Group Buy: Jim Rockford's Firebird!

[L84Cabo]

Anybody wanna go in on this? I loved that show!

It's coming up for auction at Barrett. This was apparently one of three and the "sound car" which was used for closeups.

Will they take a hi-point in trade?

 

[Mister Bisley]

My father-in-law is at Barrett-Jackson...It's not his style but I'll tell him to keep an eye out for it.

 

[User 1234]

Ask your father-in-law if they will finance for $200 a day plus expenses.

Meh. I loved the show too. I never watch it when it was first run, but saw every episode multiple time years later. I'd still watch it!

But the car? I watched it get beat to hell every week.

I still have the opening theme from the Rockford Files bouncing around in my head. I'm not complaining either.

I'd rather have Michael Knight's Firebird

Owns ONE. GM gave Universal a ton of cars that were damaged in a train derailment and unsellable, on average they trashed one every few weeks IIRC.

I would also have to opt for KITT over Rockford's car. Or even KARR.

I'll tell you what. The most coolest car and coolest driver? Burt Reynolds man! "East Bound and DOWN", baby!

KARR all the way. Street legal scanner color, and not the obnoxious goody-two-shoes personality.

This is Angel, Jimmy told me I could have the car when the show was over. I'll be by in a few to pick it up.
