Why is it that most of the cars you see for sale have that Fing sticker on the air cleaner. UGH!

Stickers are a cheap 'Performance' accessory

[kingbuzzo]

previous owner stickered mine...luckily hidden under shaker and now being used as a rust deterrent

[limejudge69]

My theory is those stupid decals have been plastered on so many air cleaners for so long, people believe they are original equipment. Especially if they are a flipper or not familiar with Pontiacs

Here's an odd one... 69 Firebird convertible "restomod" at $3K with a reserve in Missouri. Typically the term restomod is used when the car is heavily modified, which is usually an engine swap. I wouldn't consider this car a restomod, but rather a basically stock car with one very poor decision, which is going with 69 Camaro seats. It's easily fixed with some new seat covers, but still?

Those bandit rally II's look rite at home on this car...

On the Green 68 in Cali , would highly recommend a buyer to perform full diligence on the engine specs/codes.
Some things about it don't smell right.

This one looks like a fun car to build. 1954 Chieftain sedan delivery in Canada at $3.5K BIN (US $$). Needs everything with no drive train or interior, but it looks solid. Looks like someone started with the brakes, which is what you should do. PS/PFDB are a must on a car like this. If I owned a small business, I'd paint this and stick it out front while I worked on it. Originality goes out the window with a car like this. I'd find something in a junkyard for the drive train and interior and paint it. Super cool car.

67 Lemans convertible at $500 NR in Pennsylvania.

The 67 clone above isn't awful but again, how in the hell do you install grille emblems on the quarters FFS? Google image is your friend!! It's as bad as the 72 Judge clone for sale now with the grille emblem misplaced and the Judge decals mounted on the leading edge of the doors because they wouldn't fit the fenders because of the 72 fender scoops, and the 73 Lemans/GTO clone with Judge stripes and decals. Yes, Judge stripes and decals on a 73......

68 GTO with hideaways in CA at $29K BIN. Look super original.

Looks to be an all original Northern California car. Hot dry summers, mild winters. Easy restoration for someone.

The carb appears to be a replacement, ballast resistor on the firewall. Vacuum lines all over the place except where they belong. Temperature sensor not connected.
What else did you notice BVZ?
Tags are dated '92 so it's been awhile since registered.

[Baron Von Zeppelin]

All the improper and missing connections (wiring and vacuum) .
Some weird painted parts / bare parts.
Smells of a jacked transplant.

Minute details don't stick with me as well on some cars -
but shouldn't a 68 Automatic have a ported vac switch in front on the intake -
where this one is pipe plugged ?

HO would have the big RA exhaust manifolds , and I don't think they were rated at 370hp
Odd that PHS wasn't posted since it was stated to have it.

Potential to be a great car at a certain price , if the engine passes scrutiny.

[OG68]

I noticed all that too but wrote it off as modifications done over the years. They seller did mention that engine was rebuilt at one time but if the existing engine is proof of that, they left some parts off. A quick check of the VIN on the block and checking the exhaust manifolds would settle that question. And IIRC all 68 V8s had the ported vacuum switch. The automatics didn't have the de-acceleration vacuum valve mounted on the passenger rear intake manifold.
I also noticed the headliner hanging down and the cracked dash, split seat covers. Mine looked like that too after spending Summertimes in the Sacramento Valley. But I'd gladly do interior work as opposed to rust repairs.

67 GTO convertible clone at $45K BIN currently $30K with a reserve in AZ. Haters gonna hate, but this is a beautiful car and rust free.

67 Firebird in Oregon at $42K BIN. Nice car, except for that stupid sticker on the air cleaner. Odd no pics of the driver's side of the car?

69 Firebird in NY at $28K reserve not met. Has the eBay mandatory 69 T/A wing, a second gen T/A steering wheel, but the engine looks pretty stock, and no stickers, so there's that. Has a rebuilt 400 with a RAIV cam, so it runs like crap. The interior doesn't have headrests, which is sort of odd-looking for a 69, because most do have them.

70 242 GTO convertible restomod in BC Canada at an insane $109K BIN US. Has wonky Ram Air stickers on the hood, with a standard air cleaner. I never understood the target audience for poser Ram Air stickers, but these aren't even factory. Not worth anywhere close to the asking IMO. Nice looking car, but there's a lot of other cars I'd rather have than this one for the asking.
