#1969 pontiac firebird manual#

This pretty Polo White 1953 Corvette is number 202 of only 300 examples built in the sports car’s first year of production and has covered only 6 miles (10 km) since a complete restoration. It’s muscle car royalty, but it couldn’t top $300k, let alone $400k.

This Sebring Silver ’63 is a multiple-time National Corvette Restorers Society (NCRS) winner and one of the most coveted C2 configurations, but it didn’t come close to matching the Trans Am’s $440k sale price. It’s a 1968 Shelby GT500KR, and one of only 518 convertible versions built for 1968, but it couldn’t get within $200k of the box-fresh Firebird.ġ963 Chevrolet Corvette Fuelie – $253,000Īnother C2, but this time a coupe with the one-year-only split rear window design and the top-performing 360 hp (365 PS) fuel-injected 327. This isn’t any old 54-year old car though. This Mustang’s 57,500-mile (92,500 km) odo reading is in taxi-cab territory compared with the Trans Am’s, but it’s still tiny by the standards of most 54-year old cars. Almost 3,800 C2s got the L71 motor that year, but there can’t be many survivors that have a mileage as low as this car’s 7,285 mile (11,700 km) odometer reading.ġ968 Shelby GT500KR Convertible – $236,500

The car was always yellow and again is registered as such although it was fully resprayed in 2011.

The car is reg first in uk in 1981, and show 10 owners, it is correctly registered as a 7555cc historic vehicle on the log book. So here we have my 1969 Pontiac Firebird 461 Stroker, this is a firebird 400 car originally, when i bought it, i did so as a 400, then when i finally checked engine number found it was a pontiac 350 inside, not happy i went out and bought a period pontiac 400 engine as non runner to fully build. Apologies this will be a lengthy advert but i am old school and believe in selling a car based on the good and the bad with as much info as possible
