1968 Pontiac Firebird Convertible with 400 CI Motor THIS IS A CAR I RE-BUILT / RESTORED IN 2013I HAVE THE PHS DOCS ON THIS CAR. IT STARTED AS A RED EXTERIOR, WHITE PARCHMENT INTERIOR 350 CONVERTIBLE. IT'S HAS A 400 MOTOR , 400 HOOD, HOOD TACH, AND BADGED 400. IT'S NOT NUMBERS MATCHING OR THE RARE 400 HO I HAVE PUT 4-5,000 ON THE CAR SINCE THEN AND SHE IS SETTLED IN AND VERY RELIABLE I HAVE GONE THRU FROM TOP TO BOTTOM ALL MECHANICAL ASPECTS OF THIS CAR. I WILL DO MY BEST TO LIST ALL THE RESTORATION AND UPGRADES THAT WERE DONE TO THE CAR. I ALSO WILL ATTACH A LINK FOR A FLICKER ACCOUNT TO SHOW MORE PICTURES/DETAILS; https://www.flickr.com/photos/116789541@N02/ I HAVE DONE SEVERAL CARS OVER THE YEARS AND AM A PONTIAC GUY AT HEART. SO HERE IS A LIST OF WHAT I WENT THRU; FROM BOTTOM UP, NEW BODY BUSHING, CENTER FRAME SUPPORTS FOR F-BODY, FLOWMASTER 50’S, NEW DRIVE SHAFT, NEW TRANMISSION/TURBO 400, TOP END ON MOTOR, EDLEBROCK INTAKE, AND NEW CARBORATOR, NEW STREET/STRIP DISTIBUTOR, PLUGS, AND PLUG WIRES, ALL NEW SENSORS ON MOTOR, NEW ALTERNATOR, NEW WATER PUMP, NEW POWER STEERING PUMP NEW POWER STEERING BOX, ALL NEW HOSES, ALL NEW SUSPENSION BUSHING, NEW SPRINGS IN FRONT, NEW SHOCKS, NEW REAR LEAF SPRINGS, NEW SWAY BARS FRONT/BACK, ALL NEW STEERING/FRONT END LINKAGE, I USE MOOG FOR EVERYTHING, NEW A-ARM BUSHINGS, NEW FRONT RADIATOR SUPPORT, NEW AMERICAN RACING TORQUE THRUSTERS, NEW TIRES NEW REAR END, POSI/ 3.63, 4 WHEEL DISC BRAKES, CPP BOOSTER, NEW RADIATOR, ELECTRIC FAN, 3 GUAGE CLUSTER, ALSO RESTORED IN DASH ORIGINAL 2 GUAGE UNIT, NEW BUCKET SEAT FRAMES, ALL NEW UPOLSTERY FOR FRONT BUCKETS, REAR BENCH, NEW CONVERTIBLE TOP, WITH REAR GLASS, HOTCKISS CENTER SUPPORT, DYNAMAT ON ALL FLOORS AND FIREWALL, TRUNK CARPETED, STEREO / BLUETOOTH, AND OTHER IMPROVMENTS THAT I CAN’T THINK OF RIGHT NOW. I BUILD MY CARS FOR RELAIBILITY AND POWER FIRST, SO SHE WILL EASILY PEEL THE TIRES WHEN I’M IN THE MOOD TO BURN THE IMPORT KIDS WHAT STILL NEEDS TO BE DONE AND NEGITIVES; THE PAINT IS A 6-7. WHAT I WOULD CALL "DAILY DRIVER", THERE ARE SMALL NICKS, SCRATCHES, AND RUST IN DOOR FRAME CORNERS, AND IN A COUPLE OF SMALL SPOTS ON QTRS. MY INTENTION WAS TO CLEAN UP THE SHEET METAL, TIGHTEN UP THE DOORS FRAMES, AND RE-SPRAY THE CAR. I HAVEN’T HAD THE TIME TO FINISH THESE AT THIS POINT. THE DOORS FRAMES ARE RUSTED AT BOTTOM AND NEED NEW RAIL / ROCKER REPLACED. I HAVE HAD MY PAINTER QUOTE ME $3,000 TO REPLACE BOTH DOOR ROCKERS, CLEAN UP THE REST OF PANELS, ALIGN , AND A SINGLE STAGE RE-PAINT SAME COLOR. CURRENTLY, I HAVE THE INTERIOR OUT OF THE CAR FOR THE DOOR FRAME AND PAINT. I CAN RE-INSTALL IF BUYER WANTS TO DRIVE AS-IS WHICH IS FINE. I TRIED TO PROVIDE AS MUCH DETAILS AS POSSIBLE , BUT I’M SURE I MISSED SOME THINGS THAT I HAVE DONE DURING THE RESTORATION. THIS IS A 47 YEAR OLD CAR AND IS NOT PERFECT. IT SHOULD GO TO A NEW OWNER THAT IS FAMILAR WITH CLASSIC CARS AND CAN FINISH IT OFF TO PERSONAL TASTE OR CAN CONTINUE TO DRIVE FOR WEEKEND FUN. IF YOU ARE SERIOUS ABOUT THE CAR, GIVE ME A CALL OR TEXT AT 949.400.0181 / MIKE, AND I CAN GO OVER ANY QUESTIONS.
