucy blue it would be pretty. Worth noting is one quarter has been replaced and the ad states it needs "tweaking" to be right... hmmm...

I would love to have that one... But even more, I would love to have the energy and money to finish it. No rotating assembly for the engine I suppose..
Color code 11 is Cameo White by the way. Those cars look good in either color.

Good catch on it being white. I agree this would take lot to finish. If I was retired I'd have time and it would give me something to do, but the ease would depend on how it was taken apart. If the bolts are all in baggie and labeled that's much better than one bucket of bolts. Here's a pic of a white 71 Barrett Jackson car:

73 GTO with a 455 frame off restored at $20K NR in Florida. Not for everyone, but a frame off is a ton of work and money. Sharp car. Note the cost of the 455 upgrade... $44.

sharp car but the "salvage" title puts me in a pause mode.
I dont think insurance companies will add collision and comp if its branded.

Every once in awhile once of these cars pops up with more questions than answers. 67 Firebird 400 convertible t $10.5K BIN in Missouri with few pics. Nicely optioned auto car. Wonder what the original colors were?

The seller has added a few pics to the auction, including of the trim tag. Original colors were Coronado Gold, Gold deluxe interior, Cream convertible top. I bet it looked great when new. I really like the way this one was optioned, too.

I had to look for a while to find an 'O' code for 1967.. Custom color paint apparently.

Linden Green or Champagne would be my guess from the look of the cowl paint.
Nice options.

If it was Champagne it would be the cat's pajamas. In 1969, since Pontiac didn't publish the stats, less than 1% of 69 Camaros were Champagne. Green was very popular in 67-68, which would also be awesome... extremely awesome.
