I believe the owner probably got tired of me looking at it. It is a great car.
I looked at it and the CR Judge a great deal of the time. This was my first convention since 1989 so I had a lot of fun!

That is one monster of a car - who owns it? Is there a story that goes with it?
Thanks for the pictures!

Nope, no story..............lol.
I believe his name was Rob C???? I'm sure someone else will remember his last name. Oh yeah, 9,300 miles--lots of it a quarter mile at a time. Rob said that it had the original engine. I did not question him on that. I need to take a pad with me to record things..........................

I did not know the firebirds used the long branch type exhaust manifolds from the big cars. Very cool indeed.

Wow!
Radio delete, gauges, RA II, 4-speed, red, it doesn't get much better than that! What is the steering wheel option it has? I don't remember seeing one like that. |

Not sure about the 67 FB. The center cap looks like the 67 style. That style wheel was definitely used on the 68 Camaro. |
