    Back when cars had not just character, but class. Wonderful thing done for a wonderful man who sacrificed so much.

      I had a 1977 olds 442 stolen. If my kids would do
      something like that. I would be doing the tailpipe.

    And Dad is so cool...he never said a thing about the hood not having scoops... well raised family.. nobody had to tell them what the right thing to do is...they knew from being raised the right way... more people like this...!

      @TheAlfaritos  2 года назад +10

      He originally had the 400 manual with the mean looking scoops on the hood. Now, opted for the 326 auto because he no longer has the use of his left leg. He is unable to drive a stick. He was elated either way though and is so happy for the cruiser. Thank you for your kind words. More comments like this!

      @@TheAlfaritos So wonderful that you were able to give him back his beloved car, even though it wasn’t the exact car. I appreciate that you selected one that would suit his physical capabilities. I also had a 1967 Verdoro green Firebird that I sadly sold around 50 years ago, so this video is special to me as well. Btw, the 400 he is kneeling in front of in the photo is actually a 1968. The wrap-around front parking light started in ‘68, along with the rear side lights and the lack of front wing windows.

    Tell your dad my history:
    In 1989 I purchased my first car , was a 1985 white Pontiac Firebird standard transmission. Drove pretty good at the mountains in Monterrey NL and around my hometown y el Nevado de Toluca. I took it to Toluca Mexico and brought my family on it .

    What a wonderful story and amazing gift of love you gave! My first car (1973) was a 1968 Pontiac Firebird 350 in black with red interior. My parents made me sell it the fall of '74 after my 2nd accident in it. I tracked it down once in the mid 80s with intent to buy it back, but the owner wouldn't part with it. I've seen a few since then, but none with that color combination. The 1968 came with a 350 base and the 400 with hood scoops. Mine had a fold down rear seat to a platform that worked well for transporting my guitars and amps to band practice. I think about that car often. All I have left are a few photos. And the dime-sized cigarette burn I put in the drivers seat. It was a head turner and sounded great with glass packs and side pipes.
