thats a nice color combo!

Although I am more partial to the camaro/firebird body style to the chevelle /GTO body.

Same power lighter weight!

still a great car though

He bought it new while he was in college. Can't find any pics right now...maybe Big Time has some.

It's not the original(325 HP) motor. I think its about a 440 CID with 450 HP now. He doesn't race it or anything. He just drives it through the beach on Sunny Sunday's checking out the chicks in bikinis.

You painting your rig? Paint it black it is slimming and will make look longer

The paint on my Cafe was $20K including pop up nav light and new cleats as well my swim platform and rails.

That price included stripping too. All top of the line paint and 10-12 coats of clear. If you saw the boat up close it was amazing detail especially the carbon fiber logo. This stuff ain't cheap but it updates an older boat.

Oh, and Big Time had the most ridiculous 1977 Firebird Formula. Canary yellow with yellow honeycomb rims. Had to register it in Maine where there are no rules. The thing didnt have a catalytic converter, seat belts didnt work, etc.
