71 GTO convertible at $30K BIN in Illinois. Not sure what it would cost to replace the hood, but the asking price seems reasonable to me. No engine pics, but the seller claims it run well.

Seller should have invested in a hood instead of wheels and tires.

Agree it's cool, but it's not pretty IMO. Everything from the door handles back is a bulbous butt to me. Even the trunk lid has a crease down the center. I did a search to find a nicer looking one, but most of them had vinyl tops that are offset from the body lines by a noticeable gap. The one below looks cooler without the wheel covers, but it would look better without the vinyl top like the bottom one. The bottom red one is a 428 4-speed car and really cool.

Not sure how a complete front-end hideaway set up didn't work, but it doesn't IMO... still cool.

I suppose but you can't be the prettiest in the lineup...I'm a sucker for hide-a-ways I guess

71 Lemans convertible at $40K BIN in Illinois. Nice looking stock car with 26K miles. I have a set of 14 inch honeycombs stashed away for my 69 Firebird just because I love these rims. The interior looks like a rare "born with" color and is really sharp.

I think that is the first time I have seen dark sienna interior in an orange car.
It was probably bronze or copper originally.

Dash bezel is a 70 or 72
71 bezel should be trimmed with faux leather like the console has.

This makes sense. It was very common to cut the radio hole out to put in an aftermarket radio. If you had this car and the radio hole was cut out, I could see replacing it with this bezel. Good price on this car. If I had $40K to spend on a car, I'd consider this one. These old cars are dangerous to drive without shoulder straps, and they're just old, so you really don't want to go that fast. This car doesn't pretend to be anything but what it is, and I really like that.

???

My 71 Sport had none of that: aluminum colored ribs on the bezel and fake woodgrain on the console insert and shifter bezel.

Both of the console equipped cars pictured have the simulated leather on console trim.
Those should have it on the dash bezel too.

Probably a good question for ol' Pinion Head about which cars got the leather trims.
But don't think he frequents this thread

68 Firebird in Texas at $48K, with the longest center console ever. Overpriced IMO..
