Dam 70FormulaCA, that car is beautiful!!!!
Is that Bermuda blue???? I believe it was a 70 or 71 color if memory serves me??????

Also if some has,,, has had,,, or even has a pic of a stock color early second gen Formula that would be the equivalent to a Bermuda blue please post a pic as I've be looking for a while and haven't fond one yet..... 70FormulaCA seems to be as close as I've seen and I'd sure love to see more of that car too.....

Actually, that color looks more like Adriatic Blue to me - has a little more silver tint to it than Bermuda Blue. Either is a beautiful color. Heck - I like all the Blues!

And where did we get these springs and what are the actual specs or part #

Mid-engine Firebird prototype thread for reply

http://forums.maxperformanceinc.com/...d.php?t=677607

I for one would like to know what happened to the Adams / Lamar mid-engine 2nd Gen Firebird prototype.

Was it crushed, or sitting in the corner of some warehouse now?

Alvin, that mid-engine 'bird is mentioned and pictured in this 2010 interview with Herb Adams, but not many details.

My son and I just finished painting his 73 Firebird, and we took both our cars to his first cruise in car show and now I think he's hooked.

Default Awesome thread

Here are some pics of my 70 T/A originally a Lucerne blue car but I always wanted a white one. RA III 4 speed, a/c deluxe bright blue interior. Has a well built 70 455, super T10 and 3.42 geared 12 bolt. I painted it back in 1995, so it is in need of a do over as soon as I get the others taken care of. I think it will be the correct color this time. kinda like having a new car LOL
