Just thought I'd show off my new Firebird Esprit to anyone here who isn't too brand loyal. It's a 350 Pontiac 2-barrel car with a TH350. It needs a bit of paint touch up, new tires (obviously, when was the last time you saw Polyglas GTs?), and some brake work. It's just been sitting for a long time, but it's in pretty good shape overall.
New non-Mopar for me--'74 Firebird

I've always liked Firebirds. In fact if I wasn't into Mopars I'd probably be a Pontiac guy.

I like my reality blinders too - over 50 but refuse to act it.. because "if you're not having fun. you're doing it wrong".. :twisted: you appear to be having fun...

'74 was a good year, styling wise. Hard to find one in such good shape. Congrats!
I'm not a hater.
I love all American muscle cars.
That's beautiful. I would put a 4 barrel and exhaust and drive the wheels off it!

You bet I am! Keep up the immaturity and I'll do the same.
It's not bad, especially considering it's been in Michigan its whole life as far as I know. It was undercoated when new, was painted once in the '80s, was hit in the left rear in the late '90s or so, so that part's a lot shinier. I'm thinking the rest will wheel out pretty well to match...at least I hope.

Glad I'm not the only F Body owner on this site. Just got done with this 79 Z28 six moths ago.

Great looking Pontiac. She looks super clean and a very nice color combo. And while I'm at it. That's one sweet Camaro.
maybe he caught all those reruns of Smokey and the Bandit!???
I was real temped 2 years ago to buy an early 70's Camero. local bodyman/hotrod builder had a pretty nice one with rebuilt 350, pretty solid driver, price was $1500 ! a bargain for even a chevy!
best part of the thing was GM kept building this cool bodystyle after all other co. gave it up!! and they sold many.
