Hi, my car was retained by Pontiac (per PHS) for development and not sold till 1968 (per the guy I bought it from)

I'd have to wonder if our company owner would be interested in helping with the restoration. If not I may be able to get you some kind of assistance discount and my hands if need be. It's an interesting piece and I think the needs to see it again.

A clean up and detail would go a long way but before touching it, wouldn't this be a great as is display find @ MCACN '16?

When I did a google search for &quot;Fitch Firebird&quot; another one popped up linked the this site fully restored with an SOHC sprint motor. Could be a good reference point. It was posted by Belair62 back in 05

Every time I would see it at Pomona, I would think the same thing. Didn't know what it was. I guess it was around 2001, when I quit going...good cars where drying up.

Hi, I used to drive it to Pomona to get a up front parking spot, that way if I bought something I would not have to carry it very far, I drove it there for about 10 years, one time when I was driving in a guy was running backwards filming my car and almost fell down and run over, that is when I stopped driving it, I felt someone was going to steal it, it just brought to much attention, I had a Continental Air Line Pilot that used to try to buy it more than once at that swapmeet, at that time I told him I would take $60,000.00 (I'm glad he didn't but he was close), I could never drive it anywhere without someone wanting to know about the ugly fins, then I was there for about 15 Min. telling them about the car, after a while I got tired of the drama, I'm going to sell it now. Who knows what it's worth, I guess I going to find out.
