    With the fire bird, being some what of a America Classic.. I would like to see some kind of a full restore (Budget wise) like you did with the Porche.

    • @byronmills5952
      @byronmills5952 9 месяцев назад +6

      Agreed these 1970s 2nd generation Firebirds and all their variants are iconic American classics recognised throughout the world. This car fully deserves some sympathetic restoration treatment. Considering it's been idle for so long it's in remarkable shape.

      Most of his Formulas gad hood slits like GTO. James Garner owned his own production co. so he got to choose what car he drove on the show. He liked Firebirds and there was a Pontiac dealer nearby the studio office.

    • @frogpondfarmanddairy

      Rockford did not drive formulas. He drove esprit’s. The base model. None of his cars ever had the formula hood

    If your universal joints are too loose, making them difficult to use, wrap some electrical tape around the center to keep the joint from relaxing to either side. Good score on the lift.
