Thanks. I also found out some more info on Lordstown on the PY site. Apparently, I must have owned a number of these cars as Pontiac did not move Firebird production to Norwood until April of 1968. I guess that I just didn't notice back in the day as I had a number of 67 and 68s. The only 68 that I have now in a Van Nuys car. Ed

I had a 69 Firebird that was built at the Lordstown Plant. It was just a standard 350 model out of the factory. I specifically remember the LOR and being somewhat disapointed it was not built at the nearby Norwood plant.

I beleive JohnZ was working at Lordstown when the change over was done... He said he had nothing to do with Norwood by the time the Firebird was moved over there...
Norwood would have been a heck of a place to work in late 69... with Pacers, T/A's, COPO's, ETC coming through
