Re: Pretty cool ebay find
There's one in Florida, too. I was at Bradenton Test & Tune one night about 6 years ago, and someone had a '67-'69 Firebird funny car body with magnesium spindle mounts and a carb'd SBC in it, tuning for passes. I don't remember the specific year of the body. It was in primer, so any history was likely wiped out.

The guy selling that car is a certified Pontiac nut...makes our Buick man CTX look soft. He owns an all Poncho junkyard, also he runs a nostalgia top fuel dragster with a nitro burning Pontiac motor in it, which as normal heads on it, but he has a couple sets of the M/T Poncho heads that will find their way on to the motor in time.

My guess on the body is that it's a Camaro body that someone got after with a sawzall. The factory grille is a neat touch!
My first thought was that it was one of the "Mr. Unswitchable" cars, but it's not. Cool piece, now all you need to find is an old school Logge Bros. chassis and a blown Pontiac 421 on fuel and you'd be livin'!
