vernw's 1991 Pontiac FirebirdHere's what I think is a cool mod - I had a friend fabricate an LED display showing my engine size (383) and mounted it into the 3rd brake light receptacle. He is now making these available commercially with whatever you want on them. You can check them out if interested at Custom LED Brake Lights

vernw's 1991 Pontiac FirebirdThis is the logo for our local club - NORTH TEXAS THIRD GEN ASSOCIATION. We meet the 2nd Saturday of each month at Spring Creek Barbeque in Grapevine, TX at 5:00PM. SCB is located on the southwest corner of Hwy. 121 and Main Street in Grapevine. We use this location because it's fairly centrally located for the entire Dallas/Ft. Worth area. If you're in the area, please stop by and see us!!!!

Here's one last picture of the upgraded interior before all the last mods. This one is from Summer, '05.

Having seen and heard your 'bird in person I can attest that it is just pure automotive pornography. :D In 2-4 months mine will be too!
