Re: Father and Son - First Car

Hi there,
I like the Polo Green too, nice work. Are you going to put the gold stripes on it? I thought it was a great color combo in 1992 when it came out.

Re: Firebird Camaro trans am parts over 40 cars parted

Hi there,
do you have the antenna wire that goes from the back of the radio to the firewall, the one that goes under the dash? The one in my 1991 Firebird broke in half so I can't repair it.

Re: Hidden Treasures

Hi there,
A 350 is a nice engine, I bet the car is already peppy. You might be better off sticking with the 350 and selling the 400. You might even make some money.
