Default 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. Yes this is the car that I had put up for sale on here a while back and changed my mind.
here are a few pictures of the car.....

Thanks everyone for the compliments here are a few pictures I thought I would share with you....
First is a key chain that I bought at a POCI show in 1996 Its been hanging on the rear view mirror since the show...OH and BTW, the car won 2 awards at the show first was best Firebird and second was a Memorial award in memory of a past member.





Second is a copy of the window sticker....

Really nice.

It you would still enjoy taking it to a show/display or going for a drive, I encourage you to keep it. I have not lost the enthusiasm for my first Pontiac over the last 35 years. I remember that super excited feeling of driving it at 19 in 1979 when I got it.

If the excitement is gone, I'm sure there are others that would be glad to have it.

I do like the car but I have not driven it more then 10 miles in the past 10 years or more.
I am downsizing my garage space and can only keep 2 cars, Thus 3 must go. Just not sure what ones I want to keep.
letting these cars sit do no good for them I already have had the calipers rebuilt 2 times and they are leaking again. The rebuilder still says he will gladly honor his lifetime warranty and rebuild them for free.
I just need to choose what cars to sell. This is not an easy task.

Sea Crest sold quite a few interesting Pontiacs. I believe a few convertible Judges came out of that dealership also. Very nice car by the way.

I remember my next door neighbor buying a new 1969 GTO Ram Air convertible there. It was mayfair maze (yellow) with a black top and black interior it had a 4- speed and full wheel covers.
What a car it was!

Very very nice, indeed. Love the color combo. If you can, ditch the 'cuda and keep the 'bird. Judging by this and your other cars, like the '65 GTO, you are an excellent custodian and qualified caretaker of these pieces of history. I envy your collection, but in truth, these cars could not be in better hands. Keep it and start driving it every now and then!
