Ricks Fitch Firebird...very rare Bird

Finally got the scanner to work... so I scanned a few pictures.
Jon, here's a picture from behind.

Here's one of the front screen. The screen is hard to made out, I hard to remake that and it's thinner than the original so it washes out in pictures.

Here' one of John Fitch with the car at Lime Rock race track in 2000 or 2001.

Last... Here's a picture of my car with 2 other Fitch cars.
The car in the top half center picture is a 67 Fitch Corvair. THe Corvair has a Fitch fiberglass roof extension, a bunch of suspension and engine mods. THe other car on the left (& behind in botton picture) is a 67 Fitch Phoenix, the only one made, he was taking orders when the Federal mandiate changes for 68 were passed and he didn't update the design due to cost, so it went away. It was supposed to be a run of 500 cars, it's based on a Corvair drivetrain and the body was made in Italy I believe. Looks almost like a 80% scale 68 Vette. Orders were taken through Abacrombie & Fitch stores.

Thanks for all the pics and the stories, Rick. Very cool seeing Fitch with those cars at Lime Rock, basically in his back yard. The front end on the black car looks a little more like a scaled down Pantera than a Corvette.
