It is I guess but I am not trying very hard to sell it, we’ll see how I like the firebird, I might sell the Camaro in the spring and put a 408 in the Bird :eekdance:

9C1ny…you should seriously consider getting a dealer license, if you don’t already have one. It would save you a lot of hassle with switching insurance and shit like that. Just keep all of your cars in the garage and when you feel like driving one, slap the plate on back. Never have to run a front plate, etc…

I have my bird covering my front plate. Only had a problem once but luckily my cousin was driving, and it was less of a problem since it got the 20mph over in a 55mph reduced to a no front plate lol! Nice buy though.
