I still have my 1992 Firebird 3.1 Coupe (for a 21 yr old - v8 was too expensive on insurance) — my father bought it for me as a college grad present — I just started my Senior year and before I graduated - he passed away from his cancer treatments... Like Kirk and the Enterprise... I’ll see it burn and crash before I give it up... I used to undercover drug deals - speed patrol in it... when I was a trooper... it has 229,000 miles on it and looks new — had the engine flipped at 150,000 -— same interior - same engine - same wheels... I just did a full carpet clean this summer again... it’s all about how one takes care of these... YES, high mileage — but it has gotten me to multiple Army bases - caught bad guys - and served to get me where I needed safely...

Glad to see this little icon survived -— too bad Pontiac dissolved... 1969 Firebird is a great collector — even the 1978/79 models -— HUGE car — Fire Phoenix!

I’m curious. Why did you use your private vehicle in your law enforcement work?
