If you’re a huge fan, and you have beaucoup bucks, then you might consider buying these: Pontiac Firebird VIN #001 and #002. The 1967 muscle cars are right now for only a quarter million dollars plus roughly a new base V8 Camaro.

That’s the Buy It Now price; bids as of 6 P.M. on May 11 are up to $185,000, though that’s below the reserve. So if you want these two, you’ll have to shell out. And you can’t just buy one individually, as the cars are being sold as a pair, with the listing saying the vehicles have been together essentially since GM sold them over 50 years ago.

The first one is a red convertible with a 326 cubic-inch V8 mated to a three-speed automatic. It’s got power brakes and steering, as well as cruise control and a floor-mounted clock, the listing says.

As for VIN #002, it’s a silver four-speed manual coupe with a 326 high output motor, power brakes, power steering, a tilt column, and a hood-mounted tachometer.

You may recognize these cars from the show Fast N’ Loud, which follows the builds of a Dallas, Texas-based shop called Gas Monkey Garage. That team discovered the two cars in rather sad shape back in 2014, but restored them to apparent perfection. The cars were up for auction at , but the reserve wasn’t met.

So if you missed out then, now’s your chance.

These are listed as the first two productionFirebirds. There were undoubtedly some preproduction models built earlier.

At $33,000, Is This Supercharged 2008 Lincoln Mark LT a Super Bargain?
Today’s Mark LT is a gussied-up version of Ford’s best-selling F-150 pickup. All that extra luxury needs a motor to match, so it’s supercharged too. Let’s see if that makes it priced to move. The we looked at yesterday took its name from the Saab 37 Viggen short-range fighter...

At $7,500, Is This 1990 Toyota Century a Once in a Lifetime Deal?
Toyota named today’s contender the Century to honor the 100th birthday of founder Sakichi Toyoda in 1967. Let’s see how honorable this ex-pat limo’s price tag might be. I started my day last Friday the way I enjoy spending most of my Friday mornings — sipping on my cup...
