The Accidental '79 Firebird
Posted: Sun Oct 20, 2019 10:34 pm
You guys may have browsed through my "junk or project fodder" thread where I picked up three poor old forgotten Honda motorcycles. Friend of a friend passed away had them. His son was trying to clean out the garage so he can sell the house. Two Honda 750s and a Honda 400 Hawk.
And this Firebird.
Complete extra engine freshly built never fired. New crank, rods and pistons, rebuilt heads, two turbo350s, engine stand and the hoist thrown into the deal. Also pick up truck bed full of associated bits and pieces for the car including new in the box performer intake and carburetor. Numerous other new and used parts of boxes the guy was collecting to do a restoration. Arizona car. Zero rust.
I am embarrassed to even say what I paid for the car, but the young man simply wanted it out of the garage. So we came back for the car after we took the motorcycles home! Right place right time?
