As for the price on that one....I wonder how he justifies pricing it several thousand dollars above the reference he posted in his own ad?..and that's the very highest valued Firebird 400 in top condition.
He doesn't really want to sell it. He's fishing for a trade or ridiculous offer.

I'm with ya on those wheels!


The listing states "No detail missed".

Maybe I'm being too critical, but, on the side bar of details the car is listed as a "1966 Pontiac HTO" and body type as a "van"

Pontiac Catalina 2+2 - $4500
1966 Pontiac Catalina 2+2 parts car. Vehicle is complete with 4 speed transmission. 421 engine is gone. Looks to have a 350 or 400 engine
Look at the huge felony hole in the trunk. You could throw any size of booze, narcotics or body out that hole! bt

Not really epic, but different. Didn't know trucks like this existed on the east coast.

I'm thinking if that was a 55 Chevy it'd be hard to touch for under 5k.

I'll play the devil's advocate here and say when's the last time you saw a '69 Camaro with it's original 307, not to mention the dog dish wheels still with the car.
