I never noticed the low fuel alarm. Pretty interesting. This is what the back looks like.

That round thing on the back is the low fuel light. If adding the option you will need the cluster (printed circuit board is critical since no one repops it), the buzzer that mounts to the fuse box and a harness that connects them.

79 Trans AM rolling body (no front clip) in Illinois at $2500 NR. Body looks to be in good shape, and it's a WS6 car with the rims, but the ad states the rims are not included? .

Most of them don’t work properly in that the mechanism on the speedo causes physical resistance somehow so as your actual speed approaches the set speed the speed needle doesn’t want to go higher .

69 GTO Judge in Pennsylvania at $75K BIN. Cool car, but the engine is NOM and it has a Tremec 5-speed.

Could be a nice car! California build and life, pattern car but that 4 wheel drive look just kills me!

73 Firebird 4=speed 400 cloned into a Trans AM at NR $18K in Michigan. Says it has a 71 GTO 455 engine. It has #66 heads, so prolly not.

That Bird/TA has a lot going for it. Could really be made nice.
The engine "could" be from a 71 GTO
Could also be from a Formula GP or Bonneville.
YC with 66 heads was available in a lot of 71 cars .

What's left of a 69 GTO in Florida at $4K BIN. Not sure why anyone would want this? The Rally II's are nice, so there's that.

71 Firebird in Louisana at $29K BIN. This would have been the cat's pajamas in 1979, but I'm not sure what I'd do with a car like this? It's mostly a race car, tho I would think you could take it to the grocery store.

80 Trans AM turbo pace car in Florida at $25K BIN with 31K miles. That's cheap for this car. Really sharp.

Triple white 68 Firebird convertible 4 speed with 128K miles in Denver at $36K BIN. That's a good price for this car IMO. The interior checks a lot of boxes for me. It looks like the only thing that needs to be replaced are the front seats (or is it just a cover?). Steering wheel looks awesome too.

69 GTO clone shell in CA at $7500 BIN. Really nice looking body. Not fixing rust saves a lot of time and money.
