Very nice photo’s James, thanks for posting.

@Nassau65 if you look closely the 73 has fluffy seat covers. I love that.

Does anyone know if the 73's hood is actually a small block hood because I'd have thought the big block hood would be more in your face for bragging rights. Thank you.

Just had a look and saw them soo 70’s. Needs furry dice .

I think that was the standard hood for all models in 73. The last of the big blocks 454ci for 1974 had that hood along with its lesser siblings.

Good ole big blocks, drink more than a thirsty camel

Nice to see factory honeycomb wheels on the Firebird. I’ve still got a set removed from a 76 somewhere. ( tires are probably shot by now tho )

@Nassau65 yeah those are stunning. Very badass unique design.

Yes, I thought they were great. Trouble was when the “snowflake “ wheels arrived in 1977, suddenly the honeycomb wheels were old hat. That’s how I’ve got my set. We removed them from a green 76 and fitted snowflakes to sell the car.

Serious tyres (Toyo R888's) on the back of the Firebird........too low a profile though. Love the '63 TBird - 'respect' the Bentley Blue Train repro' thingy (although I hate the Weymann patent fabric bodies)

The honeycombs are not factory either. Too big a dish. Look good tho. Old style look adjusted for modern rubber. The best of both worlds.

I think the 73 hood was a new design to hide the wipers apter the ended the vacuum wiper door in 72.
