Sat night Lemont Il Yes we know each other.... yes this is the first time they were ever anywhere together! The owner of the red one has owned it many years, been to many shows never to park next to another one! Dang I got to park next to one my first year out! Very cool looking at people doing the double take! And we were asked what is the difference between those two!

Went to Gears and Ears Today Yorkville Il had the only 69 there over 400 cars. The only other was a very nice 68 vert. Many Camaro's.... ?

The odds of parking next to another car of the same year, make, model and body style are slim enough...and now that the cars are 41+ years old it is even more unusual.

These show and shines are one of my favorites, much more so than juried shows. My very favorite, though, is when nice restaurants have cruise-ins. Dine on the patio with other owners, and enjoy all the classic cars too. Our last time out there were two '67 Firebird convertibles that I'd never seen before.

Very cool! Is the other guy a member here?

that is cool.. I saw one 68 at a show, but never found the owner.. and passed a couple others on the road, but that's it

Yep, it's just as nice to park next to one as to be the only one.

At the Pigeon Forge Pontiac show I had the only 68 Convertible, which I found odd since there were numerous 67's and 69's.
But I had the ONLY OHC-6 period, Bird or otherwise.

A to the Q, ones red , ones yellow...

take a look at this...from a Princes Hamburgers 75 yr anniversary Car Show...

Bjorn,

Need to resize that pic, don't think it'd even fit on a 52" plasma.

hey i was there ! i seen the ohc-6 bird .

Is the Yorkville one weekly? If so, when and where? Would love to find a Sunday show!

fits fine here though..

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)

Earlybird not sure if he is a member, but I have sent him the link.

Gene there are many show going on on Sundays. Check out Gearhead

i think the difference is the yellow one is faster.

everyone knows that back in the day daytonna yellow cars we set at 10-15hp more than any other color.

Wow, I thought that daytona yellow birds were set 12mph slower. Guess you learn something new everyday....

I wonder if that is the same car I saw last year @ Iola. The owner swore it was the correct color till I told him that it should have a 72 on the trim tag where the 67 was of his. He still didn't believe me though. I think "67" is dark red or burgandy. Anyway, there are at least 6 '69 firebird converts here in the Green Bay area.
