modification - a nose job. Did that process cause the screaming
chicken to scream louder? We'll never know since we weren't there
for the process of the nose job, but we do know that it looks
great! To many, the squared off front end of the mid to late 70's
Firebirds which feature blocky bumper pads are a bit less
attractive than the nose of the early 70's cars. This car has the
sleeker look of the '72 at the front and the slightly updated look
of the '75 at the back. A subtle change that makes for a sweet
looking car, and could be considered an OEM+ approach to modifying
a car. The car was repainted in a new color that is a leaf green
metallic hue. The color looks to be something that would've been in
the GM color palette at the time the car was built, although it was
not a color originally offered on the Firebird. We think it's a
great color on the car that's a little understated, but it adds a
little flair since it's unique. The '72 Firebird hood paired with
the more aggressive '72 front bumper gives this vintage Pontiac a
tougher look. The paint shows well with depth and even gloss, the
bumpers are in great condition, trim and lights show well, and the
17-inch wheels finish the custom look off. Inside the car is a tidy
interior finished in black. Notable interior features are black
bucket seats, additional auxiliary gauges, Hurst shifter, Grant
steering wheel, and wood veneer dash trim. The interior condition
is clean, with age showing in a few small areas. The vinyl seats
show a little wear, but no holes or tears. Under the ram-air-hood
is a 455ci V8 nestled in a very tidy engine bay. A Holley 4 barrel
carburetor mounted atop a Edelbrock intake manifold feed the
engine. Other highlights of the engine are MSD Ignition, MSD Spark
Plug Wires, a polished air filter cover, aftermarket valve covers,
and a custom exhaust that includes headers, x-pipe, and Pypes
mufflers. Here's your chance to fool eagle-eyed Pontiac enthusiasts
on the road or at car shows. A later front end on a newer car, and
a custom paint color will have Pontiac enthusiasts scratching their
heads for a moment. Those who see this car appreciate the nose-job
which was done for form over function. The results speak for
themselves. Be sure to check out all the photos and video on our
