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...

Just about time to put the Firebird away for the winter.
Hoping for next summer already.

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

Thanks for the reply and very cool you are doing this with your Dad!
The 69 Firebird to me looks best with the vinyl top if not a convertible for sure, I like the 68 without and the 67 as a convertible.
What color is your Dad's car?
It will be great when its done to do pictures together, only thing better than a Firebird is two Firebirds!
Take Care,  Pete

Beautiful car Pete!  Thanks for the comments on my car as well.  One question, we're working on my dad's 69 right now and he wants to go back with the vinyl top, would you recommend?  Can't wait to get another one of these beautiful cars back on the road!!!
