For those who've wondered what ever happened to the 67-69 Firebird Registry....

I started collecting data from owners back around 1991. The purpose (as stated earlier in this thread) was for research purposes only (contrary to what some may think). Some time after this, I met Geoff and he too was interested in the idea of a Registry. We worked together on several research projects involving how the first gen 'Birds were built, options, colors, production variations, Broadcast (Build) Sheet decoding, etc. With Geoff's computer/web skills, much of this was made available on-line. Apparently, there was some programming glitches (or...?) a few years ago and the on-line project died.

As for me, I've been out of the Firebird loop for quite a few years (like...almost 15 it seems). Life happens, Family, work, etc.
Anyhow... I'm back. Finally starting to restore a '68 Ram Air I conv. (more on this another time).

If anyone is interested, I still have all of the registry data I collected over the years. Now & then, I'd add a few more cars as I had time but for the most part, I've not been actively collecting or doing much with the data. There have been a few over the years interested in continuing with the Registry or spinning off different registries (such as 67-69 Ram Air Firebirds). I'd be more than happy to work with anyone who has the time and skill-set to help evaluate and organize this data into an on-line database. Again, I've been "off-the-grid" for the most part over the past decade or so. Not quite sure what the current status is here on FGF with regards to all that Geoff has done with the data & research we compiled way back when. If I've mis-spoken here on anything in this regards, I apologize.

I'm a detail oriented guy; Fascinated by how & why things were done and I enjoy the research. Obviously, it's not likely anyone is going to be able to put together a complete registry or database of ALL remaining 67-69 Firebirds but, we can learn a lot about what is collected that can assist those restoring their cars or, provide insight into variations, scarcities, how many were built with this or that, dates, codes, etc.

If you have an interest in this AND have the time and computer skills to take it forward, please contact me privately and I'd be glad to assist with everything I have. A lot of what I have is hard copies. Some I put into Excel. Still think it would be an interesting database to put together.

Thanks!
