I thought the 455HO Firebirds sold for more money than that; seems like a pretty good deal to me.

When I was in high school and working at a Chevron station one of the customers had one in a brown color like that. What a car [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/3gears.gif[/img] ...I helped with some performance upgrades and he would let me take it for a spin.

Always liked those &quot;birds&quot; [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/biggthumpup.gif[/img]

Nice sleeper look with a vinyl top and no spoilers.

Agreed. He's been trying to sell it for months,think the color and fact it's in Canada my be limiting factors. Very cool car in Poncho circles, hard to come by..

Is Canyon Copper the same color as the 1968 Camaro Corvette Bronze? In 68, the color, when shot on a Corvette, as called Copper Bronze.

Only reason I ask is that I have never seen a picture of a Corvette Bronze 68 that did it justice. They look spectacular in the sunlight in person.

Also, that top doesn't look &quot;dark brown&quot; to me. Perhaps it was changed.

I am a big fan of the Formula cars.

Canyon Copper was called Burnt Orange on 1971 Chevrolets, Bittersweet on 1971 Oldsmobiles, and Bittersweet Mist on 1971 Buicks.

I agree about why this car has been sitting. Second Generation Firebird fans are usually really turned off by vinyl tops on these cars, and copper/brown is not a popular color with Formula Firebird fans. Even with the rare 455 H.O. and 4-speed, it's one of those cars where the overall visual appeal is hurting the sale.

Here's a 71 Judge in Canyon Copper.
