Ive been to plenty of car shows in our area, and I always see a ton of the usual camaros, mustangs, chevelles, gtos, vettes..but rarely see a bird. If I do see a bird, its almost always a coupe or a 68, and never, never a 69 vert.
The only time Ive seen multiple 1st gen birds together is when the local pontiac club does a parking lot show on the west side of Madison. Even then, I dont see any 69s.
I think Ive only seen one 69 vert in my area, and it was at the Jefferson swap meet and it had the carousel red color mine is supposed to be, of course, it wasnt the original color..heh. (If I could count the number of times Ive seen bird owners change from verdoro green to carousel red...heh)
