For Sale: 1968 Pontiac Firebird in O'Fallon, Illinois

Gateway Classic Cars of San Antonio/Austin is pleased to offer this 1968 Pontiac Firebird. Built out of a love for speed, this '68 Firebird is basically a "not quite" street legal drag car! Featuring a 1970 Pontiac 400 CID V8 block (casting # 9799914), an Edelbrock "Victor Pontiac" hi-rise intake, Edelbrock Performer RPM heads & a fat Holley carb, this is definitely a "go fast" type build. An MSD distributor & ignition, headers, an oversized aluminum radiator with electric fan & a Meziere set up round out some of the other under the hood goodies. A Turbo 400 trans w/ frame mounted cooler is putting the power into the Olds 9.3" rear end, the Mark Williams hi-torque axles & the 4.10 gears that are twisting some gigantic 29.0/10.0/15 Hoosiers. Inside is basic, old school race car, with the high back race buckets, a ratchet shifter, AutoMeter ProComp Memory tach, AutoMeter Sport Comp gauges, electric fuel pump/water pump/fan toggles, the MSD 6AL Ignition, the MSD Blaster 3 coil and 2 Step Module selector & an 8-point roll cage. In the trunk is the custom fabbed aluminum fuel cell, electric fuel pump & the battery. This car is a monster & is running Dynomax "Straight Through" bullet mufflers, so unless you have the local law enforcement as a part of your family, this is to be considered a full blown race car and will need to be purchased as such.
