I'm just curious but are you asking where this car is today or is this a for sale ad or just a heads up on this old '69 Firebird Trans Am race car.

Wondering the same thing.

Just found the old pictures just sharing. Many people have never seen this combo. I have a lot of friends out there who have never seen this car as it was obsolete before it was ever campaigned.

Cool looking intake for pontiac.

Hemi Moose · 02-21-2012, 05:15 PM

Since the photos posted are old ones, do you know where the car ended up or if it was sold less motor...could it possibly be this car today?

Hemi Moose... it is not the car you posted. That car was built in Winnipeg by Chris Derksen. He sold it a year or two back but it still runs at Gimli Dragways in Manitoba. I think the new owner is from Northern MB.
