68 GTO convertible 4-speed in Florida at $30K with a reserve. Beautiful car. I've not owned a Pontiac without FDB for a long time. How would a car like this brake compared to FDB? Is the difference slight, or dramatic?

I've been looking at '68s too long. At an initial glance it shows well, but I see all sorts of stuff when I look closer.
- wrong bolts for the radiator cover/fasteners under the hood - missing thermostatic vacuum lines on the intake - wrong valve cover vent tube - alternator bracket looks funky, but may be right for non PS car? - black painted headlight bezels - wonky endura gap at the front fender - missing 1/4 trim, missing trunk emblem, fat door gaps, bent front valance, the GTO badge in different locations on the left and right fenders, and the way the side marker light sits in the 1/4 indicate some potentially sketchy bodywork under that paint - painted dash bezel vs. chromed - wrong lug nuts, trim rings and RII color - unpainted RII spare - washer container mounted on the driver's side fender - hacked out dash for aftermarket stereo - spray bombed underhood with trash and fish eyes in the paint - different brand front and back seat covers (look at the depth of the grooves) - wrong brake/clutch/parking brake pedal pads + pedals too high - wrong headlight knob Among other things... I think this was hastily dolled up for a quick sale.

Yes, lots of things wrong. Some easily correctable, others a bit more labor/money intensive. Not to mention the PUI seat covers and whatever is under the sheet metal of a FL car. |

Rear arrowhead lenses look to be for a Firebird. GTO/Lemans lenses protrude from the bezel. Some vendors are unaware of the difference
Vent window frame missing the door window runner. As mentioned, looks nice, but...

That’s because the 68 Firebird quarter is quite flat in that area and the 68 GTO - 68-69 LeMans is very rounded.

67 Resto-Rod Firebird in Connecticut at $15K reserve not met. Not the direction I would have taken it, but looks like a lot of work was done. WIW...?

We've seen this one before, but after really looking at what went into this car, I think it's a lot of work. 69 Firebird convertible in Pensylvania at $57K BIN. Looks like a frame off to me. The engine has aftermarket aluminum heads, so all the number crunchers should stop here, because this isn't a numbers matching car. Those heads allow you to run 1.0 more compression without pinging over factory heads, so they're really better. It is very nice IMO. I can't imagine doing all that work for $57K?

67 Firebird with a supercharged Corvette LS2 with AC at $90K BIN OBO in CA. The add looks odd and is lacking in pics, but a lot went into this car. I'd bet it's crazy fast.

69 GTO convertible 4speed in Denver at $60K BIN. It says the color is gold, but my guess would be Champagne. Says it has a RAIV, but no close ups on the engine. It would look way better without the damn wing, but it is very sharp.

67 Firebird in Washington at $11K reserve not met. It says it's a frame off with no expense spared, but leaving the hood black just makes it look unpainted. Not really any full pics of the interior. It's obvious a lot of money went into this car, but it sort of has to with a supercharged engine (I assume it's fast, but really don't know much about these engines). These old cars don't handle well stock, and some of the hot rods I see with 600HP engines and drum brakes looks really unstable. The suspension on this car looks solid.

67 body with 68 fenders? Looks kind of weird maybe not all the pieces for the fenders to bumper?
