1979 PONTIAC FIREBIRD
FORMULA 400
FITTED WITH A6.6 LITRE ENGINE WITH A 3 SPEED AUTO BOX, IT HAS POWER
STEERING, POWER BRAKES, LTD SLIP DIFF, AIR SHOCKS AT REAR, PAINTED ENGINE WITH CHROME
BITTYS. IT HAS BEEN FITTED WITH ELECTRIC FANS, FOR THE LONG HOT SUMMERS IN THE UK. IT HAS
T-TOPS WHICH ARE REMOVABLE, WHICH ARE GREAT IN THE HOT DAYS, IT IS FITTED WITH A CDPLAYER,
LOTS OF WORK DONE BY MYSELF.
I OWNED THE CAR FOR ABOUT 4 YEARS, AND REALLY ENJOYED THE CAR, WE WENT TO MANY SHOWS FROM INVERNESS TO DOWN SOUTH IN ENGLAND.
WE HAVE ALSO OWNED A FEW OTHER YANKS IN OUR TIME, FIRST WAS A CHEVY IMPALA 4DR WITH A 307CI ENGINE, I WISH I STILL HAD IT NOW.
ALSO HAD A MUSTANG HARDTOP WITH SIX CYL ENGINE, NO POWER BRAKES AND NO POWER STEERING ETC NICE CAR (SEE PHOTO)
THE CAR WE LOVED (AND DID A HELL OF A LOT OF WORK TO) WAS A CHEVY MONTE CARLO 5.7 ENGINE, AUTO, BENCH SEAT, REALLY NICE CAR.
ALSO HAD A PONTIAC LE MANS WHICH NEVER SEEN THE LIGHT OF DAY WHICH I SOLD TO A GUY FOR A HEALTHY PROFIT.
BUT THE CAR I REALLY WANT IS A BUICK RIVIERA BOAT TAIL 1973 CIRCA.
I COULD GO ON AND ON ABOUT YANKS I.E. HOW I GOT THEM ETC ETC PERHAPS I'LL LEAVE THAT FOR THE CLUB MAG
