Not sure if we've seen this one before? 69 Firebird convertible NM 400 automatic in Goldenrod yellow at $57K in Indiana. A lot of power options on this car.

I don't know anything about Royal Bobcat, but the trunk paint is fairly abstract. Also has inner fenders painted red. Pretty sure that was a 67 GTO thing, but not a 68.

I love it but I guess I'm a little biased.

Interesting yellow car, that it has shoulder belts not mentioned, and in 93 photos there wasn't one picture that indicated a power seat. Driver seat is pitched back as though it may have that rather rare option.

I'm thinking it's some sort of dealer car, where they ordered all the options and put it on the lot. Yellow gets attention. I'd love to see the PHS docs.

69 GTO Restomod convertible with an LS3 in Texas at $130K. I give restomods a lot of grief and I'm not apologizing for that, because I like a stock car better. Here's a restomod that had a ton of expensive mechanical upgrades, and I appreciate that. Not to the tune of $130K, but it would be a very fun car to have. The 17 inch Rally II's work on this car. It has 4WDB and suspension upgrades. The console looks like crap with the prism tape near the shifter hole and I don't see shoulder harnesses (or does that race harness strap to the seat?), which is sort of mandatory if you're going to take an LS3 up to 120MPH+.

I agree on the power seat.
First Bird Vert I have seen with the shoulder belts.
If it had cruise control and was a different color I'd probably be going after it at that price.
That color works a lot better on a camaro than it does on a Bird. just my opinion

Loaded 400 Verts will bring tall cash with classy color combo

Close , but no cigar. ha
66-67 had optional red plastic liners that fit inside the steel wheel wells on the exterior front and rear.

442's had optional full front wheel wells in red plastic. (no steel - entirely plastic)
I think it was a weight saver idea/option by Olds

68 Firebird convertible in CA at $39K BIN. Other than a stock air cleaner, this car doesn't need much. It's worth the asking $$$$$ IMO... prolly more. Paint, interior, top, stuff... it adds up.

not feeling the "love" on that one.
Since when is a Cheby motor an upgrade?

Agreed.. don't care for it although the work appears well executed.

POA delete valve. It turns the compressor off and on depending on the freon pressure. I'm not a fan of them. You can feel the compressor kicking in, and out, while cruising down the road.

66 Pontiac Tempest wagon GTO tribute with added Ram Air. Tri-power and a 4 speed are cool. I'd take a slow stroll past this one at a show. $45K BIN and doesn't show location. Seller has feedback though. Too high IMO.

thanks Gary
I suspected it was something like what you describe.
My first thought was that clutch and compressor must be hammered.

69 242 GTO "Tribute" Judge in Iowa at $60K BIN. Remove the Judge stuff and it may be worth that if it's the original color.

Here's a cool car. 75 Trans AM 4 speed with all NM and 32K original miles at $49.5K BIN OBO in Texas. I would think that if you fixed the little things that are wrong with this car, like the valve covers, and brought it back to bone stock, you could maybe win a show or two with it. Seems on the cheap side.
