So for those of you who do not know I sold my 03 terminator to a member here on the board. I also sold my classic 1966 Mustang Coupe after 4 years of babying it. All I have left is my 87 GT Vert now, and have big plans for it.

What is news is the replacement to my classic herd, i decided to steer out of the blue oval and into a GM. Check it out:

It also came with a full set of alternate wheels with under 1000 miles on them. Which set do you guys prefer?

Its a full rotisserie restoration, firebird 400 CID, 4 speed Muncie.

I intend to put it on the dyno at jeff's to see what it is capable of but let me tell you it pulls a lot harder then my 289 mustang.

Color is Candy Apple Green, it is as clean underneath as it is on top.

Believe me you will hear it coming with the flowmasters underneath.

Oh the horror, the horror, JFWY!! Good looking Firebird. The good part is that it still has a poncho motor in it and not a small block chevy. How many zeros were on that check?

I have not gone completely away from the oval, I still have my 87 GT Vert which will get some much needed upgrades this winter!

Could i make a suggestion? As gorgeous as that engine bay is, the Summit and Edelbrock stickers really don't belong...


Oh and i liked the Torque Thrusts...i thought they were original Craigers...

Very Clean and nice car! :bigthumb

I like the wheels in the first pic better and I agree with 85_SS_302_Coupe on getting rid of the stickers on the radiator bracket.

I don't believe I've seen this car around. You'll need to go to the Trans-Am Nats at the Dayton Airport next year and the Tipp City Cruise-In. Hope to see you there!

That thing looks super nice, definately the wheels in the first pic though. That thing would look killer with the pro touring look.

stickers are coming off no worries there. as is the silver hose braiding.

American Racing Torq Thrust are my faves as well.

I vote pro touring as well. Lower it and wides all around. That is what is in right now and it would be cool as heck.

You still need to come by I found your cert and have that tonneau for you.

I will be out of town this weekend but the wife will be around.

I would gladly line up, but thats where it ends. I am certain you will smoke me. Call it a second sense. :lol:
