About the Car:

I bought the Firebird in 2007 with only around 700 miles on it, a dream come true since I’d been a huge fan of Firebirds since the Burt Reynolds movies. Most of the mods I’ve done to the car are cosmetic with some chrome lettering on the rear and chrome grills. My Dad and I also installed a circuit for sequenced rear indicator lights together one time when he visited here from England. The only performance upgrade installed is an SLP airbox lid since it’s easy to do. I sprayed it silver to match the car, and finished it with a Firebird decal. I’ve been going to Shoreline Cars and Coffee for years with my Firebird and met Alex Kwanton there who is an author for Hagerty and Forbes magazine amongst others. He interviewed me and took pictures of my car for an article in Forbes. The pictures shown here are taken by him and included with his permission. Article below
