Arlie,

The 1967 Firebird left last night. Ended up being 132 hours of labor. It runs and drives like new!!! By the time it was done it was 13k total in parts and labor. But $3k of the parts was a March Pulley system and a complete exhaust system with ceramic coated manifolds.

By the way, I love this song and this video!!! Trust me neither of Mustangs would lean like the one in this vid does going around the corner. By the way the lady is WAY pretty!!! I am starting to like 1967 Firebirds!!!

Probably, I think Chrysler was the only company with that split induction system, but I'm not sure.

Rob,

Don't forget about the 69 Z-28 with the cross ram intake. In the 60's and early 70's I would go down to L.A. to visit my cousin in the summers and there was a guy that lived in his neighborhood that had a Z-28 and when he opened the hood and we saw the intake we went nuts. Coolest thing I'd ever seen as an 11 or 12 year old kid. My cousin lived on the corner of Airport Blvd and 79th st. in Westchester and across the street sat a Sunbeam Tiger, on the opposite corner there was a Plymouth Superbird and down the street was the Z-28. We were in muscle car heaven to say the least.

Cheers,

Ron
