2-owner car.  Always been right here in west Kentucky.  WS6, Fisher top 1st place winner at the Nats "C" class- second gen stock.  Very nice straight car with minor imperfections.  The worst is the trunk deck lid, which is a shade different color and must have been painted at some long-ago time.  Interior and engine are both nice and clean.  No major wear, as there shouldn't be any on a low-mileage car like this one.  It was featured in HPP's 50th Anniversary Special magazine (which comes with the car, as well as its trophies). Also featured in the 2004 Firebird Calendar published by Wings Ablaze n Tampa, Florida.  They can be restored, but are only original once.  Always garaged.  Never been in rain/snow.  Its stablemates are the 1990 Bandit 2 show car and the 2002 SLP Firehawk show car I have listed.

Pics start at page 14 and go through page 16.  Thanks for checking it out.

I was wondering which City in Kentucky you are in .I would like to get an estimate from Mackie car mover's to see how much this would be for transport .
In March before the gas prices went up ,it was $2,500 from Luckey Ohio .
I would hate to drive is 2 K with low milelage like that on it .

I waited almosr two hours that afternoon for the showers to stop, before the owner would even open the climate-controlled garages.  They didn't get wet- guaranteed.  I am listing these for the owners.  The '90 and the '02 belong to mom and dad.  the 78 Marty belongs to the son.  Due to the mother's illness , the parents are selling their cars and their son isn't going to go to the shows alone so I am listing all the cars.  That is the extent of my involvement.  I do not negotiate or know thew full history on the cars.  I know all the important stuff, but anyone who is seriously interested can contact me and I will  set you up with the owner of the car you have questions about.  Thanks.

Thank's again for the info Mike .

I talked to Andy yesterday and he seem's like a  great Guy .
I have requested a shipping quote from Mackie car mover's ,and if it's not to ridiculous ,I am  pretty sure I am going to buy the car.

I am paying top dollar for the car ,but it is so clean and low mileage that I believe it is worth it !

I love the interior ,pretty much what I want . I can live with the paint color I guess ,although I think it would look killer painted black with the SE stripe package and the wheel's refinished and painted gold like the 78 SE

btw I was kidding about the rain lol
