New toy
The bronze and gold T/A I got to build in my wife's memory was lost in a garage fire. So after searching I found a 92 fire bird ,305 TBI,700R4 with a shift kit. posi rear 411 gears. Bought it from a mechanic. 187,000 on body , engine recently rebuilt. Sending to paint &body soon. Almost forgot how much fun these are! I think she's looking down on it with a big smile!

Re: New toy
Thank's Dyno I've been away from site for a while. Thinking about changing 411's to 373's. Ran my VIN for insurance,found out it's a formula

Re: New toy
Please post some pics once paint and bodywork are done. Looks like a good one to start with. Any other restoration plans? I'm like you in regards that I forgot how fun these third gens are, mines a blast to drive. My Iroc might not be the best one out there, but always puts a smile on my face!

Re: New toy
Going to put sail and nose birds on, dress up the engine, interior work, possibly cam kit and stall converter. Maybe a cowl hood.

Re: New toy
Interesting vin says its a Formula. Has the wrong rear spoiler and didn't think Formulas came with the ground effects. I've got a 91 Formula. Love it.
Good luck.
