Pontiac Firebird 400 HO

1969 Pontiac Firebird

I purchased this car from a gentleman in Kentucky back in 2000. It is a numbers matching car with PHS documentation. The former owner indicated that he had owned it since 1977 and had it repainted in 1982. My plan was to build a stock looking sleeper street car. I pulled the original motor, ear axle and drive shaft, nd put them in storage for safe keeping. This is all included with the car.

First I will describe the car as it sits today. I think you will be impressed with the many high performance improvements that have been made to this car. Second I will go over the original mechanics of the car which will include ID numbers and date codes which show that this is also a low mileage, umbers matching, HS documented Firebird.

So that's the story on this car. I hope you enjoyed reading the details and looking at the pictures. I will be sad to see it go but the car is a driver and needs to be driven. In the 15 years that I have owned it I drove it less than 1,400 miles. In fact, y records show that in the last 5 years I only drove it 74 miles. It has never been raced or abused.
