So that car is finished.
I don't really like the HO type stripe down the side but otherwise, it is Killer

The VooDoo Green Bird that Mattison-PHS used to own with low low miles was there too.
Pics of them from the show...

I was at MCACN this year too. I took quite a few pictures of the RAII Birds. Also included a picture of my friends 69 RAIV Firebird unrestored with 21k original miles. I have more detailed pictures of the Birds if interested but they should probably be posted on that thread.

The Verdoro Green on that car looked amazing! I owned a 68 GTO Verdoro Green I bought from the original owner. Verdoro did not look like that back then. Todays paints and clearcoats make the colors "pop" a lot more. The color on that Bird almost looks like it has a gold base to it.

With all the talk about the RA II on Bring a Trailer, I thought I would give an update on my RA II (Car #6 on the registry). The body is pretty much done and I hope to have the Rally II's painted soon and the new G70 redline tires mounted. I still have to complete the interior and trunk. It will be on the Red Carpet display at this year's MCACN show. I have a lot of late nights ahead of me!

Looks very nice! Hope you get it all done in time. I heard there will be a special GTO display this year. I went last year but probably not going to make it this year. I still have my car (#20 on the list). Slowly making improvements. The next big step is to install the correct WY block to replace the 1972 block in the car now. I just don't want the car to be "down" for too long. Here are pictures from 2023 POCI Nationals. A storm came up and I moved it under shelter.
