Very nice PT Firebird. Looks like he spent the time and money to do it right. :thumbsup:

XcYZ 09-07-2006 06:42 AM

Damn, that's a mean looking ride. :thumbsup:

rocketman 09-07-2006 06:59 AM

tracy 09-07-2006 08:46 AM

syborg tt 09-07-2006 09:45 AM

i remember this car when it was at Compfab getting some work done. Very nice and well worth the money

Mecom Racer 09-07-2006 10:05 AM

I love the Fikse FM5s... hate the big hood.

fatlife 09-07-2006 11:09 AM

whats with the ladder bar rear suspension, and why have a 4" cowl hood with an LS1?? other than that it looks like a nice ride!

I am with you on this one.

Datsbad 09-07-2006 01:13 PM

Damn that looks nice, Thanks for the link

CRCRFT78 09-07-2006 03:41 PM

Very nice, but I would change the hood to the Pontiac Ram Air Hood that should be on there. Otherwise badass.

Mike Hall 09-07-2006 03:50 PM

That has to be the best looking Firebird I have ever seen. Just think I could have got a good firebird project for $2000. LOL

I agree, I think it's one of the nicest birds I've seen aswell. I still think 1st gens need a rear spoiler of some sort to finish it off.

Mike Hall 09-07-2006 04:10 PM

My 67 camaro will be sporting the no spoiler look as well. I think it makes the car look ultra clean.

Mike

ArisESQ 09-07-2006 05:18 PM

eh i dunno about no spoiler. i guess ive seen a few cars that pull it off, but you need to have your stance nailed along with some really nice wheels with proper offsets.

and that hood does kinda suck. that car minus the hood would be perfect.

I'm with you. Sharp.

Nice car! It's painted the same color as the stripes on my old '69 Camaro.. it's actually lighter than it is showing in the Ebay pics.

Sweet car!

Steve, you bullys! I was not aware of the must race rule?

Car looks nice, but I hate the fuel cell. Does anyone else think the Big hood and front spoiler combination looks funky?

slownova 09-07-2006 09:44 PM

im not much of a fan of front spoilers on firebirds period. but the car is awesome other wise.

I don't like the big hood period. T/A hood would be nice.

trapin 09-08-2006 11:26 AM

T/A hood...spoiler...lose the front air dam. Other than that it's a killer ride.

zcrz 09-09-2006 09:05 PM

Sweet bird indeed, looks like a nice piece.

It could have been negotiated offline...I wonder what the reserve was.

Yeah Steve, is that what really happened? Car was built to be driven, but he wouldn't take it down the 1/4? Not following that one....

For a '67 Firebird, I would of took the $45k and ran.

My offer from PHR was:
"bring the car to the track and we will do a photo shoot"

Let me think about it :rolleyes:

I am on my way :thumbsup:

Scott

XcYZ 09-12-2006 08:33 AM

I know why PHR wants that and I think its a good idea.

I agree, it is a very nice ride that would be that much better with the Ram Air hood instead of the cowl induction hood :yes: .

fatlife 09-12-2006 02:34 PM

yup the big hood is no good. Looks like a weird cross between drag race and road race. If he had a poncho motor, I could see why he would need the hood, but with the LS1 it doesn't make any sense, unless he just liked the way it looked. I have a 3" cowl hood instead of the killer ram air hood on my car, but on second gens carburetor clearance is even worse. The flat hoods don't give you any clearance whatsoever

Yea, Johnny was in Chicago to shoot the Super Chevy drag racing. We knew of this car and told the guy that we would love to shoot it. He said great and that he would come to the event. He bailed at the last moment after Johnny was already in Chicago. Johnny had to find another car.

Hell, what's the big deal about doing a pass or two.. you don't have to max-effort it.. As Steemin, it's no big deal.

Our readers want drivable cars not one's that can even handle a pass or two. :shrug: -- I don't know the whole deal since it was a Johnny thing, but I think the main problem was that he said "ok" then backed out.. that ticks you off when you travel thousands of miles for a shoot..

Yep, you big hoods because you HAVE TO.. on Penny when I got her the hood was needed for carb clearnace.. it would have been lame to run it on the LS2.

fatlife 09-12-2006 08:05 PM

Reminds me of the guys with the mustang 5.0's with the triple stacker dual scoop ram air cowl hoods, with a stock motor under it L-A-M-E lol
