Alwyn, Nice Firebird, if you know some one looking for a similar project I have a basket case, badly rusted, complete numbers matching 67 Firebird 350 HO convertible I may let go, its a rare one, did not make many 350 HO ragtops, so it is worth saving.


I may be interested in the Firebird......Do you have any pics??

I drive the LS6 as often as possible. It is fun to let the car eat the tires, although a pain to clean rubber from the wheelwells. As far as I'm concerned if you can't drive it, it isn't worth owning. I don't want an oversize paper weight in my garage. To each his own though.


Yeah that is a good Point...Although I am sure there is a lot of money to be made by collecting them

Just because the cars are driven some really doesn't harm their value. As has been said many times before, they can be restored many, many times. If I wanted to collect something with little actual enjoyment from its' use...I'd collect stamps or coins.

I drive the 68 everytime I get A chance, and usually let her breathe A little too!!!! Besides, I wa always told to rotate the engine frequently when you have A solid lift setup.... So I do! It's fun to drive and you really turn some heads with these cars. It only gets frustrating when you can't get away from people who want to talk all day or run up on your bumper to see what you are driving. I don't have the brakes cars have today and in town I drive slower because of that.

I have an original paint Picasso but I've never looked at it. I hear it looks nice. I have an original wood Stratavarious but I've never played it or touched it. [img]/ubbthreads/images/icons/tongue.gif[/img] It seems like cars and toys are the only antiques that never get used.

Rick I can't seem to be able to post any darn pictures. The whole size thing kills me! I don't know how to shrink them down. And yes I found my tickets at home! Duh! I am gonna go out and buy a scanner this weekend and figure out how to post those pics.

Billy, thanks for the compliment! Sorry I missed you. I also missed you at the Larry Roesch car show this summer. Oh well maby this comming summer we could actually meet.
