A flock of Bird 'verts

This is a pic from the recent Trans Am Country "Firebird" car show held at the Doug Henry dealership in Goldsboro NC on 10/22/05. It appears Doug is a big-time 3rd gen fan (he had another on the shop lift being modded). Anyway, I don't know all the details on these 'birds, they were in pretty nice shape overall. My convertible is not in this photo (I did win the trophy for best 3rd gen at this show though ).

Looks like going back in time to 1991/1992

Ive always wondered what the dealerships looked like with a bunch of spanking new 3rd gens on them.

Looks like they are all either '91s or '92s... my personal favorites.

Great taste for a dealer!

Are they just for display, out of his personnal collection?
Or are they for sale?
They sure do look nice!

I believe he just had them on display for this show from some he has collected through the years. So I don't think they're part of his dealer stock. But being he is a car dealer, I'm sure some of them can be bought.

They're not for sale, but they did accidently show up on autotrader two years ago when I was looking for mine. I about crapped my pants when I saw 5-6 of the cars I wanted for sale at one dealer! I talked to a sales guy trying to figure out whether they were for sale or not. Seems some are stock, some are highly modified.
