Photos in the “1977 Firebird Esprit model” Album

: Description: I built this model on commission for another Motortopia member. She saw my "Rockford Files" '77 Firebird esprit and wanted to buy it, but I didn't want to sell. Instead, I offered to build another one to her specifications, with colors she wanted instead of her having to settle for what I had on the "Rockford" car. This album will follows the build from start to finish.; By: CorvairJim; Filed under: 1977 Pontiac Firebird Esprit 1:24 Scale Model (The One That Got Away); Number of photos: 37; Updated: Sat Mar 3, 2012 10:21 pm; 383 total
