They made Gold SE (Y88 I think?)
Would need the PHS probably to tell for sure. Looks good, not all original though.

There is a 79 TA 10th Ann with 13 miles predicted to bring 200-250k
That should be interesting to see the outcome. It has a couple or few odd things about it. In my thoughts I don't see it going anywhere near those numbers , but they shill stuff like this up towards the reserve so we really never know where the real money stops. Unless it does sell The 68 BlackBird did about what I expected. The 70 TA Auto/AC was no surprise if it was very correct and very professional quality. They are 6 figure cars now with the right combo's and right quality. |

I'm not saying it's a bad car at all, just not the most faithful restoration. Maybe it had some sentimental value to the buyer.

The pinstripes don't look correct for a Y88 but they may have just missed that during the resto.

I DVR'd this broadcast and just got around to watching the Pontiac segment.
I see a Buccaneer Red '74 SD go for $95k. A beautiful Admiralty Blue over parchment SD went for $90k...and a '76 TA 4spd brings over $130k? The '76 was a beauty but.... worth more than a Super Duty? Not in my world. I loved the blue one.

Dang...trying to find it on MotorTrend but they only have last year's...was it worth a watch anyway?
I wonder if SD's will start to come down out of the sky?

There was another Blue 74 SD with 4spd - that only went for 66k - and was a full resto.
Seems like that car has made some appearances before and has a conflicting issue - but I can't remember the facts about it . And they rarely reveal stuff like that in the listings. The ultra low mile 79 TA-TA 4spd predicted to as much as 200-250k is listed as reserve not met at 100k.. The wallflower White 69 GTO Convertible RamIV Auto on column with hubcaps didn't do well and didn't meet reserve. That car was restored by a newer forum member , I believe from Canada. The MatadorRed 69 GTO Convertible RamIV Auto did extremely well. It has went up the last 3 times it has sold . Which surprises me a little bit. Its very very nice with all respect. It won't happen on the 73's in our lifetime. But probably shortly after our lifetimes they probably will. Last edited by Baron Von Zeppelin; 01-25-2024 at 06:33 PM. |

The 68 BlackBird RamOne 4spd would have been my pick of them all.
But I have some partiality towards certain 68 Birds with the right stuff or right color combos. |

There is a Really Sweet 73 SD Automatic AC fixing to sell at B-J Arizona auction
White with White Deluxe , Blue decals , Honeycombs. My first choice combo all around |

I really liked that '71 LeMans Sport convertible also. The one ordered by a priest instead of the GTO that he was denied permission to buy by his superiors. Ordered it optioned like a fully loaded 455HO GTO. Nice car.

It’s on the FYI channel, except for a few hours on Saturday, when it’s on the History channel.
