Eureka, Montana or Bust! Helmut congrats on your newest ride! We can only hope the original springs do not break with Jim behind the wheel all the way to Montana.

Check out the originality of this fine Bird.

Re: Helmut`s 1970 Firebird
 

Thanks for the heads-up on the wheels... Perfect for this bird! I'm on it.

Re: Helmut`s 1970 Firebird
 

Honeycomb wheels were not available on the 70 Firebird. The correct wheels are 14x7 Rally II wheels with a JS code.

Re: Helmut`s 1970 Firebird
 

Don,
Do you know where Helmut can get the correct wheels??

Re: Helmut`s 1970 Firebird
 

------They are usually all over E-bay, but I still think the honeycombs would look cool........Bill S

Re: Helmut`s 1970 Firebird
 

congrats--looks awesome

Re: Helmut`s 1970 Firebird
 

I aways like to see second generation birds on this site. It looks great.

Noooo . . . . https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/shocked.gif Why make such a nice original a rolling cliche? EVERYONE slaps on some mags. This car has poverty caps with trim rings. Doesn't it look nice enough as a good example of a car that's hard to find stock to begin with? https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/worship.gif

Re: Helmut`s 1970 Firebird
 

Relax.. I won't make a rolling cliche out of this bird. Those poverty caps will get a correct set of rubber and come out for short drives or shows, but not for daily driving.

Re: Helmut`s 1970 Firebird
 

I love the bright Blue interior... with Mulsanne Blue paint... WOW

Re: Helmut`s 1970 Firebird
 

That code 26 paint which in the pontiac book is called Lucerne Blue.
Just put the new BF goodrich Radial TA's on all four corners and am ready to leave for Montana in the morning.
Will try to post a few more pics tonite before I leave and hopefully some from on the way out.

Re: Helmut`s 1970 Firebird
 

Well, we're bunked for the night @ Rapid City, SD. Will be going to see Mt. Rushmore in the morning and will take some pics then. Hope to post some tomorrow evening!!

The Firebird has performed well so far.
Only maintenance is adding a little oil, and changing the fuel filter which collected some rust from gas tank, I think.
A/C does not work, so windows are open and my left arm is sun burned from hanging it out the window!

Re: Helmut`s 1970 Firebird
 

Car delivered to Helmut in Eureka, MT !
Just a little over 2,000 miles driven to get her to her new home!
I've sent Dan Vasic some pictures to post for me.

Re: Helmut`s 1970 Firebird
 

Here you go Jim.....

Looks to me like you had to take an emergency pit stop....and well Mt. Rushmore was secondary https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/naughty.gif

Helmut don`t let Jim fool you....he oviously lost the race to this Yellow Buick Skylark. Just ask Melissa, she won`t lie https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/dunno.gif

It was 100 degrees when that buick went by me, I think I was seeing mirages everywhere, so I thought it was best not to run him down and teach him a lesson.
