40 Years together My 1967 Firebird and I
Just took my 1967 Firebird out of storage after several years and found repair slips in the console from 1974 in my name. I purchased this car from a neighbor of mine when I was a teenager, she was the original owner.
I did use some detail shine on the paint and wiped it clean and it still looks great considering the paint job is over 25 years old.
The rest of the car is all original.
I did respray the engine many years ago.
Now all I need is to detail it and make up my mind rather I am going to keep it or sell it.
here are a few pictures of the car.....

I am selling a few properties I own and will not have any garage space to keep all the cars I own, Thus I must sell 3 of them .

I see, but very similar to before , no , I have not been back to PY after I was banned for agreeing that a non moderated part of forum shouldn't be moderated , which they did)...that's been years Ccass actually wrote me and offered me to come back, I said , no, as of a principle I wouldn't....

No , I haven been back up to MA, but had an offer from my friend in Foxboro to come up and do a commercial design , but I declined...two reasons , I am only doing residentials since last 20 yrs , plus trying to cut down so I can get retired...but if I come up, it would be nice to meet up again....how`s your health now? better ,same?

Nice. Love the Partchment int.
I bought my 69 in 79 so I'm not too far behind you. I might think about selling it after I get it right(not going to happen). Still working on it. Beside I think there's a sticker on the under carriage somewhere with my daughter's name on it. Haven't found it yet but I'm pretty sure it's there.
