Wow! That's pretty cool. I used to love that show. Sure a lot of money for a firebird. Pretty awesome one though

I want to take a spare front liscense plate cover (or whatever they call it), cut out the letters, and put LEDs behind them, then run a 555 timer to cascade them off/on a la kitt.

Wasn't there a C4 used in the "A Team"? An 84 or 85 white with a blue stripe and original wheels. (That is all I can recall) I wonder what happened to that car?

White '84 with red stripe. It belonged to a rental company in LA. When the show needed it they would rent the car, then apply the red decal. When they were done with the car they removed the decal and returned it to the rental agency. Being a rental car I'm sure it was just sold off when the rental agency was done with it. It was bone stock.

I've talked to my car many times when working on it. It's never talked back.... yet. I guess she doesn't like it when I talk dirty.

BTW, shouldn't you have posted this in tech?

I don't think it has neons on it. But perhaps the strobe lights qualify it for C4/Tech.

We'll have the booth review that one...

I watched that cornball show a lot, but never liked it beyond the car chase scenes.

Knight Rider had nothing on A-Team and Dukes of Hazzard.

Knight Rider was great when I was younger but it hasn't aged well. I bought the 1st season on DVD and I can't get past the first few episodes It's pretty cheesy.

Dukes was better and is still great entertainment!

My favorites are Airwolf and Magnum, PI. Too bad Jan Michael Vincent couldn't lay off the sauce a few hours a day or the show might have gone beyond a few seasons. Magnum was the man, the writing and cast of that show were great. I still pop in Airwolf of Magnum when there's nothing on TV.

Miami Vice was pretty cool too...

The A Team is GOOD STUFF
Dukes of Hazzard is Classic
