Default 72 Firebird 'Street' car
Art & Sonny Girard 72 Firebird


Are they on here?
Very good looking Bird with a PONTIAC engine still.
70/71 grills instead of the 72 grills, but still a good looker.

No they are not on here. But he comes on and looks at comments. I can answer any questions about the car. I think we are going down this weekend to pick it up. Not 100% sure yet.

Mean Mo-sheen !

Maybe the grilles are just mock-ups til its ready for the road.
Did notice a Plastic Front Valance , so looks like they probably know about what the right parts are.
Needs the 72 grilles to mark the identity on something that nice.

Congrats to them on going that far into such a serious build.
Way over my head by a mile !

Thank you. It has been a long time coming with this car. There have been a ton of set backs. It will be nice to see them finally enjoying the car.

That's a beautiful bird. Interesting it has a Kauffman engine with Butler heads.

Whoever wrote the article never takes with them. He was only talking the guppy’s at Chassis Engineering. The engine is a 535 that was built by KRE. It had ported D-ports on it and no pro charger. When they wanted to add the pro charger they tried calling KRE to order some high ports and have the engine set up for boost. KRE would not call them back. So they called Butler. The engine is more than likely going to be a Butler combo that will be built in town by Mark Headrick.
