The car in the junkyard was always a like a UFO sighting for me, since I never really made much hay about it, figuring people would disbelieve me! It DID have the paint code "SPEC" on the cowl plate and it was indeed a coupe with no vinyl top or anything. I think it had the rotted remnants of a parchment interior. But not much of anything left of her. Remember that in upstate NY a 16 year old car on that era is far more rusted than a 40 year old car out of the deep south or west due to the unGodly amounts of road salt used here in the winter.
Anyway, thanks for the trip down memory lane! I have very fond memories of rumaging through junkyards for hours on end stripping little parts from classic musclecars and paying a dollar or two for each. Of course thanks to the legal industry and fool vandals most of that is now taboo to junkyard owners!
The pink firebird was almost forgotten until I saw this post today!
ps- Geoff, are you selling her??? How much?
1969 Firebird 350 Coupe, Rust free Texas body, formerly brown, now a TA clone with quality spoiler, latching hood and TA wheel; 1969 GTO Convertible Expresso Brown/Parchment(currently painted red). Both numbers matching. My first love was a Cameo White 67 326 Coupe, bought back in 1983, at the age of 17, for $1,200. Been hooked since on PONTIAC! Working on a 67 400 ragtop for customization-Gulf Turquoise/Parchment/400/4 spd! My winter project!
