    OZGS455 Oh what a wonderful day!

    Agree - Not a great marketing job (Pics, docs, or desc.). Other than color and the seemingly requisite vinyl top & remote mirror, appears to optioned like yours.

    No indication exc. "Easy Resto" (lolol) as to how patched up it is although the pics imply it's pretty rust free and the chrome does look pretty decent. Without that, very difficult to place a value but assuming it's as it appears $25-30k. Really would need a personal or surrogate inspection. Not the best season to sell and color isn't the most desirable (coming from someone who sold a double black '70 Stage 1 4-sp. to buy Sherwood Green/Green Vinyl top '70 Stage 1 4-sp. although there was a lot more to it than that).

    Would sure like to see it go the distance.

    I would love to take another GS apart and do a resto.
    Once you take one apart and put it all back together the second time around is fun.
    I just don't want to deal with any rust issues. I also would like to do another firebird 67-68 and paint it white with red interior and bitchin wheels with redline tires.

    At the very least, that much.

    The good thing is all the Stage 1 specific stuff is potentially intact, so that would eliminate both searching and shelling out ridiculous cash for parts you already have.

    Close, mine had a vynil top, & wasn't numbers matching. Price on this one needing restored is already close to what I sold mine for in '10....

    Or you could clean it up and drive as is.

    50-60 k if a shop did the work is that what is being talked about or an average joe:cool: doing the work.
    I need to go back on the eBay ad and see the pics and info again I just ran through it quickly on the phone.

    Are you kidding me Frank? Yours is gone, and you've never seen one? I have a small stash of those, but I'm not sure if I want to sell one of them.

    Looks like there's a vacuum line going to the carburetor

    It's a power fuel supply bowl for all that power these 455's got

    I've never seen that.

    Has anyone tried reaching out to the seller for more info?

    Ok...another hint...it's not fuel related.

    It leads to the ported vacuum on the carb, I can tell that much.
