Man, that's a pretty car. I've always though second-gen Firebirds were just about the sexiest car ever made. Unfortunately, the only one I've ever owned was a rusty, beat-to-the-ground, crap brown on tan 72 Formula 400.
Poor old thing was slow as a Citation towing a three story house up a mountain, but with a set of rusty Cherry Bombs, it did a great job of scaring the rollerskate chicks at Sonic. And that was enough to earn it "cool" status at my high school.
