Looking for another like mine.
I have a 1979 Forumla Firebird. The car is all original from the factory. Matching numbers across the board. It contains a 350 chevy engine. I have never found another like it. I'm looking for some help guys. If anyone knows....please point me in the right direction. I also bought this car brand new. In 1978.

It was in the Camaro Z28 and I'm pretty sure in the Bird also. I know of a 79 Formula that had a SBC from the Factory, 4spd car that got cut up to repair a Trans Am. I'd have saved the Formula myself.
