70 Firebird Esprit with a 400 and a 12 bolt which he claims is factory... I think not. $9500 NR in SC.

I think that all 400 powered 1970 Firebirds got the 12 bolt.

It was an option on the Esprit... pretty rare, though.
And the 12-bolt came along with the 400 option.

I wonder what the original exterior color on this one was? I doubt it would have been black, but would love to see the PHS.

Red interiors weren't too common on '70s, either...

If you look at the interior photos it appears the Esprit was originally red inside and out.

This one is a bit pricey at BIN $29K in Ohio, but damn it's a cool car. 69 Lemans 4-speed in Limelight green with a green top and a 350.

Ah, right - good eye. Cheesy re-spray then.

That Ventura is interesting. Especially at the price it's at now. I checked their videos out and the engine seems to run really good.

Agreed...pretty cool car. I'm guessing it won't sell for $1600 though.

Yeah, I'm guessing in the $4K~$5K range.

Already up to $3550 with 5 days left. Will be interesting to see how high it goes. Shame it deteriorated from the resto.

If all this stuff is true about the 74 Ventura I'm guessing it's well worth $6500 in parts.

81 T/A in NM at $8K NR. Seems like a nice daily driver with no rust.

Here's an interesting car. 70 GTO Judge at BIN $72.5K. Red/Red with a frame off, you couldn't build this car cheaper starting with a very solid unrestored car. While all the stickers N'such make this like factory new, not driving it would kill me. I love red and this is an awesome car.
