Value for a 1968 Firebird 400 H.O.
Short answer: $17,000+ was considered high for any non-Ram-Air 400 H.O. coupe, even a strong #2 car. The 1968 400 H.O. (and 1969 400 H.O./RA III) bring only modest premiums over a standard 400 — the H.O. added Long Branch manifolds and the 068 performance cam/carb (4-speed only), so the auto H.O. cars are close to a standard 400.
