[turbo69bird]

I have accumulated most of the parts from the car over the years even the gauges etc.. I don’t have the body but I do have most of the info to recreate it or identify it if it was found
However it was supposed to have been crushed by a local metal scrap yard because the front sub frame and an arms etc had been extensively acid dipped and were paper thin. Real question is did they actually scrap it. ( who knows)
The RAV pro stock engine is currently in my RAIv firebird , where we believe it was at least tested at one point before the 70 body’s got there. my car also got the RAV style shift light tach at ( what I can best figure) the beginning of 70 race season .can tell because for a short time the tach changed colors in the pictures which coincides w them getting the V parts from Pontiac and changing it

The 70 body hadn’t been delivered yet, and had a glass front end so the tach went on my car instead of the pro stock car ( sadly it came off in 1978 and I don’t have it) .
I’d like to find one of the repros someone made (HOBI I believe )
Anyway the two drivers for Stephens say the body was a 70 and a half but the article says it was a 71 so I figured I’d put it out there to you guys for fun and see if you noticed any gel take signs on the back half . It’s hard because the car was also update every year earliest picture I know of w a date on it was August of 70 ! I will eventually recreate it as best I can from
All the info and parts that I have .

I grew up 1 block away from Stephens original Pontiac dealership and knew both of the drivers .my dad and who brother knew most of the guys who worked there and worked on the cars and some salesmen. I also bought my first bird from this dealership new. I used to draw pictures of these cars on my note books in school �� and we rode our bikes through the dealership making vroom vroom noises pretending to be driving them
