It is a '68 Firebird. Sorry I did not clarify that.
Engine work that needs to be done: It just needs to be cleaned out real bad. It is just dirty. I love the thing. Now if my FC was that cherry. Hmmmm?
My dad has not driven it in a year, and it really pisses me off.
You all should've seen the car we had before that. Actually, not a car really, just a ******* dragger.
It was a '21 T-Bucket KIT car. He built it in the 80's with his bare hands. I was about 4 years old when he completed it. It had only about a ten gallon tank with it, so you could not really go far with it. It had a fiberglass gel coated body(not much of a body though). It was blue with gold flakes, and had some gold lettering on the back that read T-Bucket I believe. You would not believe the tires on this thing. I think they were 14 inch wide tires on the ***, and on the front was little 4 inch tires. It had NOS hookups. But it did not really need it, because it pushed about 550hp all engine.
I will try to find some pictures tomorrow of it.
It still pisses me off to this day that he SOLD IT!! It is right down the road from here, but the guy that bought it from us has probably blown it up, or crashed the ****** thing. The first day he took it home he blew out one of the lug nuts on the rear tire.
The thing was so loud you needed ear plugs to stand beside it. Whenever he started it up, it lit up the whole neighborhood. If he would've closed the garage door, it would blow out the glass windows.
You think your RX-7's are bad ***, this thing was a monster.
Let me try to find some pictures of it.
