I purchased my Pontiac Firebird Esprit in October 1974 as a leftover from Kemper Pontiac Cadillac in Bridgewater, New Jersey. This was my first car purchase as I needed a car to drive to St. Joseph's HS in Metuchen, NJ from our home in Bound Brook, NJ. I was looking at Plymouth Dusters, Dodge Dart Swingers and a used 1971 Pontiac Grand Prix (silver with black interior). Glad I purchased the Firebird and glad I still have it! 28,900 miles on the Honduras Maroon with white interior. It has a 350 Automatic and I got it back on the road in April 2014 after nearly 30 years of inactivity in my Dad's garage. Gene Kirschenr at Auto Haus in Peapack, NJ resurrected the Bird and it's great to drive it once again.
