1968 California Sun-dried Raison

[1969z280]

I have signed a contract to take my entire collection to auction in the Fall. I'm offering my 1968 Firebird 400 4-Speed for sale here as I don't think it will be appreciated at the auction. It's an all original California Firebird. See the attached link:

Love the Ponchos Ed! My first car was a '68 Firebird 350, 4-speed. Any interior or engine shots to bring back old memories? http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggthumpup.gif

If you scroll through the attached link, there are some pictures of the interior and engine compartment on the third or fourth page. I like this one too! It won't bother me if it stays home. Ed http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/beers.gif

It was nice to meet you at the Bloomington Survivor Show and I appreciate your offer to display my 67 GTO Convertible at the MCACN but I announced at the show when Keith Martin interviewed me, that the car was being sold this Fall at Auction. Ed

[1969z280]

Price reduction to $20,000 before the auction.

Thanks, Ed 847.809.8022

I listed my 1968 Firebird on ebay. Thanks SYC http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/beers.gif Ed

ebay auction (http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/California-400-330-4-Speed-Survivor-Original-w-Docs_W0QQitemZ250496175277QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUS_Ca rs_Trucks?hash=item3a52bc4cad&_trksid=p4506.c0.m24 5)

That is one first-class quality survivor! I wish I had room for it in my garage... I sure hope it finds a good home. Good luck with the sale.

WOW THAT IS A GREAT BIRD GOOD LUCK WITH THE SALE. YOU KNW THE BIRDS HARDER TO FINSD THAN THE CAMAROS AND THIS SURE IS A NICE ONE WHO EVER BUYS THIS RIDES IS GETTIG A GREAT CAR

[1969z280]

Thanks guys! It's a really neat little piece and runs and drives great. I can't believe how many questions and calls that I've gotten on the car already. Firebirds seem to be picking up interest these days. I think they realize they can get a lot more car for the money than with a Camaro (price wise). Can you imagine what that car would be worth if it was a 68 Z/28 with all of the paperwork?

Everybody in the ebay world seems to dig it which surprises me quite a bit. There's 60 people with it on their watch lists. Thanks again for the comments, Ed

What did you set the reserve at?

I've added a number of photos to the ebay auction including the engine stamp, cylinder head casting and carburetor stamps. Thanks, Ed

[1969z280]

3 Days to go on the auction...bump.

Edman,

Wow - what a well written ad. Lots of big clear informative photos with a solid description. Nicely done. Best luck in getting what you need. Great car!!

Sam:

Thanks for the kind words. I try to show them the way they really are. The Firebird just made the Top 20 Most Watched in Ebay Motors (see the link) but, I've got a feeling she'll just stay home with me. It's fun to talk to all of the people interested in old Ponchos, Ed
