The Firebird just doesn't rank very high any more. It's part of growing up. Razz

I dunno, I dont see any negitive aspects of starting something and then completing it, but then again I have one of those unfinished deals myself.

(Begin Thread Hijak Here)

Here is an example of one that got done, my brothers TT:

85 T/A WS6,
That looks amazing! But I have no idea what I'm looking at. Whats a TT? twin turbo?

I wish I had some money because I would love to buy your car Quick Trip, but I have nothing. Unless you want to trade me for my 1983 Z28. Tell ya what...straight across. Very Happy

I'll tell my rich friends about it though

that is truely a work of art. I couldn't imagine going through all that.

TTT. C'mon... somebody is thinking hard about this. Just make me an offer. I am going to be home for a few days 1st week in August. That would be a great time to hand everything off to the new owner.

Dang it Jon.

I spent all afternoon trying to figure how in the world I could afford to buy it. Man, if I had the money, I would her in a heart beat.

How about I keep the engine, big block specific parts, and tranny, but give you the Holley 4Di 900 cfm fuel injection package and reduce the price by a significant amount? That way you have a prepped chassis and nearly new programmable fuel injection package to make up for the fact that I tore out the computer controls. I still have all the parts for the air conditioning. Just drop in your own engine and manual transmission. Remember... it was a manual tranny car.

Let's get creative and make a deal, Dewey. Thumbs up

Just bring a trailer in early August and take my baby away to give it new life.

hehe, I already have a pretty nice chassis. The big-block and 12 bolt are the parts that I really want.

Honestly, I have no room for another car now, and no way I could afford to buy it.

I have always thought your car was one of the coolest projects around, I really really hope that whoever buys the car takes great care of it!

(and yes, I really crunched some numbers, to see if I could afford to take a loan out for it, and what not. If there was any feasable way for me to bring that car home, you would have heard from me by now!

-------------

I'll also add, for anyone who might be interested. I saw the car a couple of years ago in person (I may have been the last crewbie to actualy see it), and I will go on record saying, that the car is absolutly just a good looking in person, as it is in the photos.

Thanks, Dewey. I appreciate your good words. Odds are that time is on your side. That car has been sitting in the garage for years.

FYI - I'm going to be in Richland, WA on Friday August 4th. It is the only time I will be there with my car for the next year or more. If you have a hankering to buy my car then this would be the best time because you would be able to work directly with me instead of a 3rd party. I live in Illinois.
