After seeing it had near perfect deluxe interior, little rust and a Muncie transmission, I decided to toss out a high offer and see if he would bite. It worked and I drove the car home the next day. It also has a nodular center section ten bolt reared.

As far as pictures go, what you have posted so far are great...keep them coming. I took a photography class in high school, but you are a professional, I can tell.
I was a Chevy man before I bought my Firebird. The guy that I bought it from was a friend of mine and he told me he had a 69 Firebird. I figured it was similar to a Camaro so I bought it. He had a 455 laying around.

Love your car and my second favorite wheels too!

I'm no pro, just a hack that gets lucky occasionally.

Here are 2 pictures of a customers '65 I am bringing back from Ca. to Ohio. weather was very strange. causing the sky to be a funny color. If you look closely there is a rainbow in the one picture between the back of the car & the road sign. Unfortunately it did not show up as good as I wanted it too!
