View Full Version : Anticipating the release of Firebird series.
Porsche911GT3 03-26-2004, 11:21 PM I'd definitely like to see your car done, Mike!
Well that's 2--->Rob's SE and Mike's Formula.
And then there's always the '80 Pace Car which PM already has the casting and similar paint scheme for.
superduty455 03-27-2004, 01:15 AM Well, we have my friends car, which is a Gold S/E 78 Trans Am. That make's 3!
Half way to series 3.
CTWLSMIKE--Nice Formula, and good call on the wheels! LOL
Chris
Swifty 03-27-2004, 01:45 AM Well I finally took a little initiative and scanned an OLD polaroid of my very first car and sadly, my only Firebird! She was a beautiful electric blue '78 Formula with SNOWFLAKE wheels, for those of you who are particular about wheels! :wave: :tongue:
It'd be great to see PM do one of these!
That car rocks! I'd love to see it in 1/64!
superduty455 03-27-2004, 09:20 AM A little birdie told me that we would see more Firebirds, just wasn't sure when.
I better go feed that little birdie....
Chris
robmcin 03-27-2004, 10:33 AM Maybe feed the little birdie a nice steak for lunch, eh???
96cutlass 03-27-2004, 12:00 PM I'm still waiting for the 80s casting...
robmcin 03-27-2004, 12:45 PM me, too!!

RobDog 03-27-2004, 03:35 PM Well, any more pictures???

robmcin 03-27-2004, 06:50 PM Maybe????
robmcin 03-27-2004, 10:49 PM maybe not?
robmcin 03-27-2004, 11:02 PM how come we don't get pics of beautiful women?
robmcin 03-27-2004, 11:34 PM hi ho hi ho a posting I will go
Me, too!
robmcin 03-27-2004, 11:38 PM Hey Rob
the reason you don't get the pics of woman on that post is because they are all over here having fun
Fun laughing at you guys maybe!!! :tongue:

Swifty 03-28-2004, 01:22 AM Is this a Firebird?
http://www.wreckedexotics.com/newphotos/bad/bad314.jpg
It was. The B pillar tells me it was a '93-'02 F-Body. The hood shows cutouts for pop-up headlights. Since the Camaro never offered pop-ups, it has to be a Firebird.
robmcin 03-28-2004, 08:21 AM ouch!!
Porsche911GT3 03-28-2004, 04:32 PM Well, let's bring the master of all threads back to the top where it's supposed to be! :devil:
robmcin 03-28-2004, 05:50 PM ok!!!
superduty455 03-28-2004, 06:26 PM So, I wonder when we'll see series three Firebirds? Will it be in 2004 or early 2005?
Chris
robmcin 03-28-2004, 06:37 PM ummm, I'll guess 2005
Porsche911GT3 03-28-2004, 09:28 PM I wanna see PM make this exact car...
http://www.musclecarcalendar.com/CVC112.jpg
superduty455 03-28-2004, 10:22 PM I just wanna see PM make more Firebirds.
Chris
Porsche911GT3 03-28-2004, 10:24 PM Yeah, well we gotta give 'em ideas...
superduty455 03-28-2004, 10:25 PM Ideas nothing man. I sent a cd full of images of Firebirds for them. They got tons of pictures. We just have to sit and wait I guess.
Chris
superduty455 03-28-2004, 10:28 PM With the castings they have now, series three is as close as a re-tampo!
1977/78 Bandit
1978 S/E Y88 Gold
1973 Brewster Green
1980 Turbo Pace car
1972 Cameo White
1979 Chestnut Brown
That's a pretty good mixture. Of course, Pace cars could be done. Plus I believe their are some castings we have yet to see.
Chris
Porsche911GT3 03-28-2004, 10:29 PM Well, look at how many active Firebird fans are on HT....I can only count about 5-6.
I guess they aren't selling well, and I have no clue WHY! No other diecast company makes good castings in 1:64 like PM.
Porsche911GT3 03-28-2004, 10:31 PM With the castings they have now, series three is as close as a re-tampo!
1978 S/E Y88 Gold
1973 Brewster Green
1980 Turbo Pace car
Yep, that's pretty much what I told LT1Tony, and he said he'll mention it at meetings. Gotta make room for more CLUE cars! :mad: :freak:
superduty455 03-28-2004, 10:37 PM Also, they could do a black 98-02 WS-6 Trans Am. Or my favorite one the Hurst/Lingenfelter Trans Am:

Chris
Porsche911GT3 03-28-2004, 10:40 PM You just reminded me, the other day I saw a WS-6 with big 20 inch spinners :lol:....looked funky.

Well, Like I mentioned earlir. Series 3 is coming, just not sure when.
Also, I wonder how many Firebirds are peg warming anywhere? I know that here in MN from Mpls. through Rochester we haven't got any.
I do know different regions sell more cars than others. I'd really like to know how well the series did. We know that V-dubs sell well, and Camaro's sell well. How bout these birds?
Chris
73roadrunner 03-28-2004, 10:47 PM Don't see to many in my area......bought my first '68 the other day :cool:
Porsche911GT3 03-28-2004, 10:47 PM Chris, I mentioned this in the contest thread...
Don't these wheels remind you of Rallye wheels, I think they'd look good on the proper Firebirds. (they're the best we have to go by for right now)

superduty455 03-28-2004, 10:48 PM Went to World of Wheels with some friends today and saw a tuner with spinners. I don't neccesarily like them, however a few SUV's I've seen look good with them. Just a fad.

And if that isn't bad enough you can still be "spinnin'" with your shoes on:

superduty455 03-28-2004, 10:50 PM Yeah, Magnum 500's are close, but I think the wheels they put on the series 2 yellow 68(flyin68bird) car look pretty darn good too.
Chris
Porsche911GT3 03-28-2004, 10:54 PM Must.... Keep... Firebird...thread.... Alive!
superduty455 03-28-2004, 11:00 PM Well, I know one thing. The thread views won't get beaten.
superduty455 03-28-2004, 11:02 PM It's begininng to look like a race to 1200
hmmmmmmm.
superduty455 03-28-2004, 11:05 PM Here's a nice Turbo bird on ebay. Fetching 13,6 right now!
http://i12.ebayimg.com/03/i/01/90/12/50_3.JPG
superduty455 03-28-2004, 11:07 PM This one is even nicer, but the price tag seems a bit steep:
http://i12.ebayimg.com/03/i/01/8f/2c/9c_1_b.JPG
27,500 :eek:
Chris
superduty455 03-28-2004, 11:11 PM Ouch, This one has one to many zero's
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=2470438380&category=6420
$50g's. I don't think so
superduty455 03-28-2004, 11:14 PM The 69 Fatbird casting could still be used too! Projects in progress:
http://i18.ebayimg.com/03/i/01/8d/46/d1_1_s.JPG
Or not
Chris
superduty455 03-28-2004, 11:19 PM It appears that I am all alone in this thread.
superduty455 03-28-2004, 11:21 PM 27" rims, don't think these will fit on the Firebid
http://i17.ebayimg.com/03/i/01/8c/0b/e2_1_s.JPG
superduty455 03-28-2004, 11:24 PM So, is like anyone coming in here to help or?
superduty455 03-28-2004, 11:27 PM FHM names Britney Spears sexiest woman in the world. Huh, go figure.
superduty455 03-28-2004, 11:29 PM Well at least they photographed her on a GTO
http://www.fhm.com/site/sexiest/britney/img/8big.jpg
superduty455 03-28-2004, 11:35 PM What? No one likes britney on a GTO?
