New baby girl!!

[M_ENERGY]

Long story short I have wanted a 67-68 Firebird 400 ever since I was 13yrs old. Living in Indiana till 2009 I never found one up there that didn't have a tree going through the floor board unless you bought a 20K plus show car. So recently I was browsing the internet and "DING DING DING" we have a winner!

I found this in Waynesboro, GA drove down and drove her home Other than the paint and CD player this baby is ORIGINAL. I just ran all the codes and the motor, tranny, and carburetor are all number matching! (which was just a bonus)

only plans for this car at the moment are new window seals, gaskets, etc. Power brakes (disc) and 17" torque thrust II black/polished lip.

Nice find Derrick!!! Needs lowering

I would like to lower the rear to level it a little more 1-2"

What was the OG color?

[M_ENERGY]

April Gold with white vinyl top original. Its not butt ugly, but I won't repaint it that color either.

Nice find indeed! I'm a little shocked that the previous owner let you drive it back with the Georgia plate still on it.

We'll have to go for a ride in it one night while we're up at the Ocoee for the comp after "I've had a few" After all, we can't let the Caddy have all the glory

LOL its not as fast as the Caddy.....yet! I haven't checked but it has some choker gears in it for sure and open diff. I raced Amanda in the Caddy coming home and I thought maybe I could jump her off the line with her behind the stick WRONG all I heard was Borla exhaust in front of me I couldn't hear the pontiac and there is no tach so I backed off didn't know how hard I was running her and Pontiacs don't like a lot R's so I cruised her home One thing she has going for her is that she sounds fast

Yeah I'm alive. Just been playing with other kinds of "toys" and they don't leave much time for the RC toys.... Been working like crazy to stay afloat and spend a lot of time outta town working these days so I been too busy to touch the RC rigs. Actually looking for a Mustang to build but got my eye on a Camaro a buddy has for sale. May be a new toy in the stable before long.
