What I owned prior to my NB...

These are pictures of my 1970 Pontiac Firebird Esprit.

Sadly it's not in my stable anymore. But I did find a good home for it. It was just more of a money pit than I could handle at the time.

No air condition, constant body/paint issues. Interior age issues etc. etc.
Lack of time and money...
I am sure some folks can understand that.

WOW! Too bad you couldn't hold on to that gem. That is a great project to restore. Then there's the time and money factor and storage. Ah, so many desires... so little resources. Thanks for sharing the pics!

When I was a kid my grandpa had a '70 Pontiac Lemans. I was still a bit young w/ no money when they sold their property and etc. moving into a small apt. in town. I wanted that car so bad--never told a soul until now. It was black and had a similar nose and profile to your former Firebird. Found a pic of what it looked like--had the factory wheels, etc. of course. I remember my grandpa taking me to breakfast one morning doing a burn-out for fun! Wheeeeeeee.......

Here is a couple I still have...

[Marauder]

Wow those are some nice rides. Yeah I really didn't want the pontiac to go. I had some good plans for it. I really like the Model A Touring? Am I close? I have a hard time identifying the old classics sometimes.

[Marauder]

wawalker- Yeah those were some running machines. Of course the GTO got all the glory but there was nothing wrong with the Lemans as far as I am concerned. It was a counterpart to mine.

Gto-Lemans

Trans Am - Firebird

Both were good cars some just always got the glory because of a name.

It is a 1931 Model A Fordor. The other one is a 1984 Mustang GT350 20th Anniversary edition. The one I don't have any pictures of the one I wish I would of kept. It was a 1967 Subeam Tiger...

I've always been a Ford or German car person

There are more pictures of these in my photo albums.

One day I'll shoot some of "Herbie Jr." and post them.

my E30 & E34 BMW's and of course my Porsche (this pic was when i was stationed in Korea, why i brought my Porsche with me i'll never know)

Another car of mine that I am trying to find a picture of somewhere that I will have to scan is my 1977 Volkswagen Rabbit "Champagne" edition. It was a gold/beige color outside with maroon interior that was velour. I remember my grandparents bought it and it had a Audi Fox on the steering wheel. I inherited it and drove it to high school.

Anyone remember these cars? My parents also had a VW Dasher...don't remember what year it was but they got it during the gas crunch in the 70's.

Hopefully I can find some pics of both of them.
