Default The Car Ive Always Wanted...

Well im deffinatly not new to the Fbody scene but finally after owning 4 of them i got to the one ive wanted since the start but never had the money... (traded my Camaro for it) This thing is amazingly clean for 90,000 miles and very bone stock.

Heres a few pics i just washed it off but sorry i live on a dirt road and i just got it.






I know for most of you this isnt much but to me this is my car ive always wanted and its great to finally have it and at the age of 17

Looks good man. I don't know what all those guys are talking about. Keep the stock wheels and balloon tires. They're perfect if you have to drive it on a dirt road every day.

I wish I got the car of my dreams at 17. At 17 I got a damn V6 hardtop in the wrong color (I'm 20 now). At the time, this was the car of my dreams.

That said, if I got it I'd probably be dead by now. Congrats, keep it safe.

Agreed and its cool as long as the foot prints aren't too big.

I think those are the best factory non ws6 wheels for the firebird and its what held me off from upgrading right away. Its taken me 6 years to go have 3 fbodies already so your ahead of schedule!
