Is now a good time for you to take on a classic car restoration project?
A 1969 Pontiac Firebird currently located in Las Vegas has hit the online auction block. While the vehicle remains not road-worthy, the engine starts and the car can move short distances.
Why it matters
For collectors and hobbyists, the listing offers a project car with its original California paint and a complete interior. Whether the car actually changes hands depends on the seller's undisclosed reserve price being met by the end of the month.
The 1969 Firebird has received 15 bids so far in its eBay auction, with the current top price sitting at $7.10. It remains unclear if this figure will reach the seller's minimum reserve price.

The details
The 57-year-old classic features a Pontiac 350 engine and has retained its original California paint. Although the engine can be fired up to move the car forward and backward, it is not currently legal or safe for road use. Prospective buyers should be aware that the car will require specialized transportation services to be moved from its current Las Vegas location.

Beyond the Strip
This 1969 model reflects an earlier era of automotive design compared to the 1979 peak that saw 117,000 Trans Am units produced. The auction highlights the continued interest in restoring classic American iron within the Las Vegas Valley.
If you are interested in placing a bid, remember that you will need to arrange for professional transport to move the car since it is not road-worthy. Keep in mind that the current high bid is just a starting point and the owner has not disclosed the reserve price.
The takeaway
Potential buyers should prepare for significant mechanical work given the car is not currently driveable. Watch for the auction's final result on September 29, 2026 to see if the reserve price is satisfied.
What happens next
The auction closes on September 29, 2026. Should the car fail to meet its reserve price, the seller may choose to relist the vehicle in the coming weeks.
