That is one heck of a car. Don't sell it!!!
Your car reminds of a book I read sometime ago. It was written by Joe Oldham (RIP). It was titled "Confessions of a Muscle Car Test Driver". There was a chapter about one of the few RAIV Firebirds built. Oldham called up Jim Wangers and ordered the car for a long-term review. The car was run thru Royal Pontiac for the Bobcat treatment. If I'm correct I think the car was Carosel (SP) red like your car and it had parchmont interior and cordova top.
Oldham street raced the car during his test and blew everything away except for a 427 Corvette that took him down. In closing, Oldham commented it was one of the best memories he had from that time and one of the best cars he tested. Oldham called Wangers back and said he liked the car.
The book is a very good read.
