Rask, a red beauty at that!
I think I now want those rims. They sort-of
update the T/A.
BTW, your garage floor is entirely too clean.

This #'s matching 1970 Firebird Formula 400 4spd 12bolt was born with 8 factory options on the 3rd week of July
(07C) at the Norwood Ohio assembly plant, and was shipped to Arthur Center Pontiac in Springfield MA. This rare Keylime green exterior and green interior (code 43,) still retains the original 330 hp WT 400 engine, Close ratio 4spd transmission and 12 Bolt Safety-T- Track rear axel. This car has undergone an extensive frame off nut and bolt type restoration. I began this restoration in September of 2002 and completely removed, replaced and restored every nut; bolt and fastener, rebuilt the engine, transmission and rear end. The body still retains all of its original sheet metal with the exception of both quarter panels. This painstaking restoration was completed in November of 2003. The body and paint are near perfect. Everything new, N.O.S., rebuilt or restored when possible. All trim and bright work restored to mirror finish. New brakes, lines, suspension bushings, shifter rebuilt etc…
Options are 4SPD CLO RATIO TRANS, AXEL-PER, RADIO P/B, RADIATOR-HD, SAFE T TRACK, F70X14 WL FG, CONSOLE, ROOF MLDNG.
Other options I added are hidden wipers, ralley gauges, tilt formula wheel, wheel well mouldings and of course what should be on every firebird a REAR SPOILER!! I know some people don't like them on anything but a T/A but Birds look like crap without them!! IMO
Here are some before during and after pics.

Awesome. That's a really neatly optioned car... haven't seen too many M21/3.73 '70 Formulas. You did a beautiful job on it!

But about the uh.... ah, nevermind.

Yes, they could be "cousins".. And yes... It is about time I showed a few pictures .. My other one is white,which is in pieces. Now all I need is a Red '73 and it will be 4th of July every day for me!! How cool would that be to have a red,white and blue Early Ta?/
My white is a 71 HO,if I could find a red '73 SD, man that would be one fine red white and blue set up...

Not much happening in Hollister, except once a year when the motorcycles show up. I rode my Fat Boy there once in 1997 when I lived in the bay area. I'm kind of surprised a trans am was sold there, especially in 1970. Lots of tractors, not many muscle cars. My dad still lives near there so I drive through Hollister periodically when I visit him. What was the dealer name and address? If there is still a building there I can snap a picture for you.

"And not much happening in Hollister" might be true now, but being a "Fatboy" rider I am sure you under stand the 1%'er history from Hollister..Wasn't much happening then until all the Mortorcycle's road into town!!Hollister is sort of infamous in biker 'lore......
But, YES...I would really appreciate a picture of teh building if it is still there. My direct email is below:

Thanks again! If I can ever help I would be more than happy to try and return the favor..

How about this Chuck. I will give you my Lucy Blue 70 RA lll even trade for that dusty old ugly white '73 you have.. You know the 70 is more sought after than the 73!!><///Yes, I think that is a good trade.Actually maybe we trade and you give me a couple thousand just to make it a fair deal ??<.>

I agree with the "nice car" and the "clap ,clap,clap" statements. I have always been drawn to owner restored cars more so than "checkbook" restored cars.. And no, I am not making a statement against checkbook cars, just admire the fact that you did it all yourself..seems ,to me, to be more in the "spirit" of collecting these old cars when the owner has turned some wrenches himself... way to go!!!.....
