Having only 67 miles on it, I'm not. What else can you buy for 17k out there? A Kia? Much rather buy and have the Firebird and drive it for the next 10 years.

Who in their right mind spends that kind of money on those cars...The 92's are nice but for 30 big ones each you have choices.....

Yea you could get a hell of a nice TTA for that much money, for the amount paid for both of those convertibles could pay for two TTAs or a firehawk easily. And real nice ones as well. For 60 K i could have paid off my student loans and bought me either a first gen viper, tta, or C4 ZR1 Vette and still had some leftover.....

In many ways I feel that Barrett Jackson is a prime example of what's wrong in the world. 2/3rds of the bidders aren't car guys at all.
