Re: First 2 firebirds in the news
All the more reason for not wanting to watch this show and others like it. I see these guys at several auctions a year and people always swoon over them wanting their picture taken with them. Please......... [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/sick.gif[/img] It is truly sad when you have to make up material to sell a show. Inventing the drama is bad enough. Unfortunately there are just too many people that watch these shows and take is as gospel. If I hear another "did you see what that one sold for at Barrett-Jackson" comment one more time when I go look at some farmers car I will puke. It is shows like these that really pollute the hobby.

Re: First 2 firebirds in the news
The show may not be a hit toward the hobbyist, but from a business aspect for me, my phone has rung off the hook for 3 weeks non stop and I even have another reality show wanting to do a similar show with something that is more exciting IMO than the firsbirds. I cant thank fast n loud enough for all of this.

Re: First 2 firebirds in the news
Several years ago we were approached in passing about doing one of those reality shows here in the shop. Took me about 1.5 seconds to answer. NO! I have no desire to have that type of dog and pony show here and would rather earn my money the hard way. To each their own.

Re: First 2 firebirds in the news
This is the first time I saw this thread. When I saw "first two Firebirds", I got all excited thinking about the GM Design Studio and Motorama cars! THEY ARE the first two Firebirds!!! Saw them at the display at Pebble a couple years back---WAY COOL!!! OK These are still cool.

And the airwaves in general. I really don't miss not having a tv. If this is the kind of crap I'd have to be watching, I'd rather do anything else. |
Re: First 2 firebirds in the news
<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: 68l30</div><div class="ubbcode-body">IMHO...I think the cars were bought for all the money. The reality stopped right there. I believe the rest is all TV hocus pocus. It's entertainment for most everyone out there and a bit insulting to the other 2% out there that really get it. Good bad or otherwise, looks like they can restored again if someone needs a pristine #1 & #2.
The bigger issue is.....Wonder what hit the dumpster and how many prototype or differnet processess were used when building #1 & #2? Somethings must have been hand fabbed and such.I'd love to see some detail pics of the floors, cowl, interior..ect. I just hope nothing cool is lost. I've seen some cool 68 stuff that would most certainly be overlooked by others. Looking forward to next weeks show.....it will be entertaining.

Re: First 2 firebirds in the news
I've noticed A-Body upper trailing mounts in so many early 'Birds that I think Pontiac just used that cast center section in everything.

Re: First 2 firebirds in the news
Did anyone notice on the coupe the front subframe was the mid 68 to 69 with the access holes on the inside and
3 holes above. I also saw the part where they were hounding the guy installing the tire on the rear end for one of the firebirds. It look to have the 2 big round eyes on top of the center carrier. |
Re: First 2 firebirds in the news
There are recent pictures of the cars posted on Performance Years. The pictures are toward the end of the thread. Firebirds 1 & 2
