I think it's a little pricy though.

There was a thread way back in 2009 about the car. It was on E-Bay, never sold, very low bids. Then the thread was resurrected in March 2011 when it popped back up on E-Bay, and it sold for around $15K. Looks like the seller turned right around and is trying to sell it for $80K now, but no takers.

There's also a more recent thread in the 67-69 Firebird section.

The biggest problem is that the car is not very well known. It was only in a couple scenes in the original TV show, and even then you had to be looking for it to find it. It was never seen on camera in its entirety, there were no episodes where the car was the focal point, and the actors never referenced it. The car never made the rounds at auto shows, and until just recently, no one was even aware that there was a custom Firebird used in the old "I Dream Of Jeannie" show.

It's a tough sell.
