Pics of my 91 Bird

I've been a member here for over a year now and have bever posted pics of my old and current Birds, here are some of my 91 305 5 speed with no power options including AC delet. I know it's probably not the most desirable but Im sure it's pretty rare iv'e never seen another optioned liked this one.

The original owner told me he originaly wanted to get a 5.7 in it when he ordered but it was not available without options and AC delete so he ended up with a 305 TBI stripper model his plane was to drop a 350 in it but never got around it the car is all stock except for the wheels. All criticsm is welcomed.

5.7 Would have been nice. I had that same exact dent in my old drivers side fender as you do. Besides that, looks clean. Nice bird.

I would love to drop a 5.7 liter in it myself but the car is so original and well documented I doubt i can bring myself to do it, i'll just try and beef up the 305 as much as I can.

beefing up the 305 would make it non original, and if your looking for the original path i believe it would make it non original right?

Yes it would make certian parts un original but at least the block will remaine original and if i ever decided to put it back to stock it would be much less hassle then overhauling the entire engine.

No criticism here! That car is pretty sharp, really like the color and the wheels look great. How many miles are on her?

very nice, even if it a no option car. Thats ok! Great color. If it were me, I'd put a 91-92 formy spoiler on the back. Do you have any plans for it?

beautiful!! never put ground effects on it! the only thing i would do to the exterior is paint the door trim body color. and also a formula or trans am spoiler.

total lack of options is what u want on a formula thats the whole idea of the car

EDIT: just realized its not a formula. oh well make it a formula

Im planning on getting some 91-92 Ronal Firehawk wheels but boy are they expensive.

I like the C5 but I've had them for a while now, I think it's time for a change.
