Kirby's 1991 Trans Am Project

 

Here is Kirby's 91 Firebird prior to being delivered to his house in Lynn from Bristol, RI. the car was found at the Mansfield Swap Meet in May 2011 and features a nice cage, ram air hood and full exhaust. it is the perfect candidate for his motor and transmission since the 69 Camaro project has been sold as too much work needed to be done, due to the balance of having a new family. After some horsetrading a deal was had and the car will be delivered on June 4th.

When the Trans Am was first put together it ran 13.90's @ 104 without NOS first pass ever, car would have easily gone in the low 12's. The Trans Am was originally built about 10 years ago and later stripped as extensive frame damage was found. A complete 1969 Camaro was located and soon it was purchased. The car had a hacked up cage, needed all the floors and of course quarters and wheel houses. New floors were installed in 2002 and the car has sat in storage until December 2005, it then was moved to Lynn to my house and then to Kirbys house when he bought in Lynn, it was sold in the spring of 2011 to make way for the new white Trans Am which will be a quicker build. Pictures of the past projects are still up and watch for updates of the 1991 Trans Am
