1968 Pontiac Firebird Sprint OHC this is a running and driving car, a real AZ/NM survivor still retains its original Sprint OHC 4.1 Litre Sprint straight 6 (rated back then at I think 215 hp), because of its 4v carb. special cam, hi flow intake manifold and dual exhaust manifolds (thank you John DeLorean once again ) other options include PS, 4 spd transmission & dealer installed A/C.. read on ! aprox 1200 of these cars where made and face it most had V8 swaps done to them, so 1 this original as a survivor is extremely rare. My guess less then 500 left this original. Some surface rust sure, but its hard to distinguish the old Burgandy color from primer, from some surface rust (which easy sands off in a few minutes..) Although its been sitting for many yrs not being used, it came back to life pretty easily with some fresh gas and a battery. It obviously still needs a total restoration, but you are starting with an amazingly straight body front to back with all original sheetmetal and 90% of its original paint gone down to bare metal. Windshield was pretty beat up, so I just removed it completely so it was easier to see. Rest of the glass is good and original. I didnt drop the gas tank yet, but I may this week to see if the build sheet is there. The 14x7 Rallys shown in the car disc brake versions DONT come with the car, but ARE AVAILABLE OPTIONAL for $500 more. The car will come with some steel rollers with the original very cool 14" Pontiac Wheel covers (see pics) DRIVETRAIN: as mentioned earlier, its the original surviving 4.1 L 6cyl matted to a factory 4 spd transmission, stock rearend with interestingly enough, multi leaf rear springs. Not sure what gears came in it stock. It really should be more tuned up. We did a cap and rotor, but should have new wires, plugs etc. Starts with a few pumps of the gas when its cold and idles okay too once its warmed up a few minutes. New owner may want to clean the gas tank out, even with the new gas, the exhaust smells a little like old gas. INTERIOR: The original vinyl showing its age and its obviously sun beat and worn, but its mostly complete and would restore with less issues. Floorboards got rust from the inside, and Ive seen some holes, but some areas there may want to be replaced during the resto. But the rust isnt from salt and snow and much less rust then an eastern car this old. In the dash it has a factory 160 Speedo and factor Hood tach too. The underdash AC is pretty sweet and contours well the the stock lower dash. Trunk very solid. EXTERIOR: Original color was burgandy (most gone) but alot of the misc trim pieces and emblems NOT shown on the car still come with the car in the trunk (see pics) The body very straight for its age and about as rust free as youll find for a non restored car. All the trim seems to be there too. No signs of bondo or previous damage anywhere. Still needs full resto, but this is a great starting point for an easier more profitable restoration or keeper ! SUSPENSION: all factory and original, nothing special but goes down the road okay for a non restored car. Drives down the road well for an older car. This car is 90% rust free Arizona car Check out ALL the pics below -----> not sure why people would bid on a car so far away with small pics showing no details like under the car, but with OUR ADS, we almost take the car apart to take the pics our customers deserve !! it may take a full minute for them all to load if you have a slow connection, so be patient AND looks for the extra schroll bar on the right side. Az gets maybe 12" a yr of rain and Az very dry climate. keeping the metal on our cars more preserved then most states. more info AFTER the pics etc. There are 100 large pics. I Have a set of 2013 18" Camaro rims with tires on them with the proper spacers too. If the winner is interested them let me know and they can buy them for $600 more for the pkg. There you have it, probably The BEST represented Firebirds on Ebay. Shows you all the good as well as any bad, hope you appreciate them. We put a lot of time and effort in marketing our cars and it shows. People wait months for a car this solid to come up for sale and even if you have to pay shipping to your area, it still beats paying a body shop to hopefully fix a rusty car for weeks on end. Having as much as the original steel on a restored car these days speaks volumes. Also, if you buy a car thats been "restored", who knows what sort of surprises are hidden under new paint or thick undercoating. People are flipping cars all the time when most of the jobs are fast, for a quick buck and quality suffers. Our auctions have NOTHING to hide . Restore a car like this yourself or locally and you know exactly what you have in the end. Email us with ANY questions before you bid please If you treat yourself to buying one of our vehicles youll never buy a total rust bucket again from anyone !! Our Impeccable FEEDBACK speaks for itself. Doing restoration on this type of project is less labor intensive which means overall cost is less too ! With less horrid surprises later on. Dont let auctions with little to no pics try to fool you. With other auctions, you really dont know what to expect until you take the car apart.
