I spotted a mid 90's Firebird convertible dressed in red!!

Sadly because of where I was, I couldn't get a picture of it and the couple in the car might have found it weird and creepy!!

Most of our cars have big chickens on the hood... it doesn't get anymore creepy than that.

My son is in ABQ. He sent me a picture of the same car this morning.

Yesterday I saw a 77 gold T/A drive by the opposite direction from me, so no pic. BUT that is very rare in my area, as I have seen all Firebirds in town.

Did you notice what side the driver was on? There was a RHD y88 at the Lions show last weekend. The owner said the backstory was the car came from New Zealand.

I did not, actually I don't remember if there was a passenger either.

Today I saw a mid 90's convertible, red in colour, didn't notice the driver but the passenger sure caught my attention

Saw this yesterday, I don't remember the last time I've seen a brown late 70s one.

My light turned green first and I took a better look at the car as I was driving by, it looked very clean and original, two things you don't see here.

Good spot Jack.

Hey Jack, how did you get your Polaroid, or instamatic loaded so fast, to catch that shot? Or do you drive around with them loaded and ready sitting on the seat next to you? Good catch.

You got it Joe, cell phones are banned in MA so had to resort to a Polaroid... Funny enough the Polaroid HD use to be down the street from me and only few years ago it got converted to a supermarket.

Kerry I thought you'd be more interested in that that building with slate roof and all.

roadking77 · « **Reply #56 on:** September 27, 2021, 05:43:40 PM »

HA, First thing I thought when I saw the pic was 'What a great looking building', looks like Bavaria!

RamblerRacer · « **Reply #57 on:** September 27, 2021, 06:32:29 PM »

Spotted this one blasting onto an off-ramp yesterday.
We were headed out to Copiague, NY on the LIE to competition for our school's marching band.
A great stance perhaps but whoever was driving had to be hard on the brakes too the way they were coming on the right.

Sweet looking Bandit!

Referencing the 69, in the bottom photo. Not only does the pavement heat the tires, so does the fender lips.

(Man, talk about a tight squeeze.)

I been seeing this one driving around town for the past two year, never when I have time to do anything. Yesterday was the same situation but at least I got a picture
I could see right into it and drove past it on the road so I know it’s a 74 non ac car with standard 455

Not really spotted in the wild. Was at a local car show last weekend. My car is typically the only trans am I ever see out. Was surprised when these rolled in, kinda. The 68 belongs to my old secretary and her husband. I know them well just dont see them out that often. He has owned the car since 1971. Has gone through a couple of restorations. Very nice. The 79 belongs to his friend whom I have never met. This guy bought the car brand new. A couple of long term owners.

Kerry,

Nice looking Firebirds, from the photos it looks like exceptional body and paint work. I am often amazed at how many paint jobs are superior to what these cars came out of the factory with.

That's cheating Mr. Kerry... but that 67/68 convertible is one top of my list of cars to have... Just beautiful.

roadking77 · « **Reply #66 on:** October 08, 2021, 05:01:31 PM »

Like I said, I know the '68, it def is a first rate restoration. They had it restored quite a few years ago, new NOS quarters put, and a slew of other NOS parts when they were still available. Work was done at a Pontiac dealership. After a few years the car was T Boned at an intersection and it was restored a second time. The 79 is an auto, hard top. Nice looking car, repaint that was about a 7 out of 10. Int. original.

Travelling just outside of York Pa, saw a forgotten 75 trans am sitting in a parking lot of a repair shop. Looked like it had been there since about 1980! I tried to get a pic but the light turned green. My wife said "dont even thing about it". If I had been myself.............

Charlie,

That Esprit is a real time capsule, looks to be in great shape. If it was bronze in color I would be looking for Jim Rockford.

Nexus · « **Reply #76 on:** October 31, 2021, 09:49:53 PM »

hahaha...it would've been awesome if he dressed like Jim Rockford even though the car is blue!!

It is amazing that people are able to still drive these around at this time of year. Normally we are hovering around freezing, and shoveling snow and the salt trucks have been out!!

Spotted a poor old decrepit bird in the bushes yesterday. I will post pics later. Surprisingly I caught my wife in the right mood this time (we were on a journey for her) and she said go back and check it out. I knocked with no answer. I did leave my info saying I wanted to purchase. Honestly will be surprised if I hear back. It looks like one of those "Im going to fix it one of these days". I get to the area every couple of weeks, will stop back one more time if I dont hear anything. Looks rough, may only be a parts car.
