CUSTOMER SPOTLIGHT: 50 YEARS WITH MARTY SHIELDS’ 1967 FIREBIRD H.O. "COURTING CAR"
Marty Shields from Campbellsville, KY stopped by our shop in his beautifully restored **1967 Pontiac Firebird H.O.** — and shared an incredible story 50 years in the making.
This Firebird wasn’t just Marty’s second car… it was his **“courting car”** — the very car he drove when he asked his wife to marry him. And just like the Firebird, he still has her too ❤️ Marty has owned this car nearly five decades, and recently gave it a full restoration, making it nicer than ever. He even stopped by to pick up **parts for his other Firebird** — a 1968 400. Safe to say the man bleeds Pontiac!
Key Milestones of Marty's Pontiac Passion:
50 Years of Firebird Ownership: This amazing car has been a core part of Marty's life for five decades—a true testament to the bond between an owner and his classic **Firebird car parts**.
The "Courting Car" That Sealed the Deal: The '67 H.O. was the vehicle Marty used when he proposed, a romantic chapter in its full restoration story. He still has the car and his wife!
Custom Gold 326 H.O. Engine: Under the hood is a clean, custom GOLD-painted 326 High Output engine that looks just as good as it runs. This **full restoration story** is detailed from front to back.
