The blue T/A sold for $18.1K. That's a lot of money, but this car should have fetched more. Someone got a killer deal.

Update... the car is now listed at $38K with a reserve. Scam?

Good catch. I thought they were the same car. That car was a steal at $18.1K.

Interesting 1999 Firebird Firehawk Trans AM pace car with 200 miles on it. What I find the most interesting is the $33.7K investment almost 20 years ago. Asking $44.3K OBO. A poor investment, but a cool car. Storage for 20 years is cheap on this one. For a 4th Gen this seems to be about as good as it gets... cept for a stick.

Says it has the SLP rear in the description but it doesn't show up on the sticker.

OK, you made me go and research some more.



All LS1 (V8) and Y87 (V6) Firebirds received a Zexel/Torsen II slip-reduction rear axle. So it is 'included' basically with the G80 AXLE,REAR,POSITRACTION,LIMITED SLIP POSITRACTION L/SLIP R/AXLE option.



Also looks like it is not in that registry in your link.

1981 T/A 4-speed with a red interior... my favorite. No Reserve and no bids yet. Located in Santa Cruz CA.

Here's a 69 Firebird with a 400 hood in Nevada. Only 4 pics (none of the interior or engine) and very little verbiage, but he does say part of the floor is out, which may indicate rust. Nevada cars typically don't have rust, which would make this one more attractive if the quarters were solid. Also has the arrow on the bumper which is something people don't normally add when adding a 400 hood, so it could be a real 400. Have to ask questions about the drivetrain and options, but it could be a diamond. NR starting at $8K.

I like that '69...could be a nice car, especially if it's a 400 car.
P.S. - That has to be the fattest dog I've ever seen. Looks like two dogs in a one dog suit.

Cool, Miller Pontiac. Just a few miles from me. I bet they'd love to get that one back.

Are there PHS docs with this car? Why no pics of the engine?

I've seen some funky screaming chickens in my day, but there's something about this one I just can't put my finger on. The monster truck whale tail sorta completes all the bad ideas that went into this 79 Firebird. Has a reserve, but could be brought back by changing a lot of things. The straight pipes would prolly cause your neighbors to hate you, but I guess in 1983 they were cool.

This 1988 Firebird claims to have over $45K invested with a starting bid of $9500. I guess if you have unlimited funds and then things change, maybe this is the first thing you'd get rid of. Prolly fun to drive. I think the funny thing about it is it states the AC needs to be hooked up. Located in Maryland and comes with a pine tree air freshener.
