96 Firebird IROC at $157K (YIKES!) in Texas. OK, so this is a race car. Has a 4-speed stick, a 350 Chevy engine with a 750CFM carb rated at approx. 500HP. What do you do with this car for that much money? Other than a museum, or in Jay Lenno's garage, who would pay half that for this? For the record, my 2010 Camaro SS has 426 HP and six speed. Also has AC, air bags and gets 19 MPG if I baby it. I would think if you wanted a 1/4 mile racecar, there would be a lot of better options.

68 Firebird convertible at $35K BIN in Ohio. FDB which is cool. The tires are too wide IMO and would throw up a rock at 75 MPH. Decisions were made that I wouldn't make, but good bones on this one.

Somebody with a white SUV is looking for those wheels and tires. Get rid of those and that car has good potential I think.

Super fishy 67 Firebird in Alvin Texas at $11K NR. Seller has 0 feedback, but sometimes people are put in a position to sell a car and that's why there's zero. I wouldn't bid on this unless I drove over and saw it in person. If it is legit, you may get lucky, because others smell the same fish. No engine pics.

Interesting car... 72 GTO 4-speed 455HO with Ram Air. Engine is correct, but the block and 4 speed are not NM. Interesting color, but the jury is still out on the side stripes for me. One of 310 if you believe the ad. $39.5K BIN in Wisconsin.

I like that '72. A lady in the neighborhood when I was in my teens had a LeMans Sport that was a twin that one only it was a convertible.

68 Firebird convertible restomod Gateway car in Tennessee at $59K BIN. Seats look like real leather and has digital gauges. Not sure I've mentioned this before, but I'm a big fan of idiot lights. You notice that red light immediately when it comes on, while you may not notice a temperature change until steam in coming out from under the hood. This is a nice car, and if you prefer restomods over stock cars, you'll like this one. If factory stock cars are your thing, you may not. Whoever has $50K+ to spend on a car makes that decision. Has #48 RAIII heads, so at least it's a Pontiac engine. Also has the eBay required "400-4" sticker on the air cleaner, because apparently, that's a thing.

Bid... then go pick up in person. If the car isn't what he says it is.... walk.. I wouldn't give the guy a nickel until I see the car.

Never thought I would see a base 6 that I would desire but that color pops.
Says interior is mostly original and it looks it.Price seems a little tilted but who knows.

This is a nice car and has run a few times, so maybe an offer could get the seller to budge?

Here's something you see constantly... a 70 GTO (Pepper?) green convertible Judge tribute that's not a tribute, because it's a real GTO at $75K BIN in NC. (insert broken record here regarding poser Judges based on real GTO's). I do like this color green, but this is overpriced IMO.

1/2 that would be too much - lack of detail, ie. cheap exhaust

Not sure what you'd do with this one, but it's not priced very high. 81 Firebird V6 with 49K original miles and original paint at $10K NR in Illinois.
