Default Helmut`s 1970 Firebird

Eureka, Montana or Bust! Helmut congrats on your newest ride! We can only hope the original springs do not break with Jim behind the wheel all the way to Montana.

Check out the originality of this fine Bird.








69K for mileage...it will have 70K by the time Jim gets it to you.





That`s not an RPO item







Appears to have leaked at some point.



Needs a slight wheel alignment













Dan.

Honeycomb wheels were not available on the 70 Firebird. The correct wheels are 14x7 Rally II wheels with a JS code.

Noooo . . . . Why make such a nice original a rolling cliche? EVERYONE slaps on some mags. This car has poverty caps with trim rings. Doesn't it look nice enough as a good example of a car that's hard to find stock to begin with?
