Default 69 firebird ra4 first daylight in 32 years

32 years ago, i put my ra4 bird in storage and today i pulled it out. funny the first picture was taken when i stopped by my parents house on the way to the warehouse and my dad took some pics. today on the way down there my mom called and wanted me to come by and get some things so i stopped by and decided to recreate the first picture just 32 years later. sadly the only thing that really aged is me.

What’s the plan for this car after decades in hiding?

Any photos of the engine bay, interior or documentation on this rare Bird.

Thanks for sharing that 32 year spread in front of that house. Very cool!

Chris

I'm not a Pontiac guy, but that is Awesome. What a rare car. How many ra4 Firebirds did they make in 1969, anybody know?

"sadly the only thing that really aged is me."

I don't know: that trailer is looking well used. Yes, I realize it isn't the same trailer.

That neighborhood looks familiar. NW OKC?

I was thinking both he and the trailer look a little....heavier.

(lol)

Just kidding. Looking good.

I'm jealous of the weather.

This is what it looks like working outside today in the Motor City; about 22 degrees.
