I don't think you can ever go wrong with black exterior/ red interior on an old car. Muscle or not.

Recent pic of my 70 Firebird that started as an Esprit.

Are those chambered side pipes? They look sweet. I love header side pipes

[O'Neall]

That is a sweet Bird. I love that road racer look!

[NOT A TA]

You can see straight down the center of the pipes but they have baffles in them. Nice sound, low rumble around town. Since they point away they're not loud in the car but they set off car alarms in the city and parking garages even if you're easy on the gas. I got tired of the tape #'s at HPDE and open track events looking crappy in pics so I had the stickers made up with the old school Trans Am look. They're made with special easy to peel sticky stuff so I can remeve them when I want and cost 45 bucks a set from a printing shop so they're disposable sort of. I'll keep them on till the XV Motorsports event at Pocono then take them off for a while.

Not a TA your car is sick

Thanks guys! Here's another pic that shows a couple of the mods I'm currently working on. I replaced the headlights with halogens in a lightweight plastic "headlight" that also incorporates LED's for the park/turn signals in the bottom of the light. They're protected with stainless grills over the "headlight" so I don't have to tape them up on road courses. I installed the lights so I could use the park/turn openings in the splashpan for brake cooling ducts. I've fabbed grills to keep papers etc out from the same grill material as the radiator grills. Now I just need to finish up the ductwork and make a way to shut the ducts when I'm just driving on the street.

[WS6]

damn it. seeing all these sweet first gens makes me want to get a 69 and turn that into my cruiser with my 79 being my mean machine.

I love the gray with the tinted windows, Chris.

[Pontiac Chris]

Thanks for the nice words guys, the color is a Jaguar Gunmetal Grey. Here's a pic of what it started out like back in 1995! It was originally an OHC 6 Sprint model, although it had no motor or trans when I bought it. It did have alot of rust tho! I'm glad to see so many sweet pro-touring Firebirds out there!

Chris,

It just got to me. Did you had a fire in your garage back in England which partly destroyed you car? Turned out awesome!!

[Pontiac Chris]

Hey Cliff, yes thats me, its a real FIREbird! Here's some of the damage from the fire back in 2000, I had no insurance and it set me back another 2 years from getting it on the road - bummer




Cliff I see you're located in Amsterdam! Congrats on your car, its awesome, I love the 69 TA hood, is that a hydraboost behind the Wilwood master I see? How do you like it?

Chris.
