Mine was an 84. Sold it back to the same kid I got it from for a few hundred more lol
My real love for third gens came from my 85 Z28 that I drove through most of college. Always regretted selling it!

I loved the IROC look a lot when I was in HS. The only firebird I ever wanted from that gen was from Knight Rider LOL
Would have loved to wind up with an IROC, but everything that checked the boxes I wanted was just out of my budget unfortunately
What is everyone using for classic car insurance? I called the company that njm partners with, and if the quoting process was any indication of what it's like dealing with that company, it would be impossible to file a claim.
I looked at all of that too. it was nuts what they wanted.
Hagerty was relatively easy to deal with, and not that expensive.
What you want is coverage when somebody hits you up to your insured value.
nuts part is I think the NJM policy would cover the medical part, cause it covers 'other vehicles'

Next off the Island.
It sounded so mean!!! And it was very loud!!!

That is exactly why my first car was a Firebird. Although mine was white and not nearly as cool as KITT. But still pretty cool.
Hmm, depending on how you classify it - my first car was a '69 firebird - well, first car I purchased.
My parents gave me a hand-me-down Plymouth Cricket. Both equally rare I guess!

my first car
Been using Hagerty since I turned 25 and could get classic insurance....no complaints....they have yet to ever ask me how many miles are on my car, or what I do with it.

What deck is that?
Sounds good, I will give them a call. Put it on NJM for now to get it covered, but that's another $1200 a year.
NJM is partnered with American Modern insurance. During the long quote process they asked me how I would use the car (weekend cruiser) and offered different mileage options, one of which was 6000 a year. So I said 6000 to be conservative. Then they told me that it didn't make sense that I wanted 6000 for a cruiser, and started asking me again how I'm going to use the car in multiple lines of questioning.
After explaining why I told them six, and that I've never gone through this process before, and I'm not really sure what they want to hear, I reiterated I'm just going to be using it as a cruiser. They asked me again how I'm going to use the car. So I just told them I was no longer interested and hung up.
Man it's so disappointing to find a clean Firebird listed, then realize someone tried a kitt conversion on it lol
tell them you are getting street rod plates and launching it down rt 22, Milltown Rd to the state police station on-ramp.
doubt you'll put 2000/yr on it if it is an extra car, street meetups, shows, and the occasional nice weather ride.
ya thats alot....I have my mustang insured for $100,000.....$0 buyback if its ever totaled....collision, free towing, etc and its about $800 for the year
Sounds a bit better. Do you have to get QQ plates for the classic insurance?
