About my Firebird

I bought it for 500 bucks from a guy, but the original deal was a 1000 for a running all numbers matching 78 tras am , primered gray with a rotted out truck and floor boards... not a bad deal but i started knockin half way to work right after i payed the initial 500 that mornin  (was gonna pay other 500 after i got off work) so he came and towed it to my house and called 500 bucks a deal with an extra hood, truck lid, and 4 mis-matched spare tires to go along with it all.  since then i've pulled the oem 400 and put a '76 olds 455 in there puttin out 390 ponies and 500 ft-lbs of motivation.
