I think the white is a way better car than the black and both are way over priced IMO.Tom

Ad for the white one says "flawless and correct in every detail".

I'm thinking the deep truck pan is a nice addition, but not correct?

The 'Blackbird' is a piece of Pontiac racing history. A fairly significant car. If I had a cool million laying around that is the one I would go after.

I'd like the white one better if it were a 4 speed. Don't want to pay the kind of money he wants for it with the original engine long gone either. But you can bet the restoration is top notch if Scott Tiemann did it, and was most certainly in the 6 figure range for that alone.

There are other highly collectable muscle cars out there in this price range I'd want to buy first before I'd consider this one. Sorry Pontiac lovers, but this one isn't high on my list.
