A beige 64' Belvedere, tubbed but otherwise sleeper looking is one of the coolest, meanest looking cars ever :D Your Firebird, those few years where they were so, make some of the best track cars, imo.

I absolutely LOVE the 60's cars it was such a cool time and the cars had so much style and character, I don't care that a Tesla EV is quicker, it will NEVER have the cool and character that this Pontiac has.
