Some more interesting stuff from the article...it's a 1968 model

Bitter: It seems to be a rare classic. Car pope Michael Fröhlich (71, "Fantastic vehicles") told BILD: "This is a Pontiac Firebird Coupé, probably built in 1968. That was the competitor model to the Ford Mustang, but much more noble." He estimates that the car is worth around EUR 50 000.

It must be true....it was posted my the Media experts.

I noted this in the first post.
Yet this guy apparently managed to sell classic cars for decades without going broke... (And still does)

Salesmen only tell you what they want you to hear.

My best friend loaned her expedition to her niece, who totaled it in a supposed "road rage" incident. Fourth accident by this person in a borrowed car.
Nobody (almost) borrows any of my cars.

Totally off topic - went to Heine Bros south of Louisville off of I65 last week, same old Nazi BS signs MASK REQUIRED and put my pink bra over my face. The guy behind the counter looked at it and then offered me a mask...Would you like a mask? I just stared at him. It's free, would you like one? Finally I said: I'm wearing one. He must have thought I'm some poor schmuck who pulled some underwear out of my gym bag because I didn't have a mask.

That could be fixed. A lot of work but could be fixed. I've seen worse than that brought back to life.

Maybe if you're dad is a TV repairman.

Good quote. I saw one today on the back of a truck that said: Democrats have what it takes to take everything you have. Good one, too true.

My dad is dead but he did work for RCA.

Didn't mean anything bad about your dad.
It was a reference to the movie Fast Times at Ridgemont High.

I wonder why they sling ed and picked up the car that way?

Maybe it was easier to pour the kid out of it that way.

I'm not sure I ever saw that movie. My dad did work for RCA and we had an RCA color cathode ray TV that he would have to fix periodically. He also fixed the used Plymouth he drove and then the used 1960 DeSoto - what a boat! I often wonder what it would be like if he'd lived longer and what he would think of my cars. He used to take me to Crazy Eight Races when we visited my grandparents in GA. I loved it!

My dad hated my Muscle cars. In his world? If not the size of an aircraft carrier? It's not an automobile. He drank. ALOT. I pulled out from under his '69 Buick Wildcat a stop sign he ran over on his way home. I told him if I see any evidence that you hurt someone? The cops will be waking you. I was 14 years old hack sawing that sign wrapped around his rear end. But that big pig Buick dragged it all the way home. With just bumper damage.

Stupid comes in all ages. I'm glad the kids are ok.

Looks like the hood pins worked

Looks like a German MOPAR fan lost a prized possession.

Thank God my parents didn't drink. My father was raised Southern Baptist and was a tea totaler. Mom drank wine occasionally but that was it. My father was a very good man. At Christmas I got Barbie dolls as well as Lionel trains. He loved Science Fiction TV shows and would make fun of how poorly the space ships were designed. Time Tunnel, Lost in Space, Star Trek, we watched it together as a family although I don't remember my mother being that interested. She liked Little Joe in Bonanza.
My father was a studios type reading a lot of science/engineering magazines. Sometimes he was so lost in thought he would run a stop sign and on one occasion, hit a fire truck...
Sorry you have those kind of memories about your dad.

Good booze scene:

Front closing bras - I love'em but they can have wardrobe failure.
