Thank you for the comment. My Dad, husband and I are trying to get the 69 GTO RA IV finished soon. Hopefully by 2010 show season     I'll be posting more pictures of it    Our 2002 and 1996 Trans Ams were BOTH in the September 2009 issue of HPP  It was an engagement gift from Christopher Phillip

Well she is put away for the winter now for sure.
Considering changing the transmission to a manual 4 speed.
Would be a muncie, appreciate your thought's on this.
The Turbo is working great and I would keep it as it is the original which was rebuilt but a 4 speed is very appealing.

Hey Todd, Thank's for the comment,funny you should mention your first ride,mine was in a 67 Firebird when I was 12 or 13 and I needed to have one ever since.

Hi Pete.  Thanks for the Kudo's on my Wagon...  Love your 69 too!  I remember when I was 11, my best friend's older brother had a 69 FireBird, and he took me for a ride.  That was my first 'burnout' experience.  Needless to say, the smile hasn't left my face, and 69 Bird's have a special place in my heart to this day.  Sweet ride...

Thankz. Never been dyno'd. After all these years have only had it on the track once N ran a 12.3 best @ 111mph. With REAL tires might crack 11?? Here in Mich the rides are up on blocks mid Oct. Bow season starts Oct 1st...LOL

"Awesome ride! Voted for ya. How come nobody votes? New here of course, clue me in? I also have a G6. No pic's posted. Still figuring out how to move around here. No FAQ folder...LOL. Have a good one. This is Woodward Dream Cruise week here. Have many choices of Cruise nites/shows everyday. Or justa plain cruisin."

Thank's for the comments, I think voting is so subjective some folks tend to stay away and just appreciate everyone's ride for what it is especially when it comes to HP.
425 is perfect for me but sure is less than 800 plus no doubt.
There are a fair amount of different car club's here and cruise nights just about every weekend and show's are plenty through the summer month's.
Up here in Canada in the west during the winter all the cars pretty much are stored away.
Take Care,  Pete
