1990 Pontiac Firebird Formula

[Mongoose]

Ok folks, here's my pride and joy. I am the original and only owner. She served me faithfully as my daily driver for just over 12 years until a kid in his Accord pulled out in front of me and crunched the nose and fender in. She's been a play toy ever since and has enjoyed the life of garage queen and car show regular. These are after DC1, Ultimate Compound where needed, Mothers California Gold Glaze and finally 2 coats of NXT 2.0 on the paint with Hot Rims used on the wheels. Let me know what you think.

Very nice upgrades!!!!! I would truly be proud to own this car.

I know I'm stang_krazy but my start came from the f-bodies and I still have a place in my heart for the PONTIACS, will have another or three someday.

Like many Firebird fans my addiction started with Smokey & the Bandit. I'm always on the lookout for a good quality 88-92 T/A or GTA, maybe a convertible to park next to the Formula in the building.

Re: 1990 Pontiac Firebird Formula

I'm with you on wishing that Pontiac had not been axed. I had more use for what they produced rather than Buick. My next purchase was going to be a G8-GT when it was time to replace the Mercury. Not sure what now.....

Great looking Firebird. I, like many others fell for the ta/ firebird with Smokey and the Bandit.

Your bird looks fantastic. Nice work.

Can't stop drooling. I had an 86 Iroc and I WILL own another 3rd gen f-body one day.

BTW, are you a member of TGO?
