This was body off frame, rotisserie restored, we have a photo album
of the process. Very desirable air conditioned, 4-speed convertible
with a 400 motor.
EXTERIOR: The body is really straight and fits right. No rust or
damage. It has the dual scooped hood with a hood tachometer. I
think the original Verdoro Green color was tweaked, it's beautiful.
It's polished smooth and glossy. The front end rubber filler and
bumper fit real nice. The chrome and trim look new. The windshield
was replaced. The white power top is new, painted frame and new
weather strips. The rally ll wheels were repainted and got new
trim, correct lug nuts and BFG tires. Weather strips and window
seals were replaced.
INTERIOR: New pearl white looks great against the rich green paint.
The door panels, armrests, upholstery, headrests and visors were
all replaced and they're all the same color. Firebird was a little
fancier with wood grain instrument panel, all in good shape. This
has the factory gauge cluster, 160 mph speedometer and optional
clock. The vents and heater control panel look real nice. It has an
original AM/FM radio. The dash pad is new and the metal trim is
painted slick. The carpet was replaced and has reproduction mats.

the 4-speed. Cushions were replaced in the seats. It has a complete
set of original seatbelts. New deluxe wheel on a tilt column.
ENGINE COMPARTMENT: It has a correct 400-350 hp engine restored to
stock specs. It even has a restored quadrajet carburetor on top.
Stock manifolds, new chrome air cleaner lid and valve covers. It
does have factory air conditioning; I can see some new parts
including a compressor but it does still need to be serviced. It
also features power steering and power brakes; the booster is
cadmium plated. All the components are clean and proper. The
squirters are hooked up, it has correct radiator cap and shroud, it
has a Delco battery topper with spring clamp cables. Wires and
hoses are run neatly. All the metal surfaces are painted very
neatly, it has hood insulation.
TRUNK COMPARTMENT: Under the lid and the jamb were painted slick.
Inside is solid with spatter paint. The stickers, weatherstrip,
well liner and mat were replaced. It has the original type
collapsible spare and jack assembly.
UNDERSIDE: All the components were removed and it was literally
flipped on a rotisserie. The floors, braces, rockers are all rock
solid metal, they were prepped and sprayed with a black chip guard.
The subframe was reinstalled the front end steering and suspension
was gone through. It as frame connectors that tie the front to the
back to prevent twisting. In back the springs, bushings and shocks
were replaced. It has a dual exhaust with stainless steel Pypes
mufflers. The fuel system was replaced including the tank and fuel
lines. The brakes were rebuilt; the lines, hoses and the e-brake
cables were replaced. It has disc in front. Looking up at the motor

I think the colors are unique and stunning. This is a fresh
restoration on a very good looking car with desirable features!
I, Jay Grams, take pride in personally writing the descriptions for
virtually every car for about the last 30 years now. A significant
amount of effort goes into fact checking. What I am offering is my
professional impression of the vehicle. Our salesmen are happy to
assist with descriptions and making sure your questions are
answered. One great suggestion is letting us do a walk around video
that explains the car's condition in detail. **These cars are
displayed in a museum. If interested in a particular car, make an
appointment with a salesman to see that car. Without an appointment
there is an admission fee to enter the showroom. If you buy a car,
your admission will be refunded, and you will be given a 1 year
membership.
