I'm kind of shocked you'd consider doing that. Wouldn't the "actual" mileage be in question if it was out of the car? My 69 Firebird 350HO convertible 4-speed has about 55K original miles. I bought a set of the "Speed minder" gauges for it, just because it's an extremely rare option. If I installed them, even with the original idiot light gauges, the originality of the mileage may be questioned, so I sold them this year. I do have an original set of stacked gauges with the original PCB dated 1969 for it, and if I install those no one is going to care that the originality is in question. Through all my travels combing junkyards in the mid 80's and car shows, I've only seen one set of original stacked gauges, and it was in a Ram Air car. I realize the gauges you guys are talking about look cool, but in a SD car?

Speaking of idiot lights, they rock. How often do you really watch the gauges to monitor the engine? If you do get caught up in driving and not check them for a bit, they'll let you know something need attention NOW! You typically have dial gauges too, so one vote for idiot lights.

72 GTO 4-speed in Arkansas at $55K. Steep price at $4.6K on the PHS. Has Ram Air, but unsure if that's a factory option?

RamAir is an add-on
But would have the expensive 15" R2 wheels like a TA with the Y99 Handling option.
And extra fat sway bars.
Cool car and looks good .

68 GTO convertible 4-speed with a WT block in Massachusetts at $1K with a reserve. Who's gonna save me?

I don't think John Wayne was even brave enough for that rescue.
Car would have to be free with free shipping and a 10k Ames gift card.

67 Firebird 400 4-speed parked since 1971 at $20K BIN in Minnesota. Poor pics with none of the engine.

I've been eyeballing this $20,000 '67 Firebird 400. I hope someone else buys it so I don't have too.

Wow at that half clear steering wheel being in good shape.
Very neat survivor overall.

Good catch. A beautiful stock steering wheel makes a stock interior so much nicer than those fat wood wheels. I'm in the minority and I know that, but FWIW I love me a stock steering wheel and this one is sweet. Stock black ball shifter is the jam and looks awesome. Those BB shift knobs fetch a lot on eBay.



You can kind of see the engine in this pic. Love the side wing windows.

I am also in the minority that prefers the stock steering wheels. I like the nice original 67 wheel in my FB. This is the best picture I have on my HD of it.

In addition to that clear rim steering wheel, it's also still wearing its original CA-only air pump. I didn't expect to see that, with those fat wheels on the back. Neat car.

I really like this one. Have you seen it in the flesh?

An entry to the options I love the least is on display with the wheel covers on this 1971 Luxury Lemans in CA at $2K with a reserve. It looks fat. Phat? uh... Good base for 70 GTO clone. The interior is a bench, but very nice. Fake wood steering wheel actually looks cool to me. Wonder what the standard options were on a Luxury model? I know nothing about them.

68 Firebird in Oregon at $41K. Sharp looking car. If you like wood steering wheels, this would be a wise choice.

69 GTO HO in SC at $7500 NR. Rode hard and put up wet, but it is a Ram Air car and will probably sell for more than the asking in its current condition just for the MN drivetrain. Green with a gold interior was probably stunning when new. No interior pics?

Original engine and tranny long gone it says.
Some type of engine in it .... shows axle code but no engine codes.
Claims RA exhaust manfs but the one shown appears standard.

Anything over $2000 for that heap is a generous blessing

Good catch. Probably why they didn't post pics of the engine bay.

My 67 with the solid color blue wheel is a very late production car (also a Deluxe interior car), 2nd week of June 1967. So it would seem early production Deluxe interior would get the 1/2 clear wheel?

67 Firebird in Indiana at $33K. Pretty sure we've seen this one before, bit when they don't sell and cycle through in time, the seller will probably be more motivated. Anytime rust repair is mentioned in the ad, it makes you question who did the job and whether or not it's extensive enough. Both of my 69 Firebird convertibles need quarter panels, but not much rust in other parts of the car.
