1978 Pontiac Firebird

Despite it's TransAm pretentions, I think this car started life as a more humble model. It doesn't have the front airdam or ugly fender vents. Unfortunately, I was in a hurry and only got a few shots. When I came back later it was gone, and I haven't seen it since.

Note the sequentially numbered licence plates.

That Sable refused to stay out of the pictures, so I had to include a few shots.

As far as I could tell, there is nothing that extends up into that bizarre hood bulge.

Do you have an older family member who is also a classic car fan? Do you need to keep them busy for a while, out of your hair?

Park them in the driver's seat of this beauty. It will keep them occupied for hours without being a risk to themselves or anyone on the street.

Just insert coins in the slot and you friend will be cruising the back roads of his memory, perhaps reliving scenes of "Smokey and the Bandit 2" and considering growing that moustache, buying that cowboy hat he always wanted.

1968 Pontiac Firebird

I loved the first generation Camaro/Firebird, but always preferred the Firebird. It had a nicer front treatment though basically it is the same car (I can hear the gasps of "blasphemy!" from here). It's that distinctive Pontiac beak baked into the bumper. Perhaps I was influenced by the advertising and product placement too. The Camaro was fast, the Firebird was classy.

Tach is not an accurate copy of the original, probably not functional, but it fools the casual observer. Dislike the wheels & low profile tires -- it would be better off with something less glaringly "bling".
