1968 Pontiac Firebird N/A

Wedding Bells have prompted my son to sell one of his project cars, so up for bid is a 1968 Pontiac Firebird Convertible !! We had started restoring this car a couple years ago but it has been sitting since he transferred for work. Fabricated new motor mounts to set the engine back 2"-3". Intent was to turn it into a Pro-Touring car. Shipping is entirely the responsibility of the buyer! Winning bidder will be required to provide a $500 down payment through PayPal within 48 hours of the sale.

Drive train:

Engine:Re-built Pontiac 455. The heads are stock, but have been CNC machined with a valve job. It's been about four years since the engine was done so you might look into new springs and a gasket/seal refresh. The fuel delivery system is throttle body fuel injection. Included are the Edelbrock fuel injection intake, fuel runners, and throttle body. We also include a set of new roller tip rockers.

Transmission:The manual transmission is a T56 6 speed unit with the correct BOP bellhousing installed. I know I saw a hydraulic throw-out bearing and a pressure plate, but no new clutch disc. There is a Tremec install kit with fresh bearings and the like included.

Rear End:10 bolt, 8.5". Included with the car is a 3:73 gear with an installation kit and a posi unit.

Chassis:

Front:The front suspension has been replaced with tubular upper and lower control arms with coil overs. Included are the front and rear disc brake conversion kits.

Rear:TriangulatedFour-link cradle welded in the back. Included are rear coil overs.


Body:

Interior:The interior is down to the floor pans. The previous owner had replaced some of the floor pans but you might consider replacing them properly OR taking the time to finish welding them in. The trunk floor will need replacing. Included with the car is an OEM console in very good condition.

Exterior:It has new quarter panels that are already installed, and new front fenders. The doors are original and we had completed some minor body work on them.

Convertible Top Frame:It has been stripped, but sitting for a few years and has some flash on it. The paintable body moldings that go around the inside of the body are included and have already been stripped.
