Vehicle Description
Pontiac fans rejoice! Check out this 1969 Pontiac Firebird! You get
a brilliant resto-mod with big horsepower, a slick interior, and a
very modern look that is 100% Pontiac.
The excitement division certainly delivers with the Firebird and
its innovative Endura-Flex bumper that gives their version of the
F-body a very distinctive look. This cool resto-mod takes it up a
few notches with gorgeous Sedona Orange paint (a 2011
Harley-Davidson color) over clean sheetmetal. They got it nice and
straight, put it together with ever so much care so it all lines up
just right, then buffed and smoothed it for an impossible shine.
That's a factory Ram Air hood with tach and an OEM rear spoiler,
because there's really no point in trying to do any better than the
factory. Black stripes were custom made for the flanks, mirroring
the shape of the fender line and spelling out "FIREBIRD" in big
block letters on the quarters, just in case you didn't know. The
Endura-Flex nose is in great shape, and the rear bumper is
beautifully re-chromed to really shine against the sizzling orange
paint (I suppose Harley-Davidson knows a bit about what looks good
with chrome). This is one slick 'Bird.
The interior is almost entirely stock, but in an F-body, that's a
good thing. Fresh seat covers on the original buckets and what
appears to be an original back seat anchor the black passenger
compartment and give it a racy look. The dash is also OEM, complete
and a set of aftermarket auxiliary gauges stuffed into the original
spots just to the right of the main cluster. A B&M shifter
lives in the console to manage the TH350 3-speed automatic. Correct
OEM-style carpets and the factory AM/FM radio in the dash are nice
ties to the past, but there's also a new AM/FM/CD stereo head unit
underneath. The trunk is also nicely done, with a correct
reproduction trunk mat that fits extremely well.
Pontiac's 350 cubic inch V8 really needs no help in the horsepower
department, so it was rebuilt and dropped back between the fenders.
There's plenty of chrome, of course, including the valve covers and
accessories, and it goes quite nicely with the Pontiac Turquoise
big block underneath. It barks to life with a single turn of the
key and runs like a finely-tuned big block should with a wonderful
baritone idle and big-league torque. Trick cast iron manifolds feed
a recent dual exhaust system with an X-pipe, Flowmaster mufflers,
and chrome tips borrowed from a second-generation Trans Am for the
ideal Pontiac touch. The undercarriage is quite clean, and it sits
right thanks to freshened suspension bits all around. Those 17-inch
wheels are very trick Rally II replicas from Year One and they wear
255/40/17 BFGoodrich radials all around.
Fast, handsome, and full of traditional styling cues, this is the
resto-mod Pontiac fans dream of. Call today!
