For people in the rust belt, the term &quot;the car is rough&quot; generally means something on a completely different scale than when it's said on the West coast. Hopefully in this case that holds true.

Cool car. I remember seeing the V8 car at Pomona and thinking 'what the hell IS that??'

If I'm not mistaken, the Olds that Fitch did was a 2-engined Toronado.

Here it is, sorry about the bad pictures, I had a finger print on the lens, it started with a battery and a shot of gas, carb needs rebuild, not much worse when I parked it about 1998 (I think)

Oooh, she looks good! Like she's seen quite a bit of sun and use, especially the interior but appears very solid and straight. What a neat piece. Thanks for posting the pics.

When I worked at Yenko in the 60's I had a part time job in the Winter months on weekends at the Hilton Hotel downtown Pittsburgh as a valet parking attendant. Got to drive lots of interesting high dollar cars.One Saturday night was sent to the underground garage to retrieve a car for a guest..was nicely surprised to find that it was a Fitch Firebird..400 cubes, 4 speed.I knew all about the car.Took a couple laps around the garage to check it out and warm it up for the owner, of course.
