Firebird #1 — I purchased my 68 Firebird in 2012 after seeing it sitting next to a horse barn locally. It was a used up Sunday quarter mile toy that lost the love so to speak. In 2019 I began to try to street the strip car it was. It still has the Chev 7.4 in it, bored and cammed and retuned for better street-ability. B&M shifter connected to a 700R4 with a B&M shift kit in it. 373 rear posi rear. Hooker headers backing into 2.5” custom exhaust with an X pipe finishing with Borla shorties and Gibson box tips. It will probably always be a work in progress but I’m good with that Firebird #2 — 1981 Trans-Am. I bought this car in Thunderbay in 1985 from its original owner. It had only 30,000 km. Most of those kms are from a trip I made from Thunderbay to Daytona in 1984. It has been stored every winter since then. In the late 1980s, I had an aftermarket Alpine cassette deck and amplifier installed. Now, it’s just a clock. Around the same time, I had the rear leaf’s re-arced, and an extra leaf installed which gives it, its present rake look. It is a WS4 car and it has the original Brentwood Brown paint. It’s a little scuffed up, but hanging in there.
Founding Member – Albert Melchior
Albert’s 1970 Pro-Touring Trans-Am. It’s the first car in Albert’s “Warrior Series” of builds. This Trans-Am has 95% of it’s exterior body panels replaced with carbon fiber. The modifications to not end with carbon as the car has a 418 cubic inch LS3 with a 2300 Magnuson Super Charger matted to a T56 6-speed transmission with a Ride Tech triangulated 4 link rear-end. Controlling and stopping this beast is left to BFG Rival S Tires, Baer XTR brakes, and Ride Tech Triple adjestable shocks that keep contact with the road. The custom carved forgeline Honeycomb -styled rims pay homage to Pontiac’s iconic styled rims. Blue painted seat backs to tie into the theme of the car.
Founding Member – Jim McKeiver
Our 1978 Trans-Am was bought as our wedding car for each other from each other. As luck would have it, we found it for sale in the small town I grew up in. The car was originally Red from the factory and all the decals and paint work were completed in the same small shop. Now, our whole family enjoy the sound of that 6.6 L V8 engine.
Founding Member – Graham Hill

My little 1996 V6 which I purchased in June 1983 as my daily driver. This car has been through a lot over the years. From tires being slashed, to having bullets removed from its body and tailights but we keep moving forward. “Firechicken” AKA “The Flaming Seagull” as my mechanic calls her, has been a faithful car all these years. She’s in need of some cosmetic repairs, but she starts everytime, and right now, that’s all that matters to me.

I purchased my Trans-Am 1977 from my cousin. It had 6,000 miles and I paid $6,000. Now, it has 106K miles. About 7 years ago, we had a ground-up restoration, the engine rebuilt was a boosted cam. I completely disassembled the car apart, and started the restoration. I have been to car shows, and I have never seen one like mine. Maybe because it was a cheap Trans-Am without power windows, A/C, or T-Roof. One thing I noticed is that this Trans-Am has a three-side belt mldg and continues on the fender and across the hood, so I am not sure what model of Trans-Am it is.

1988 Notchback GTA. It’s currently undergoing some body work to fix an accident from 1992, which happened long before I owned it in 2006. I bought it from thirdgen classifieds without a motor, but with a clean title. It was originally am American car from florida, and it had a 1991/92 front bumper. Because of that, I started digging and found a lot of evidence it had been in a front-end collision. Last time it was on the road under its own power was in 2010. Then, there was my 1987 GTA. I bought this one last summer so I would have something nice to drive. It didn’t take too much to safety but there were some things that were fixed right away to clear up some codes and make it safe to drive (exhaust leak and steering components).

1978 Firebird Esprit with 350 V8 Engine, 350 Turbo 3 Speed transmission, T Bar roof, two owners since 1978. I have loved Firebirds since I was a kid from watching the “Rockford Files”. Although I do love “Smokey and the Bandit”, it was Jim Rockford that spawned my love of the car. I was unable to afford or have the time to spend on a Firebird over my adult life. However, last year I retired from the military after 32 years and I was in a position to purchase my car. I found it through an online ad from the original owner in Kitchener, ON. He took amazing care of the car since 1978 and I promised to do the same. So, I am a new Firebird parent, but I look forward to many wonderful days driving and taking care of this amazing car. I plan to keep the car in its original state as much as I can. I have lots of work to do and I am looking forward to it.

My ’95 T-top Firebird I found at a Garage Sale. It has the 3.4 liter V6 w/auto transmission. It has 160,000 kms on it. It has never been winter driven and the t-tops have never leaked. There is virtually no rust anywhere including the underbody of the car. It is pretty much all original except for the rims/tires, Pioneer stereo with Harmon Kardon speakers, an aftermarket tach., upgraded front brakes, an aftermarket security system w remote start, and a K&N air filter The sunvisors and headliner were just redone by Barkey Upholstery (Orillia) in November 2022 before she was put too bed for the winter. It is not a quick car but she cruises really nice and gets lots of great comments. Great gas mileage too!! I decided to buy this car, as the second car I ever owned was a ’70 1/2 Firebird (350 BB/Auto.)and it was so much fun to drive. It was stolen back in 1980.
