Default Re: Ricks Fitch Firebird...very rare Bird

Hi, if this post is still current I am the one that has the V8 Fitchbird, I have had this car since 1988, I bought it from the designer that worked on the project, yes I used to drive it to the Pomona Swap Meet, and yes it's in Long Beach, CA, the car has been in storage for the last 15 years, I have a copy of the invoice that shows it was retained by Pontiac Motor Div.I talked to John Fitch in 1998 (approx)and have some history, I also have copies of hand written notes to Motor Tread Magazine from John Fitch, after Pontiac canceled the project, John was going to market a kit to sell to the public (never did), I was told there was 5 cars given to John Fitch to work on, however he only finished 2, 1 6 cyl, 1 V8, this may or may not be true, I have a magazine dated 1971 that shows my car, the lic plate in the photo is still on my car, the car I have is ROUGH, however just over a 100,000 miles, I may make it run again (not hard) and drive to some local shows, there was a man in Texas that wanted my car,(I never met him) he sent 2 different buyers over about 2 years to try to buy it, one was named Johnny Keefer and I don't remember the other, I kept telling them stupid numbers, I guess I ran them off (good) the reason for this post is once and a wile people talk to me about my car and tell me funny stories (not true), so I thought you guys would like to know.
