I really like that color combo on a convertible. Curious if it has the original carb/dist. I really liked the one @exhaust plus had for sale awhile back. Not a Stage 1 but had buckets/console & all the options.

 

Oh, better play the lottery later. Would fit neatly next to my 70 GS350.

 

I'm not a fan of the colors myself

 

Did I miss the asking price?

 

I posted a link to the actual dealer selling the car in the first post. It's $98,500.

 

Lol.

 

Probably pickup a much nicer 455 car in better colors for 1/2 that .

 

All the options but the most important one?

 

Other than a '71-2 convertible or a bench seat 4-sp.

 

Seeing all these bench seat column shift cars makes me think I should go ahead with my project car. Then I remember it's a bamboo cream, NOM, automatic car. But it does have buckets.

 

How bad is it? I have 2 projects I'll be upside down on. Still better $ spent than membership @ a country club or going to the bar.

 

I’m already upside down on my two ‘68 Firebirds, learned my lesson there, unless I repeat it.

It is in okay shape, got it here off the board some time back. Or maybe it was the Pontiac board. Floors, trunk are solid but needs a quarter and a fender. I have factory metal or NOS stuff to replace it. Really, the only part I’m missing is the bottom section of the back seat.

I really need to figure out what I’m trying to do. Save an old car or own something collectible/noteworthy. I lean to the latter lately, was more in to saving older cars a few years back.

 

Don't care for the color combo or bench seat and column shift but wouldn't kick it out of my garage after all it is a Stage 1 ragtop.
