Nah, Jim Rockford always referred to it as a "Tan Firebird".

According to Mecum Auction, the Rockford Firebird is estimated to be sold $35,000 - $50,000. Very high price I think! We will see what the actually selling price will be.

I only know of two that still exist. One was just restore by a private owner and the other one is owned by Pat McKinney. It needs to be restored. Here is a link to the story on Pat's 76 Formula. http://jimsuva.typepad.com/blog/2010...rmula-400.html

Cool Jim - Thanks for the link - for that video I posted Rockford could probably have out handled the Vette all day long with 180's etc. but ended it when he saw the Police

In case anyone is interested, here is Garner's last on camera interview as he talks about the Firebird. The Firebird featured in this segment is my 77 Esprit. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Js4ThMD-rC0

Great stuff Jim - actor - stunt driver - James Garner could do it all at a high level - nice Firebird too
