Vehicle Description
Camaros, Mustangs and MoPars just don't floats some folks' boats.
See, they like to stand out from the sea of 'me too' muscle cars,
and they like to support automotive guards that, despite market
headwinds, never deviated from their original heading. That's the
chief mantra of many diehard Pontiac fans, and that's why classics
like this lovable Firebird convertible are so appealing. Combining
a hot Pontiac 400 with a smooth 3-speed, razor-sharp aesthetics and
miles of top-down bliss, this award-winning Poncho is sure to put
the wind in your sails! Looking for some cool old muscle that's
ready to cruise the coast OR reflect the sun? Breeze on over to
www.RKMotors.com and board your next classic!
BORN RED
Rolling out of GM's storied Norwood facility as a legit Matador Red
over Black Firebird, this engaging F-Body has benefitted from
decades of steady restoration. Naturally, that work has maintained
proper MoTown form. And today, this handsome cruiser walks a fine
line between tastefully contemporary and traditionally flamboyant.
At the front of the car, a racy spoiler frames ornate lighting
while a polished grille pushes a monochromatic arrowhead past bold
"PONTIAC" lettering. At the top of that beak, a scooped hood plants
red "400" scripts just right of a contoured tachometer. Opposite
that tach, Soft Ray class stretches correct Black vinyl around
stainless wipers, polished frames and ornate factory mirrors.
Beneath those mirrors, a sculpted profile floats polished door
handles, flowing louvers and stylish marker lamps above dent-free
rocker guards. And at the back of the car, a "PONTIAC" branded
valance stacks clean taillights between a third "400" script and a
broad bumper.
PONTIAC POWER
Take a look under the hood and you'll find 400 cubic inches of
clean Turquoise muscle that's been professionally rebuilt around a
Crower hydraulic, flat-tappet cam. 800cfm of Rochester Quadrajet
carburetion joins an MSD Pro-Billet distributor to kick start
combustion. Fuel and air flow in to iron GM heads, which marry a
camouflaged Edelbrock Performer RPM intake to coated GM manifolds.
Traditional V-belts spin factory power steering beneath a rebuilt
Pontiac alternator. A beefy aluminum radiator has been disguised as
old school factory fodder. A polished and decaled air cleaner
mirrors polished breathers and polished valve covers to add
sufficient flash. And items like a fresh brake booster and
stainless fluid lines add proven merit to the car's show stopping
style.
IF IT AIN'T BROKE, DON'T FIX IT
At the bottom of this slick Firebird, solid floorpans tell the
story of a clean car that's been restored as needed. Behind the
mighty motor, a proven Turbo-Hydramatic 350 3-speed spins power to
a rebuilt 10-bolt that's finished with a posi-traction differential
and 3.55 gears. Below that stellar drivetrain, a factory suspension
centers factory power steering between standard-issue power front
disc and rear drum brakes. At the center of that Satin Black
chassis, aluminized exhaust hangs an X-shaped Pypes crossover in
front of buff Dynomax mufflers and polished stainless tips. And
everything rolls on 15-inch Rally IIs, which twist 225/60 BF
Goodrich Radial T/As in front of 245/60 BF Goodrich Radial
T/As.
AS THE FACTORY INTENDED
Open this car's solid doors and you'll find a retro interior that's
mostly as the factory spec-d it. High-back bucket seats are supple,
firm and look every bit as nice our pictures imply. A weather-free
dash hangs rebuilt telemetry next to a correct pushbutton radio.
Beneath that dash, a wood-trimmed console founds a small shifter
behind Auto Gage accessory gauges. And the driver spins a stylish
Pontiac steering wheel.
