The 10th Anniversary cars were available with either the 400 Pontiac V8, or the 403 Oldsmobile V8. Of the 7,500 10th Anniversary cars made, only 1,817 were built with the L78 400 engine with the four speed manual transmission. The balance of the production run, 5,683 units, received the L80 403 V8, connected to the Turbo 350 automatic.

I will have to come and see the freshly painted Firehawk, I will be in the market for a paint freshening soon, so I'm looking for a good paint shop.

PS The TA's painted now! [/QUOTE How come you painted the hawk Larry, it looked great to me?

 

Good Lord, I haven't painted the 'Hawk, I've painted the TA RACECAR! (I may be clearcoating the 'Hawk soon though...)check out VancouverFbody.com 3rd Gen section for pics!

and of course you're right about the 400's being only in the MT Anniversary cars in '79. I just have a mental block about automatic F-bodys, maybe because I'd never buy one...

Steve, read the above!!

 

I was thinking about that race car you are building and I'd like to check it out. Your 01 vert hawk is mint and as you say, "red wins." Larry, please let me know when you and Barb are attending any show n' shines cause I'd like to break this winning streak red has. I look forward to seeing you two this year and I have a nice red decal for your frc's.

 

I'm so tied up, every spare minute is used to build the racecar. I have a job board that's full of things to do, and I have very few free days until the August road race (13th practise sessions at the track, then racing Sat. and Sun. 14/15th) Barb thinks I've become obsessed and she may be right...We'll try to get one in this year, maybe in August or Sept.
