Vehicle Description
This 1968 Pontiac Firebird Convertible is what a cool custom
classic are all about. There's slick blue paint, terrific bodywork,
an A/C interior, fresh components everywhere (even under the car),
four-wheel disc brakes, an overdrive transmission, and much more.
And the rumble you here comes from upgraded fuel-injected
power.
This droptop announces it's something special from the moment it
comes into view. The blue they chose was borrowed from the Dodge
Viper, and it the kind of luster that radiates the sunlight
(perfect for a sunshine-friendly convertible.) But the appeal of
this one goes much further than picking the right color. You can
tell they invested plenty of time and money making sure the best
vintage elements look great, like the form-fitting rear bumpers,
dual Ram Air hood scoops, and a crisp point that's front and
center. And speaking of the front end, these '68 Firebirds are
legendary for that full chrome beak, and so we love that it looks
terrific on this one. And those polished 18-inch five-spoke wheels
with extra wide rear tires do a nice job of hinting at all the
other performance upgrades in the car.
If you like the way the crisp white convertible top looks against
the blue, then you'll love taking it down to reveal the full
parchment white interior. Once inside, you'll see this is all about
being secretly rewarding. For example, the front bucket seats have
a classic look, but they have more modern bolstering to really keep
you comfortable. There's even a cup holder armrest console
in-between. Also, the center console and dash might have the
vintage wood-like look, but now it houses the Rertosound AM/FM
stereo w/Bluetooth and the controls for the R134a air conditioning.
The thoughtfulness of this build even extends to the trunk where
there's plush blue carpeting surrounding the custom amp and
subwoofer enclosures. You get a grippy sports steering wheel on an
upgraded tilt column, and there's a full set of Dakota Digital
gauges - and it all gets your senses ready for an upgraded
performance car experience.
One look under the hood, and you know they gave the best to this
custom. You're looking at a 350 cubic-inch LT1 V8 borrowed from a
Camaro and completely rebuilt in 2014. When they invested in this
motor, they gave it an award-worthy shine with the valve covers,
pulleys, brackets, master cylinder, and much more. Plus, this
fuel-injected V8 inhales deeply thanks to a cold air kit. It
creates a mighty package that gives a sweet sound out of the
MagnaFlow dual exhaust. But more than just powerful, this is a
terrific all-around classic. That's why the 4L60E four-speed
automatic transmission was freshly rebuilt within the last year to
deliver reliable overdrive comfort. Plus, you have an aluminum
radiator w/electric fan to help keep this running cool even if
you're in traffic with the A/C pumping. There's also all the right
driving features, like power steering, a limited-slip rear end,
sway bars front & rear, and a four-wheel disc brake upgrade.
Complete with restoration receipts and photos, they did all the
hard work on this restomod Firebird, and if you're quick enough to
grab this deal, you get to reap all the rewards. Call today!!!
