Bill Schenk owns this award-winning Firebird. Love the flame job!! Bill writes: "Hey I had purchased this firebird 1 year ago from a guy in South Carolina. The body had no rust but the interior and engine needed a major overhaul. Since then my brother, father and I have restored it to close to original. We just finished it about a month ago. I recently won my first award at the Hatboro Moonlight Memories Car Show in PA. I know it will be the first of many. As you can tell it is not stock but we kept it moderately stock. The custom flames were done at a local body shop in Pa. We added the 400 look just because it looks meaner. The engine has been completely worked over and rebuilt."

Yet another awesome convertible. The owner of this bird has blacked out the Rally IIs and painted the spokes yellow to match the paint. Pretty cool effect. |
