That Cougar interior still has carpet!!! Unbelievable!

Jon, if you still don't think posting this picture from Racing Spots Cars is appropriate, please feel free to delete my post, I don't want to rub anyone the wrong way.

I don't mean to be too negative but I'd be heartbroken to know somebody altered Jon's car in such a way. Jon you did a fantastic job on your car while you had it. Fantastic car for sure.

Great read, awesome cars. I find it funny how many stories of SD Firebirds being ordered using ingenious methods since they were not very easy to get.

That man seems truly amazing. Parkinsons is a very tough way to see yourself go, especially as articulate and learned as he must have been. He was way too young. Condolences for his wife, I hope she doesn't let her heart break over this.

Interesting on the T/A prototype, as the rear 'wing' has a Judge and (later) Buick GSX vibe to it.

Way off topic here, sorry gents, but: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VRy2qLeaX5E

Thank you for the reply, Warren, I just now saw it. Definitely served you well to stock up on this stuff.

$1000 wasn't cheap 30 years ago. I mean you could've probably gotten a solid first gen Z28 with 80k miles and little to no rust in running daily drivable condition for what, 7-10k max?
Me being a pontiac guy, heck you could have the same condition 1970 T/A for probably $1-3k.
Ok enough rambling.

Absolutely astonishing, kinda ironic that some of these photo's have aged very well and look like yesterday. Thanks for posting!

I am not asking about prices or brash things such as that, but i simply want to know: How and where in the heck did you manage to find a genuine NOS fiberglass cowl induction hood for a '69 Z28?

I am absolutely dumbfounded. and shocked.....
