1972 Formula Firebird, bought in 1978 when I was in high school. It was in a barn in Mason City Iowa.
455 Super Duty motor (dry sump). Since I was in Auto Mech school at the time, and had access to lots of tools and no place else to spend my money,
Balanced, bored, stroked, Blueprinted, crossover intake, 2 Holley 4 bbl carbs, high lift competition cam
over 550 HP. 4 Speed Hurst Transmission, heavy duty clutch and rebuilt differential with traction bars.
Sold it for 3X what I bought it for in 1982 to pay for college. I miss the car but it was a good trade. I see really clean samples today sell for over 6 figures.
