Earlier model though (70 or 71 maybe?) with the more rounded nose.
It had a 454 I think? Gold metallic paint and the Honeycomb wheels. It would have been just a couple of years old back then.
The owner was the son of a local used car dealer. He blew the transmission trying to outrun the police one night. Ended up with a driving ban as well as a broken Firebird.
So the car sat for a couple of years in the front window of the showroom. I used to take a long detour home from school so that I could press my nose against the glass and dream of owning a car like that one day.
when i get time i will my bro that owned several of them if coming over ill try to pick his no.......,i mean brainRedRaven wrote:Drew that would rock..I need all the info I can get on the 455!!!

Not that hes pissed or anything its just he is a grumpy old man after all!!
Cant wait to get stuck into the article at tea!!!
If thats what you want Wayne then you should go for it! There are a lot of G.M. people over here,(and probably there too), that would gladly trade for a MoPar. Just wait till HollyWood comes out with another shmokey and the bandit movie. A lot of lemmings over here will want one, BAD!!RedRaven wrote:Oh my god what have I started!!
Dont get me wrong guys..Id sell the T/A tomorrow and gladly buy a 70RR with a 440-6!!
