Default Bickelfirebird car for sale??

I was looking around on racingjunk and ran across a car that looks a LOT like his.

http://www.racingjunk.com/exec/ca/vi...-Trans-Am.html

The motor is a SBC not a BBC but other than that looks the same...

I never understood how they can call that a 2002 Trans Am. Did it originallly start out as one? It's a tube chassis...

funny, a thread with his name on it and hes nowhere to be found but he's pretty quick at responding to threads that have nothing to do with him and his 7sec race car

Unless Steve moved, that's not his car. Looks similar, but I really don't think it is.

That is definitely not my car guys. Just click the pic in my sig and you can mine at my site. Bickel changed the scoop last week to get more clearance over the carbs, but otherwise mine still looks like my sig.

Well, yea, it's not often that I run across a thread about my car or what might be my car. Putting a direct port nos system on it this week so I've been distracted.

Yeah I saw the car and it looked real similar and you have your location as the pits etc.

You 5.40's in a 1900# car isnt fantastic but a 5.40 is pretty quick

That is a nice car. I would love to find a 98+ firebird to make a race car or already setup as a race car.

I had it for sale on Racing Junk. I'm now making a new hood for it and pulled all the graphics off. It is still for sale if you are interested.
