How about a 69 4-door LTD? I wasn't scratching my head until I read the last part of the ad.

"This is the police car from Smokey and the Bandit" ??????????

There were some Dodges also with Shaker Scoops added to the hoods, but yes most were Pontiac's

That's what I'm thinking.
So, he calls it a barn find and knows approximately how many miles are on the 460 rebuild. BTW, that's alot of miles to add to the car's life after the original engine wore out. I wouldn't expect it could be in cream puff shape.
It looks just like something that would typically be destroyed in a CHiPs freeway scene. For that, I would call it a survivor.

Never seen that kit before. It's actually pretty well done. There are hints of a '70 Torino, a '71 Mustang, some B and E body Mopar, with a little Aussie Falcon thrown in.

If it had a 429 in it (the 460 wasn't available in a 1969 LTD) it would be more interesting.

A kit to make your firebird look like an AMC?

I think that's actually a pretty nice looking custom. Very nice in fact. Maybe a little better looking than the original car in my opinion.

Don't know what the longevity record of those hemis are either. Maybe they're a 200K mile engine, maybe they're a time bomb after 150K....

I wonder...why would someone have the name of a true crime show about homicides embroidered on the headrests? Excellent show by the way.. https://www.aetv.com/shows/the-first-48/about

I really dig that custom Firebird- come mes with the molds- do you think it’s a one off? Looks like something out of a video game

I thought Shelby, and DeLorean. I like it, not $45,000.00 like, though.

So after all of that work, the Firebird car still needs a stick to hold the hood up.

It would be cool yo know the back story on that car. Imagine if it was easy to make the panels- build modern pro touring style cars on 3rd gen bodies? Pretty cool idea. Modern-ish ac, handling and fuel injection.
