OMG!!! You can't tell me you've had "ALL" these cars. Which ones do you still own? You are definitely a TA junkie Mike.

Those and several more  :lol:   I have the Kona Blue '69 and the 1977 SE.  Just the two- his and hers.  If you really want to see some Firebirds, get Jeff (dreamn2) to post up some of the ones he has had.

I have to give Mike a big Thank You for having that collection. I lost count of how many parts on my 77 came out of his back yard!

I didn't realize you had bought 3 from me until this thread Mike. Also, the red 79 that started this thread I believe is also the car that started our friendship many moons ago when I came to look at it. Great thread and great pics. I will have to see if I can do a similar thread once I am back in IL to my remote hard drive.

Yep, I bought back the 1981 Daytona pace car that I sold you (I sold the blue 73 468 car to buy it back).  I bought the Y88 project from you- you told me that it was a major undertaking, but (at that time) I thought I could tackle it.  And also the 1973 yellow Formula (what a great car that one was!).

I can still remember when he posted those pictures when he still had each one it seems.  Its sad to think that I can't remember half of the cars my own brother owned, but I remember the ones I see in this community.

My first unique firebird\TA memory online was Joe & Brian's Hood Hinge.  That was great!
