My Past Cars

1973 Plymouth Duster Brown in color, this was my first car, a gift from my parents in 1975. I sold when I bought my 1979 Trans Am listed below. It is stock here. I later added headers, and mag rims. It looked better, but was not Firebird or Trans Am.

1979 Trans Am Dark Blue with Light Blue Interior. I bought this one new and had it for several years, selling it due to family issues. The new owners were driving it up to Canada. Wish I still had this, or at least knew how it was. It had Blue Recaro seats front and back, a Panasonic overhead cockpit radio system, and gold 81 Turbo rims. I also added foilers, and SE type pin stripes.

1982 MSE Trans Am Red with Black Interior. I bought this new, and I had it for about ten years. I also sold due to family issues. In ten years, I only put 18K miles on it. I sold it to a friend at work, and he sold it years later. After that, I lost track of it. Then I found it on the www.firebirdgallery.com site last year. I emailed the new owner, and we talked about it. That was nice to see it go to a collector.

1986 Pontiac 6000 SE This was the family car when I had the Trans Am cars. For the time it was a great car to drive everyday. Powered by a 2.8 V6, it was quick and easy to drive around. I sold it after it hit 100K miles.

1986 Pontiac 6000 Station Wagon The family wagon back when I had the SE. I bought this used at the dealer after liking the 6000 SE so much. We had it for several care free years.

1969 Firebird 350 Convertible White with Black Interior. This was a used car, bought in around 1984. I wanted an old Firebird so bad, and couldn't wait for the right one, so I bought this one, with light rust, and not the best of shape. After having to replace so many thing in the first year, and it still not looking good, I sold it. Wasted days and wasted nights on this one. I learned on this one, wait for the one you want, don't settle. Don't care what happened to this car.

1969 Firebird 350 Convertible Green with Green Interior. Found this one for sale from a college student who got three tickets, and had his insurance dropped. So he had to sell it. It had around 79K, and but was in rust free, very nice shape. Not highly optioned, it was a great driver, to take to toy shows and misc. Sunday drives. Sold this to a friend at work when I sold the other cars. He took this nice stock automatic car, and made it into a 4 speed. He changed the hood, added a rear spoiler, and other modifications. That hurt a little, but I moved on.

1989 Pontiac Sunbird GT Convertible This was the first convertible I had, a small, low powered 4 cylinder Sunbird. It was fun, but to small for my growing older body. Even my kids didn't like it much. So we sold it after a few years to get the larger Olds convertible below.

1992 Oldsmobile Cutlass Convertible Red With Black Interior. This Convertible became our weekend driver and errand car. This was my second convertible, and really started the wind passion for me. Powered by a V6 3.1, it was faster than the Pontiac. I have always had a convertible since then.

1990 Lincoln Continental When I sold the Firebirds and Trans Am, it was due to health issues. So I opted for a larger car, and this was what I picked. I had lots of trouble with it, and when the time came to get a new car, it was back to Pontiac cars. This was sold for the SSEI below.

1995 Oldsmobile Cutlass Convertible Teal With Gold leather Interior, this is the Convertible that became our weekend driver and vacation car when we sold the red 92 Olds and upgraded to this nicer car. This one had the larger 3.4 engine, and was pretty fast and very comfortable. I really enjoyed this car, it was perfect for my bad legs.

1988 Oldsmobile Tornado Trofeo Always looking for a daily driver, this 1988 caught my eye in the auto trader. Dark blue in color, the original owner took good care of it and I bought it from him. I enjoyed this for several years until we bought the GTP.

1995 Grand Prix GTP I bought this 1995 Grand Prix GTP on eBay in 2002. It was from Glendale, AZ, just northeast of Phoenix. One owner with 68K miles, and had every option, including leather interior and sunroof. Then Engine was the 3.4L, and was fast enough for me around town and getting to work. It also got great gas mileage, and has that great Pontiac Shark look. I only kept it a couple of years, selling it to get a convertible. I wish I had kept this car. It was nice, drove great, and looked even better.

1979 Trans Am I found this car on eBay in May of 2005. Just like my first car, dark Blue with light Blue trim. It looked like a nice daily driver, and I always need another one, so I bought it. It was trucked in the last week of May 2005, arriving June 3, 2005. This car had just over 100K, but had T-Tops and the famous WS6 handling package. Not a show car, but you cant beat driving to work in a classic 1979 Trans Am like this. I sold this after about two years, since I didn't drive it enough.

1992 Bonneville SSEI Gray with Silver Leather interior. My daily driver, family car with the 3.8 supercharged engine. I was surprised how fast and nice this car was. I bought this car from the original owner after the Lincoln was hit by a semi truck. I liked it so much, I later bought a 2001 Bonneville SLE. I sold it with over 117K miles for the Black 2002 Grand Prix below.

1996 Trans Sport Dark Blue with Tan Interior. Our family van, and toy hauler for several years. I bought this on eBay when we were selling die cast toys. We drove it to Los Angeles twice a week when we were selling toys several years ago. We sold when it had about 116K for the 1997 Pontiac van below.

1989 Turbo Grand Prix Red with black interior, I got this to fix up, but never really got the chance. I had always liked this special two year only Turbo Grand Prix. Fully loaded including heads up display and GTA Rims, they were very fast. After sitting for a year, I sold it.

1996 WS6 Firebird Formula LT1 Ram Air When Pontiac brought back the Ram Air hoods it looked evil and powerful just parked. Once again on eBay, I saw this car, a 1996 Firebird Formula LT1 WS-6, with 6 speed. It had 116K miles. Always looking for a bargain, I loaded up kids, and off we drove to Oregon to pick the car up. Arriving home November of 2006, this car was used small weekend trips.

2001 Bonneville SLE Gold with Tan leather interior. This family car comes with power everything, inc. sunroof. We drove to AZ to pick it up from original owners when the SSEi approached 100K. We used this car to go to Laker and Clipper basketball games. We sold it when it reached 90K miles to buy the red 2002 Grand Prix GTP below.

1971 Lemans Sport 400 Red with Black Vinyl Top. Week day driver. Sold Aug of 2010, used money to fix up cars.
