Well, this is weird! I went walking around the neighborhood with my wife yesterday and 1/2 way down the road in someone's side driveway, I see the front end of a yellow (looks like a '69) Firebird!

It had a cover on it (well, a tarp), didn't look like it was in mint condition, but didn't look in bad condition either. I couldn't tell from the angle of the car/lot w/ the cover, but it might have been a convertible!

I had to wonder if maybe the old man that owns it at that air conditioning shop had sold it, if that's the same one. Also, I wondered if maybe he lives down the same road as me and moved it there. I don't actually think it's the same car, though. I think his was definitely a 67 or 68. This one had to have been a 69. Of course, it probably has a different engine, too. That would be something if it was another 400 convertible in this same, small town!

On the same day, my wife just got home earlier and called me on the cell and told me to hurry and get in the car. She says she saw a cool Camaro parked down the road. Nice one too! SS/RS (68).

Today, we got some new lounge chairs for the pool and they wouldn't fit in the car, so we came home to get the truck, but I had stuff in it. Oops... I guess we better take the '67 Camaro convertible (and what nice weather for it too!). One the way home we passed someone else in this neighborhood driving a (really nice) '67 Firebird. I didn't get to see if it was anything very special, but what a cool day!

For the record, my wife and I must know where every first generation Camaro and Firebird are in this area (seriously), so it's always nice to see more. Surprisingly, there's actually a lot in this area, considered the number of people/size of the town.

If I ever win the lotto, I know exactly where each house is that I'll visit the next day to start making offers (and own all of them (that's my master plan)). Then the COPO's, Yenko's, Nickey's and Dana's will roll in from elsewhere. Bwahhahaaa! Anyway, I'll see if I can find anything out about that Firebird I saw and let you know if it's a 400!
