Every time I would see it at Pomona, I would think the same thing. Didn't know what it was. I guess it was around 2001, when I quit going...good cars where drying up.

Hi, I used to drive it to Pomona to get a up front parking spot, that way if I bought something I would not have to carry it very far, I drove it there for about 10 years, one time when I was driving in a guy was running backwards filming my car and almost fell down and run over, that is when I stopped driving it, I felt someone was going to steal it, it just brought to much attention, I had a Continental Air Line Pilot that used to try to buy it more than once at that swapmeet, at that time I told him I would take $60,000.00 (I'm glad he didn't but he was close), I could never drive it anywhere without someone wanting to know about the ugly fins, then I was there for about 15 Min. telling them about the car, after a while I got tired of the drama, I'm going to sell it now. Who knows what it's worth, I guess I going to find out.

I think since you have stirred up some interest of the registry you should definitely keep these guys posted on the status of the sale. Someone here may want it and it would be great to see her come back to life.

Super cool car, Cliff. Thanks for posting the pics. Just want to add that this is not the Fitch Firebird I saw at Pomona. The one I saw was on a trailer and was a project car. Definitely had the tell tale flying buttress fins and other cues. This was maybe within the last 10 years. I don't remember the color. It may have been red but I don't remember for sure.

If you do manage to get it Charlie please let me know. I'd like to help out whether it be through an effort by Classic Ind. or just personally.

Hi, there are some fakes, and I am not sure how to tell the difference, I think the value of my car is that it was retained by Pontiac. (per invoice)
