Not one picture of the engine. I'm going to go out on a limb and say it's not a real HO.
Just someone who thinks a 400 hood means Ram Air or HO...
And whoever butchered that body and trim for that hideous tonneau cover should be strung up!

It's on ebay now, not an HO, but owner claims special built (ugly conv. cover). Would like to see some pix of engine, too!

Still no pictures of engine. No grille bars. Grill painted all wrong... Ad states "all original".
Tops never came that color. Those snaps over the tops of the doors have got to hurt elbows when cruising with your arm resting on the doors.
Guy seems to like his plaques too...

I just bought this, looking forward to it's delivery. Agreed on snaps but not a deal breaker for the price. Ran the vin through PHS before purchase to verify it.

Welcome to the site! I like the Verdoro green- is it a true 400HO, or a 400?
Cant wait for summer...

Standard 400, this is the info from PHS
Firebird 400
hydra-matic
radio pushbutton, manual antenna / in the ebay pics it has a am/fm. I'll wait to see window sticker.
seat belts
rally II wheels
console
dual exhaust
power steering
power brakes
soft ray glass -all
power top
custom air conditioning
f70x14 white wide oval
verdoro green
gold top
gold custom interior
2.56 axle
I think there are somethings not on phs paperwork, so i'm looking forward to window sticker. Such as fm radio, deluxe steering wheel , spare etc.
Other than anything it needs I want to change axle ratio to 3.08 and add front disk brakes if it doesn't already have them.
I post better pics when it gets here. Maybe i'm wrong but I thought that was less than it would go for price wise.

Nice wheels. The top looks pretty cool. Not stock but must look cool going down the freeway!
Might buy your 2.56 rear end one day if you sell it. I will keep a look out for a 3:08 for yah!
