The firebird has long since been parked.

I bought some all season tires for my '94 SHO and have been loving the snow! Something about 220 HP + 5-speed + FWD = fun (this time of year)!

question

If it only has 39K original miles, what happened to the car that caused it to need body work? Was it in an accident? Otherwise, why is it primer grey instead of a 39K mile paint job?
