I'm guessing this is the one you mean?
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Ponti...80675552QQrdZ1 Just loosing the hood & wheels would make a HUGE positive difference. That hood is a TOTAL Camero "wannabe" thing! I just noticed that it was set up for a Buick? No Pontiac "brand loyalty" HERE! Last edited by 2manyT/A'S; 01-18-2007 at 08:43 PM. |

An L88 hood on a Firebird??? What's next, shakers on Camaros??? And then he states:
"Note; Ebay somehow changed my title, it was suposed to read Rare 1970 Herb Adams FIRE AM , Not 1970 Trans AM , I dont want anyone to think this was a true 70 Trans am, it started out as a base bird, and now it's just better than a Trans Am (parts wise that is)." Get a load of that last line - "now it's just BETTER than a Trans Am".............................and probably worth AT LEAST twice as much............... |

This must have been an "early" electric car prototype.
The engine was removed for electric motor/battery clearance & the outlet box is for plugging in the battery charger! Notice the L in the vin? It a California car. Herb was WAY AHEAD of his time! Last edited by 2manyT/A'S; 01-19-2007 at 08:42 PM. |

I think I know that car, guy used to work in Farmington, CT back in the early 90's - but it had a later year front clip on it at the time. Interior is the same, roll bar, buckets etc. The guy was a little bit of a nut case, always thought I would turn on the news some night and see that he had emptied a gun mag in a mall or something.

Kinda reminds me in a way of a 70 Formula I just saw two days ago, a real travesty.... I had to turn around and go back and check it out after driving by. When I got close, I cringed. What appeared to be a real 70 Formula. Had TA flares front and aft, with the behind the wheel ugly flare things also, all molded on. Had a Camaro spoiler, not a Bird one, again molded on. Had the dorky 70's style rear window aluminum slat thingy too. I bought a bird once that had one, it went in the trash in five minutes..... I know the "it's your car do what you want" argument, but there really should be a law

I don't know why,but it seems that 70-73 Formula's really seemed to attract "bad" modifications in the 70's & 80's.
I think the owners of these cars,for the most part bought them because they WERE NOT a T/A with the BOLD AGGRESSIVE styling. After owning/driving them for a few years,they likely got tired of their "plain" Formula's being overshadowed by T/A's all the time & embarked on a generally "tasteless" modification program which involved spending stupid amounts of money making stupid changes to their cars,just to draw attention to them.(kind of like the corvete guys) HPP & Thunder Am magazines used to feature these hermaphrodite Formula's all the time. I believe it was the late 80's before they actually featured a "stock looking" 70-73 Formula. It's SAD seeing those cars today & sure makes our "stock" unmodified Formula's look GREAT! There's nothing WORSE than a Formula trying to be something it's NOT! |

Cool, I have those same support bars, they go from the firewall to the upper a arm bolt. They came off a parts car I had a few years ago.
