Formula400 if you restored that in 4 months, you must work way harder than me!! Did you do all the work yourself??

there are some photos of it in the thread "lets see those 70-73 birds" but there has been alot more done since then i will post pics of it when i get updated photos from some changes i did recently.
The photo in the thread is when i just got it on the road and was excited to drive it, took it right to a local car show and won peoples choice out of 600 cars and it still was not fully completed
I will post a couple of photos of the process also, i'm at work and don't have them on file here

Default 65 GTO Tiger

Check out this barn find that i picked up just a few weeks ago. 65 GTO Tiger tri-power 4-speed PHS docummented. Was found in a second story of a barn in Ohio. It was driven up there on wooden planks in 1978 and left there to sit. I looked this car over and it is an unmolested original down to the hoses, exhaust & air cleaner elements. Car has the original paint and has never been wrecked. I looked at all the #'s and date codes and everything matches up. I have cleaned it up, put some fresh fuel, oil and battery in it and it started right up. Car has a little rust in both rear quarters and a little in the left front fender, driver floor board and trunk. Can't wait to get started on this one.

[B]Found this one a couple of weeks ago. He will sell it but wants around 13k. It doesn't have the original motor & trans. Otherwise, real goat convert that really should be restored. I just bought a 69 so I'm really not interested....Any Takers????[/B]

Default Firebird For Sale........

This one is 1/2 mile from my house and is quite a bit rougher than the pic would have you think. He would probably let it go for $1,500.00. I took this picture about a year ago but I'm pretty sure it's still there. Can't remember what turned me off about this car but I really didn't pursue it.

Here's a real 1969 400 I pulled out of long term "storage". Unfortunately, it sat too long and couldn't be saved. However, many of the parts live on in my 1969 TA.
