Today is my Third-Gens 20th Birthday and or Anniversary! It was born on August 27th, 1992.

Thank you JT for reminding me!!!

Leonard

 

Happy birthday! Hope you're doing something special with it, like a trip to the White Castle drive thru for some birthday sliders or something

 

I know what you should do, take some high res pics and post them for us all to help you celebrate its birth.

 

Happy 20th 92 F-cars!

I found this on a car I bought that had been repaired. Its the front bumper support.

 

Agreed! Happy Birthday!

 

Happy B-day

 

Lol, treat her good today.

And be sure to take pictures and show us her 20-year-old glory.

 

One of these days I will get it dug out of storage and have JT take some High Res photos for you.

 

It's great that the last Third Gen is present and accounted for. While we're at it here, does anyone know what the first Third Gen was and where it is today? I imagine that's probably more difficult, given it could have been a magazine test car or maybe even a crash test car! I did try to search the board on this but got a ton of "my first third gen" posts that I got tired of searching through after two or so pages.

What about that last Firebird that was in front of the last Camaro on the front page? do we know what became of it?

 

We do. You'll probably be sorry you asked...

12/29/1999 AL State Agency RIGHT FRONT IMPACT WITH A NON-BREAKAWAY SIGN (Case #:9121557)

It met with what academics like to call an "unceremonious conclusion."

 

Thanks. Guilstrand's gold '82 Z28 should be turned over to Leonard S., IMHO. That way he'd have custody of the 1st and last 3rd Gen. And we'd have everything in between!

 

So it got hit in the passenger side and got trashed/crushed? I kinda had the suspicion that something bad happened to it. Almost always does with memorable or special cars of any breed. Some people just don't care, they think it's just a car.

 

Saying something hit it is like saying "I hit his fist with my face," LOL! Read it closely. It says "impact with a non-breakaway sign." I read that to mean Sign 1 Firebird 0. Put another way, the sign didn't move during the calamity. The car, well....that's the last entry in the Carfax chronicle of its all-too-short life, so we can probably safely assume that was its last wild night on earth.
