OK, you made me go and research some more.



All LS1 (V8) and Y87 (V6) Firebirds received a Zexel/Torsen II slip-reduction rear axle. So it is 'included' basically with the G80 AXLE,REAR,POSITRACTION,LIMITED SLIP POSITRACTION L/SLIP R/AXLE option.



Also looks like it is not in that registry in your link.

I like that '69...could be a nice car, especially if it's a 400 car.
P.S. - That has to be the fattest dog I've ever seen. Looks like two dogs in a one dog suit.

Are there PHS docs with this car? Why no pics of the engine?

I've seen some funky screaming chickens in my day, but there's something about this one I just can't put my finger on. The monster truck whale tail sorta completes all the bad ideas that went into this 79 Firebird. Has a reserve, but could be brought back by changing a lot of things. The straight pipes would prolly cause your neighbors to hate you, but I guess in 1983 they were cool.

This 1988 Firebird claims to have over $45K invested with a starting bid of $9500. I guess if you have unlimited funds and then things change, maybe this is the first thing you'd get rid of. Prolly fun to drive. I think the funny thing about it is it states the AC needs to be hooked up. Located in Maryland and comes with a pine tree air freshener.

69 GTO Judge 4-speed (4 options) with no reserve currently sitting at $6100. Claims to have the NM drivetrain, but it looks kinda Frankensteinish with replacement fenders/hood. I suspect there's a lot of rust to deal with, but at no reserve it'll be the right price for someone. Located in Illinois.

69 Firebird 400 auto convert. This is a NM California car and I wish my Firebirds had quarters like this one. I don't think the value of car with zero rust is considered by some, but this looks like a very solid car. Currently $10.6K with a reserve so I'm not sure if it's a good deal. I never realized you had to shift into gear to get an 8-track tape in the player, as it wouldn't fit in park.

I had to laugh at this one - somebody doesn't proofread his listings....

68 400 (supposedly) hardtop. Seems very reasonable at $7K Buy-It-Now. $4K in parts located in CA.

Fat dog 400 69 Firebird is back with a $8000 reserve. With the YT engine now pictured it looks to be a real 400 HT auto car. Nevada cars don't rust, so this one could be a real gem. Crushed blue velour interior makes it scream ick, but at $8K this is a good deal IMO.

79 TA with no reserve. Unlike some NR auctions, this looks to be legit as it's been listed before. Looks like a rusty McCrusty, but it could be cheap/ Located in NY. Currently $1600.
