Color code 11 is Cameo White by the way. Those cars look good in either color.

Good catch on it being white. I agree this would take lot to finish. If I was retired I'd have time and it would give me something to do, but the ease would depend on how it was taken apart. If the bolts are all in baggie and labeled that's much better than one bucket of bolts. Here's a pic of a white 71 Barrett Jackson car:

That car isn't my cup of tea, but someone definitely invested time in modifying the metal to achieve a margin between the front bumper and hood/fenders that's way tighter than the factory ever made them.

73 GTO with a 455 frame off restored at $20K NR in Florida. Not for everyone, but a frame off is a ton of work and money. Sharp car. Note the cost of the 455 upgrade... $44.

I don't understand sellers these days. Messaged seller back and forth a couple times. He stated that the engine smoked. Made an offer.. seller countered. Messaged him my number twice and requested his number once as I wanted to speak to him before committing to his counter offer. ..... crickets.....

I’ve noticed the same. They barely reply online and it’s like pulling teeth trying to get sellers to have a phone conversation with you. They just want you to fork out the money no questions asked.

If it smells like rat, prolly is one. If someone is teasing a car in the hopes they'll get the maximum for it, my guess is that's what they're strategy is. If they don't need to sell it quickly and they get a few inputs, they may be content with just waiting for a full price offer. If yer gonna shell out big bucks, it may be worth flying out to see it in person. Three of my cars I currently own were bought sight unseen off eBay. All three worked out and were what they were advertised to be, so maybe I got lucky? I didn't pay a lot for them though... 69 Firebird convert for $6500 and 75 Trans Am for $3600 over ten years ago. The 80 T/A I bought for $5K four years ago the guy towed it to me from Utah before getting paid.

Every once in awhile once of these cars pops up with more questions than answers. 67 Firebird 400 convertible t $10.5K BIN in Missouri with few pics. Nicely optioned auto car. Wonder what the original colors were?

Linden Green or Champagne would be my guess from the look of the cowl paint.
Nice options.

If it was Champagne it would be the cat's pajamas. In 1969, since Pontiac didn't publish the stats, less than 1% of 69 Camaros were Champagne. Green was very popular in 67-68, which would also be awesome... extremely awesome.

68 Firebird 400 Gateway car in Florida at $59K BIN. Really sharp car with PS/PFDB/PW/AC. This is a CA black/yellow plate CA car, so there's probably no rust. Interior looks awesome and the engine has an Edelbrock intake and aftermarket air cleaner. At the very minimum the intake should be painted and a correct air cleaner installed.

My guess would have been April Gold

[Greg Reid]

Definite possibility.

sharp car but the "salvage" title puts me in a pause mode.
I dont think insurance companies will add collision and comp if its branded.

That's a pretty '73.. We have a photo (somewhere) of a LeMans GT that my wife had in that same color with the same stripe. It was her first new car. It's been a lot of years since I've run across that photo but it seems to me her's may have had a maroon vinyl top.

Agreed it is a nice looking car, and the stripe complements the body instead of overpowering it. Sort of odd to me the 73 GTO went away from the endura nose, since the 73 Firebird kept it. Regarding the salvaged title, my 75 T/A has a salvaged title. The car was someone's baby and it got stolen. When it was recovered, there was a dent in the side and they pulled the engine (had an Olds engine when I bought it). A car can be labeled "salvaged" for lot of reasons. The fact that this car was frame off would clearly lessen the fear of hidden damage. Car is at $27K now.

66 GTO in Massachusetts at $12.1K NR. Ad states it suffered "minor" front end damage... methinks not. Sadly, the owner passed and this is an estate sale that comes with a lot of NOS parts.

That '66 is interesting. Originally came with a white top. It looks really good outside of the front end.
