1989 Firebird Formula - NASA CMC2
305 GM 260hp/300tq
Tremec TKO600rr
3:90 Motive gear
LS1 Brakes, GTA 16"rims

Car was ordered as a racecar from the factory with 1LE brakes and nothing else. Build date January 1989. First race in logbook is March 1989. SSGT Regional Champion in the San Fransico Region with Jack Roose. Gayland Schmidt (Sam's uncle) won numerous races and Regional Championships also. Converted to American Sedan specs by Jon Ward (Jerry Titus car owner and builder). I have a letter from Jon discussing the build and mods from the early 90's. Sons Kevin & Shelly raced it in AS before moving to the Midwest with Rocky Elli. Ran AGS, American Iron, CMC, and now CMC2 with me. Many unique and rare parts including Aluminum hood, 1LE brakes, & custom parts by Jon Ward.

Fresh off NASA Nationals with a 4th, 6th, and 6th place finishes.

Race NASA CMC2 or Vintage with SVRA/VSCDA.

$9,000 obo.

Spec carb for everyone...Holley 4776 600 cfm.

This whole car is custom one off and done by the best there ever was when it came to F-bodies. Jon Ward's sons owned this car and he converted it from SSGT to ASedan. There were some really neat trick pieces that I have in the basement that are not anywhere near legal for CMC. When I bought it, it had stock rear a-arm shells hiding tubular control arms that were mounted to the floor. They had cut the head off a bolt and welded it to the stock mounting point! There were lots of things on this car that were never legal for SCCA Asedan but it had several Nationals wins and many regional championships in the logbooks. Guess they never looked too close in the '90's!

Sounds just like the old, original Trans Am series with all of it's legendary tales and folklore of cheating methods and 'almost caught' stories! (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/2thumbs.gif)
