I live in Lake in the Hills myself.. I officially own a 91 firebird, but I won't be in possession until, well, I don't know! I bought the gorgeous gray 91 back in August on vacation in so. cal. (desert car).. It's showroom condition inside out minus the blown motor :-) So I'm waiting to buy a new motor for it and have my dad swap it for me so I can drive it back home.

Now for my hot-rod I drive a Ford - a 69 fastback Mustang.

well, the IDEA behind this car is to use it as an economical replacement for my t-bird.. The current motor is a 3.1, and I'm lookin to get a 3.4L motor for it so I can do a somewhat painless swap. I thought about the whole 350 route, but I don't want to deal with suspension, cooling, electronics, etc... My 91 t-bird is a pretty damn good car for a 6 banger ford - 140k miles and still pulling strong, I almost hate to sell that car off in the future - but this firebird is mint inside and out..
