Clearing out dear old dad's lifetime treasures. This is just one of the nine treasures I'm releasing soon of vintage vehicles. Hoping to get some insight on a starting price point for this classic beauty. Has all parts yes some rust around the fenders but really not an issue. Please let me know people your thoughts or interest on this classic.
Your 69 appears to be a 400 car. Love the blue on white colors. Appears to have: PW, tilt, 400 hood, 400 engine, 400 badging on hood, 400 chrome valve covers, The engine bay looks very good all be it dusty. Looks to have most of the stock parts. I don't recognize the accessory installed by the master brake. I thought maybe cruise but the wiring look odd. Can't see lower area of the rear quarters, doors and fenders. Expect some rust but other than that, it's not too bad. Top maybe fixable Front seats need recovering. Console dusty Assume it has a TH400 3sp auto I'm going out on a limb and bet the body is in above average condition. They did not make many Firebird verts in 67, 68 or 69'. Could this be a 400HO, RAIII?
This one is a buy. Have to get PHS docs to confirm the value.

Looks like it may be missing a bracket for the cruise control or is the picture just at funky angle? Or just my old eyes deceiving me?

Is that a pic of an engine with cruise? Then 68 must be different because I have the 68 version and it don;t look like that.
It is a ‘67 with cruise as documented by PHS. Was at POCI convention a couple years ago.

It has the 350 front clip as I don't see the mounting holes for the arrowhead on the chrome bumper and also don't see the chrome surrounds that are on a 400 car's plastic grills.
Seems like it will be money well spent. Looks like the front has had some grill work done. You can see one extra grill side in the backseat pic of the interior. Curious what an appraiser has to say.
