Work in progress
1987 Pontiac Firebird
The Build
I found it sitting on a small dealership lot in Middletown Ohio. The dealer said he'd had it over a year and was tired of it because someone broke the door window and stole the battery. It also ran real rough because it had a few bad injectors. I got it for a very good price!
I've had it now over 13 years, but sadly I haven't been able to afford to have it repainted. I'm no longer working as I was diagnosed with and had surgery for pancreatic cancer. I'm now cancer free and rang the bell in January, 2026.
I will continue to enjoy driving it as is.

Trophy Case
- 🏆 I was told I actually won a trophy at a charity car show at the Harrison VFW, but I left thinking I would not win anything! I never got the trophy!
