Nice '76; I like that blue. I've heard a lot of good things about the Firehawks. I'm looking to replace my tires and are considering them. Thanks for the input . . .

A Beeg MAhalo's! for all the great comments.I have learned much about these cars from the info posted here.When I got this car 3 years ago it was running crappy had weak brakes,steering was scary and no tunes.After much help from all the great info here it is now a pure joy to drive! It is no show piece but its fun to work on and I get a kick out of people just staring at those beautiful curves she has! I just chuckle when the ricers we have here revv their engines at me! Happens all the time when we go for a ride.I just ignore em,they wish they had a vette haha..
