Try this:

2nd Gen Firebirds

Go to the 1973 year.



And welcome to PY and the addition of the 73 Formula!

Welcome woolfie,

Cool car, what does the PHS say for color? It should be a number not letters.

Hi Woolfie nice score, and welcome to the forum. Love the color, is that the original paint? Please post more pictures and history of the car when you can. Curious to see how the car got to Sweden.

The Only other 73 I have seen in slate had a white vinyl roof and white deLuxe interior and it was stunning. Great Find!

That's an incredibly unique car here in the states, so I can only imagine what it must be like owning one in Sweden!

Great looking car!
