If I knew my Aunt was selling this one I would have bought it instead of the 96 Thunderbird.

Sorry............ it has been a very slow day.

That brings back memories. I used to cruise around Edmonton with my older cousin when I was a teen in his '89 Z28. White/gold auto with a cross-fire. I was amazed with the car and it is the reason I got bitten by the RWD full size domestic coupe bug. Up until that point I was all about my Subarus and VW's.

So I guess because my 3.8 busted a rod, and THEN caught on fire...IT'S a piece of shiznit to make stereotyped fun of?

No, there are so many other reasons. ;)

I think my neighbor is the reason that I associate red 3rd Gen. F-bodys with mullets and rednecks. Why must stereotypes be true sometimes?

I had a second gen '76 Camaro. Now THAT was a mullet mobile.

If I could have afforded a decent one, I would have been driving an '80s Camaro or Firebird.
Cougars had been on back of my mind and truthfully weren't even thought of until I spotted mine in the Classifieds.

I owned a '79 Firebird with a 305 in it. I was always embarrased to be seen driving it. I didn't like the way it looked and it was a real dog - I never raced anybody in it as I didn't want to be embarrased. If my aunt hadn't sold it to me for a song when I was short on cash while in college, I wouldn't even have considered it. It was nothing like my '69 GTO musclecar (where I originally formed my fondness for Pontiacs). I replaced it with my first Cougar (the '83) and have been a happy Ford man since.

My buddy has a '77 Firebird with a 400 Ram Air IV Pontiac. Looks like  (he's in the process of repainting it) but goes like hell:hick:

I like it. I'm not a big fan of red cars but I had a '84 Z28 5.0 HO 5 speed when I was in high school. Mine was tan with gold ground effects with the same style interior only tan in color and had t-tops. When I bought it there was only 59k on it. Very fun car, too much fun maybe. 305's aren't all that bad. Valve seals wore out quickly and they had soft cams that wore quick as well. I put a Comp Cams Extreme Energy 262/270* .462/.469" a Weiand stealth intake and a carter 625 with shorty headers and flowmaster single 3" on it. Ask anyone that has seen that car run and you will not hear anything bad about that 305. It could clean the 255/50/16 tires in every gear except 5th

Hmm, it is clean, and that is the wierdest speedo I've ever seen.

My buddy had a 92 with a 305, and he had 4.08''s in it with a posi and cat-back.  It  did alright for itself.  Faster than my Bird of course.  Then I got the T/A and gave him a ride and he was like "Dear God"... saved up to swap an LS1 into it but sold it right before and used the money to buy a Jeep.  Strange guy, don't talk to him much anymore, but he loved that car, then overnight sold it to another friend for beans.

You're right. That is strange. If it went higher than 140 I'd actually like it.
