Re: Wrecked 1970 TA on ebay
 

The Firebird people have been begging, screaming, pleading for years for someone to reproduce the 70-73 Firebird steel tail panel (which includes the rear valance as one big piece).

The ridiculous response you get from the aftermarket is this:

"Well, we make the one for the 74 to 81 cars and it doesn't sell too well, so were not going to do the 70-73 panel."

That is the stupidest reasoning I have ever heard. The 70-73 cars are the ones that people are restoring. They are the cars that are worth the most and are restored far more frequently than the later model cars but these guys just dont get it.

It's like saying you wont make 69 Camaro quarters because the 1992 quarters you make dont sell so well. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/no.gif

Here's the one they make for the 74 and up:

I like this line:

"guaranteed to be maybe 1 of 10 known that are this original"

Talk abount an uncertain statement!!

After Steve's https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/scholar.gif rant, 27 bidders are retracting their bids! https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/haha.gif

Thanks for that info https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...iggthumpup.gif

Oh yeah, that was my ulterior motive: to get everyone else to drop out so I can get it cheap! https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/haha.gif

Re: Wrecked 1970 TA on ebay
 

Steve, I am amazed at the amount of work and attention to detail you have put in your car. You have also been honest about the cost.

I can not see this car being restored at all, it just does not make any sense. No glass, no floors, no sheet metal??
Someone is bidding on the scoop, drive train and tags.

Re: Wrecked 1970 TA on ebay
 

I didn't think it was possible, but this white one makes the blue one look semi-restorable!

Here's another delusional seller who thinks this is an easy restoration of a super rare car.

I love his statement: "WE ALL NO WHAT THESES CARS ARE WORTH SO PLEASE NO LOW BALLERS" https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...s/rolleyes.gif

Steve, he listed the carb #, is it the correct carb?

7040273 is 1970 Pontiac Ram Air s/t carburetor

Re: Wrecked 1970 TA on ebay
 

Hey guys, seller stated in his last notes the carb number is 7040273 and rearend is COZ. Also says he has PHS documents in hand but doesn't know if there's a code on the sheet for transmission type. Does anyone know if a code exist on the PHS info that breaks down trans type, 20 vs. 21? Also, is 7040273 the correct carb?

Steve:

Could you post a couple of pictures of the 1970 flat top radiator support and fender construction. Or point towards them. With all of this talk I've started to look at my 1970 T/A with a little more concern. Thanks, Ed
