37.1`69 Firebird 350TOOK::COMUZZIThe better the four-wheel drive, the further out you get stuck.Tue Jul 09 1991 23:5124
    I'm being forced (by my wife) to sell my `69 Firebird (I at least get
    to keep the `71 for a while longer). The car has been off the road in N.J.
    since `82, though it was still driving then. It has some rust, and would
    need restoration, but it's basically all there. (No - the number's don't
    match, the car has been re-engined with what it originally had - a 350 and
    I believe the left front fender has been replaced.) The interior is not
    perfect - there's a broken panel on the shifter, the parking brake release
    is broken, etc. It has an automatic transmission.

    The question - and I realize this this is a non-trivial one, is how do I
    get a handle on a fair price. I get SMOKE SIGNALS (The Pontiac-Oakland
    Club rag) and have some idea from the ad's in there, but clearly, those
    are just asking prices. Does anyone want to share their experiances with
    how much below those numbers people actually pay? Is it worth getting the
    car appraised? My gut tells me that selling it into POCI (or through other
    similar media like this notesfile) will take a while, but yield a higher
    price - Is my intuition correct?

    I don't have to sell it immediately, but my parents are planning to sell
    the house it's stored at - and Kate has made it clear that it is NOT
    coming to Massachusetts.

    Hmmm, have you considered just selling your wife, and keeping the car?

    	Got a buddy trying to unload a  '69 TRANS AM  if anybody is
    	interested.  It's got a 400 Auto in it.  The original block
    	blew up so it doesn't have the original but most of the parts
    	are off of the original; also, someone has swiped the ram-air
    	pans.  He's looking for around $7500.

	This car has 72,000 miles on it and runs and looks excellent.
	It has recent tires, brakes and exhaust system.  I am asking 
	new lower price of 6,250 or best offer.  Please send mail

37.11'71 part mine price reducedTUXEDO::COMUZZIThe better the four-wheel drive, the further out you get stuck.Wed Jan 05 1994 15:0825
    Well, I'm droping the price on my `71 Firebird.

    The bad news: It has severe rust on the rear quarter panels. It has
    spots of rust on the hood and doors and a dent on the right front
    fender. There's some rips in the ceiling cloth and the seats are fairly
    worn. It has  a slow cooling system leak, I think near the water pump.
    The A/C is  broken. The numbers don't match, the front fenders have
    been replaced and the engine was replaced, the engine has about 90K
    miles on it, the frame 178K.

    The good news: There's a veritable gold mine of parts! The console is
    completely there as are various other detail parts. The engine and
    power train are mechanically sound. The frame is good. It's has a 350
    with automatic transmission.
    
    I'm selling it because I just don't have the time to play with it
    anymore. My wife doesn't want a car we can't trust, so she just bought
    a `94 Honda Accord. This gives us 3 cars with 2 drivers, so...
    I'm asking $750.00 in printed ads, if you're interested:
