Re: All Members One Pic ONLY!
I agree, and black paint takes away from the one negative on the early firebirds- the bumperettes. This is a very nice car and I'm usually all for originality but on this one my votes for black....Or red always looks good - right Drew?

Re: All Members One Pic ONLY!
Maybe we had the same neighbor? I had someone two doors down that had a red and black IROC, an early 20 year old lady had it. Always has been my favorite color combo for the IROC. that and Black and Silver. a lot of them were around though but not the black and red.
