I would love to find my fathers old Firebird. The thought hit me today on my search for a different one to replace it but I am quite excited over the thought of finding my old one. Sorry for the repost guys. Like I said I am just really excited about the thought My father died October 25 1989 and I worked on the car for a while until my grandmother informed me that I had to sell it. That was 1992.
I sold it to a fellow named Frank who worked in Langley behind the Lumberland at a window place I believe.
It was last registered (to my knowledge) to my aunt. Carol Louise Fisher.
Here is what I know about the car. 1) It is a 68 convertible. It has a turbo 350 transmission. It had a 326 2bbl 2) IT was kind of a Verdero green wannabe colour with a white roof. I was fixing the power top when the plastic back window broke 3) Interior is black. There is a set of jobber door panels on it that I bought from Classic Camero in New West. I was 15 when I put them on so the tops where the rivets went look like poo poo 4) The rims on it are very weird. Kind of a 70s looking fake mesh wheel. The mesh front is kind of foamy material. Had BFGs on it 5) The right rear qtr was popped kind of hard from the back end. My dad hit the Patullo bridge with it. The rear bumper is also a mess from the accident. I beleive I did some sanding and sprayed the car with some black spray paint as well. 6) To my recollection, I did my first brake job (rears) on that car and put a lucky penny under the brake pedal cover for good luck.
I will post a pic of it from 18 years ago tonight when I scan the pic.
I own a restoration shop here in Salmon Arm. I am moving to the coast this summer and would gladly repay the favour of finding this car for me with some paint and body work. I have pics of my work for those that might be shuddering at the thought of some unknown touching your pride and joy.
Thanks for your time, thoughts, prayers, or mojo in this matter. This car means a lot to me and it killed me when it left. I don't know why I didn't think of this sooner.
