General motors came pretty close to perfecting the 2 door hardtop when they designed the 1st generation firebird/camaro. If they can make a new version of the VW beetle or the mini cooper, why cant they put the 68 firebird back into production? They would'nt have to design anything new. It's already been perfected. They could use the old dies and tooling, which would save them millions of dollars, if they built a competitor to the new mustang. Hey they already spent the money to build a new lo-emissions version of the 350 v8. (lt1) I think its time we let the GM shareholders know the real story of the life and death of the firebird, and how it proves that GM mangement is incompetent. Take a picture of a 67 firebird parked next to any thing in a pontiac showroom and you have all the evidence you need to prove that the GM head office has become a sheltered workshop for blind retards.
