Might be getting an UGLY 82 Firebird

So my dad has this friend hes known since 80's.They grew up together,had a band,they were good friends.The only problem with this guy was/is, he is a HUGE pack rat. He has crap that shouldve been gone years and years ago. Including a 65 mustang with a rotted out body,and no trunk.So before they graduated, My dads friend got a 82 Firebird. Made it a complete dork looking car. IMO,it looks like a large Delorean. He put Louvers on it,then painted them to match the car. He also got a whale tail for it. I guess the story is,he got really made fun of, got upset,and put the car in the garage back in 95. Its been there ever since. He finally is considering getting rid of it after he saw the work put into mine. I might pick it up and restore it if he decides to get rid of her. I just thought id post some info on it for you guys to see. Because the pictures made me laugh to be honest haha Its got a 305 with no mods other than a really cheap and shitty sounding muffler. The body has some holes in it. Nothing too bad. It would be a PITA but its still restorable. Here ya go!



You can see the hole by he rear marker light
