![]() Not for me, but it looks niceġ5) $25k spent in a stereo? Absolutely worthless. I like the vent windows, but isn't cohesive with the rest of what they've done.ġ4) I appreciate that green. If I had only the photo of the dash panel, I'd think the thing ran on the koku of Japanese peasants.ġ3) Oddness: all that modernization but retained the wing windows rather than modernizing to one-piece glass in the doors. Stay out of Virginia and the whole thing is moot but its not 50 state street legal.ġ1) I hate the gauges. If you're going to go that ridiculous on the build, that has to be a Nardi wheel.ġ0) The car is illegal to drive in might not be caught since the detector is currently immune to Spectre but that doesn't mean that it's impossible to catch. That's a good decision.Ħ) I like ghost stripes, but I don't like those ghost stripesħ) The interior looks nice but too much like a modern interior pulled out of another car and fit into a Mustang rather than a Mustang interior upgraded with modern influences, comforts, and amenities.Ĩ) The steering wheel is too thick. It makes it look like that's where it belongs and that the stock position is wrong. ![]() I don't know if it's the void in the wells or what, but the front end looks too bulky.ĥ) LOVE the movement of the fuel filler. To me, they look entirely wrong inside the front wells. If they're going to spend all that time fabricating parts that they don't need to fab, they could have at least gone for the extra level of detail and integrated the scoops.ģ) I hate those tires. What they did with the tail does not look goodĢ) The brake scoops look to be tacked on. The rear end would look bad *** with a Boss 9 inspired tail panel I'm somewhat partial to that idea though cuz that's what I'm doing with my '67. 9,239 firebird stock photos, 3D objects, vectors, and illustrations are available royalty-free. They wasted 200 grand and they're looking for a mark.ġ)they should have left the stock lights. They spent "thousands of hours" custom fabricating steel panels that didn't need to be fabricated because the parts were available in fiberglass. You can "invest" your time digging for a diamond mine in the middle of a Kansas field but you're just wasting your time. I understand it cost a lot of money to build a car like that but you know you can’t pull every penny back out of an overpriced build unless you find someone that has just too much money to spend and doesn’t care what price they pay.Īnd even then, the word "invested" is itself way overused. Someone might pay $70-$80K for that car, but $278,000 is just way too high. I have a feeling you’ll this see this car getting re-listed on the auction site for a long time with price drops each time it’s re-posted. I’d never consider spending that amount of cash on a coupe conversion, it would have to be a Shelby or a Boss 429 to spend anywhere near that kind of money. The engine is amazing also if you like newer power plants in old cars. I like the color and the interior looks very well done. The car sits a little loo low in the back for my taste. I too hate the tail lights, I cringe whenever I see that done to a Mustang, it’s not a mod I like, it’s looks goofy but well done. They left the stock nose, if I was going that far I would have put the 67 Shelby nose on it, but that’s just me. ![]() The split front bumper looks really nice and done well, reminds me of an early 70’s Camaro split front bumper. They didn’t make many of these and survivors are rare, I just hope it doesn’t end up as a “tribute” Trans Am or 400 HO car.The price is nuts, way too high but in my opinion it’s a very nice car. I wouldn’t pay more than 10K and expect to spend another 8 or 10k to get it reasonably sorted out, but I’ll bet someone comes along and pays close to asking eventually. Aside from the cheapo respray over what appears to be original pale yellow paint it doesn’t seem to be too badly molested. ![]() Designed as a pony car to compete with the Ford Mustang, it was introduced on February 23, 1967, five months after GMs Chevrolet divisions platform-sharing Camaro. Since it isn’t a bona fide muscle car, just a droptop pony car, it probably doesn’t matter much if the numbers match. The Pontiac Firebird is an American automobile built and produced by Pontiac from the 1967 to 2002 model years. This one looks salvageable, but I’d want to spend an afternoon with it up on hoist before committing. ![]() Once the tinworm bites these things it’s a losing battle, and half-assed crash damage repair from decades ago can cost more to set right than the car is worth. The key to determining the value is how much rust damage it has and if it’s ever been in a major accident. A lot like the ’68 Camaro SS396 shown here a few months back, except it’ll never be worth what that car could be. Well, I’ve been away from the market for cars like this a long time but this one looks about like a fair example would have ca. ![]()
