For Sale: 1974 Pontiac Firebird in Volo, Illinois

Vehicle Description

This is legit, the real deal! 785 horsepower Dart engine and a full chassis that qualifies this car for the track. Only 580 miles on a high end build. Incredible performance and handling, yet it will pamper you in soft ultra leather, a premium sound system and cold a/c. It's show quality out. It would cost 1/4 million dollars to take a car to this level at a professional shop. Your search for the perfect pro touring car is now over!

EXTERIOR: Show quality paint and body work! It's literally like looking into a black mirror. The PPG paint has been expertly applied and polished to a highly reflective finish. Down the side of the body is 100% straight as an arrow and the gaps are consistent all the way around. The rain gutters, emblems and door handles have been shaved/smoothed. The doors open with electronic poppers via remote and close like a new car. All the glass is brand new with new weather stripping too. It has a rear spoiler and a fiberglass cowl induction hood that has Aero catch hood pins. It has LED front running lights and a Detroit Speed bright headlight kit. The dual sport mirrors are electronically controlled. The wheels have been upgraded to Billet Specialties five spoke chrome mags that are wrapped in BF Goodrich G-Force T/A tires. They are monstrous size 335/30ZR18 in back and size 275/35 ZR18s up front.

INTERIOR: The interior has been completely customized and upholstered in glove soft ultra leather! Let's start with the Cerullo front bucket seats that will hold you in place as your carving up the curves. They are equipped with Simpson 5-point racing harnesses. The Hurst six-speed shifter pokes up through a custom ultra leather wrapped mile long center console extends to the rear seats and is complete with cup holders, armrests, and a storage compartment. The rear seat has been reupholstered to match the front. The door panels are wrapped in ultra leather and include billet switches for the power windows and have custom molded speakers. The headliner has been replaced and the builder added a modern overhead console. The dash pad was replaced and a custom panel housing Auto Meter Carbon Fiber Ultra-Lite gauges has been installed. Also, the Vintage Air controls and a control for the power mirrors are mounted on the custom dash panel. It has a tilt steering column with an awesome Shutt leather wrapped steering wheel. The stereo system has been highly upgraded including a Kenwood detachable face stereo, 2 5.5" door panel speakers, 4 6x9 speakers on the rear shelf and a subwoofer mounted in the trunk all by Focal. That is mounted alongside a JL Audio amplifier. A custom roll cage that has been neatly installed and concealed wherever possible is in place. It does not interfere with front seat access and the rear bar swings out with a quick release pin so it can be accessed easily by passengers. The roll cage also adds to the body's rigidity which improves handling. This car is tight in the turns!

ENGINE COMPARTMENT: Pop the hood and take a minute to soak it all in! The power plant is a ginormous 537 cubic inch dyno tuned engine creating 785 horsepower and 670 ft lb of torque. It has a Dart Big M block, Callies crank, Manley rods, JE Pistons, Comp roller cam and lifters, Dart Pro 1 aluminum heads, TD roller rockers, B&B oil pump, Moroso oil pan, Edelbrock Victor intake manifold, Quick Fuel 1050 dominator carburetor, full MSD ignition, B&M remote mount oil cooler, remote mount oil filter, and a serpentine drive system. It also has a Vintage Air A/C compressor, power steering, and aluminum radiator with dual Spal electric fans. The hinges have been upgraded with Detroit speed billet units that also have struts. The firewall has been smoothed and painted a slick gloss black. The brake Master cylinder has been upgraded with a Baer unit and the intermittent wiper motor is by Detroit Speed. The roll cage comes into the engine compartment through the firewall and adds additional structural stability to the car.

TRUNK COMPARTMENT: An electronic trunk popper was installed that opens by remote. The underside of the trunk lid and jambs are painted as slick like the body. Billet hinges were installed and the weather stripping was replaced. The entire trunk compartment has been boxed and carpeted. There is a rear panel that conceals the subwoofer and amplifier. The yellow top optima battery has been relocated to the trunk and has a custom billet mount.

UNDERSIDE: This car has received a thorough rotisserie restoration with many upgrades underneath to improve ride quality and driver experience! It now has a brand new Detroit Speed hydroformed front subframe that was developed for road and track applications and includes power rack and pinion steering, tubular control arms, sway bar, adjustable coilover springs and more. The front and back are connected with welded, countersunk frame rails making this a full frame car. The rear suspension was also upgraded with a Detroit Speed Quadra Link ensemble including many tubular components, panhard bar, swaybar and adjustable coil over shocks as well. The entire brake system was upgraded and has Baer calipers, 6 piston in front, slotted and drilled rotors at all four corners. This car has a really slick custom dual exhaust system including ceramic coated stainless steel headers and an oval center section with x-pipe that leads to Borla Pro XS mufflers. Even the exhaust tips have been ceramic coated black, and they exit under the rear bumper. It also has a custom stainless steel gas tank with all new lines and a Holley high performance billet mechanical fuel pump. Looking up at the 537 cubic inch Dart engine is impressive. It is fresh and clean with an extra capacity oil pan and high torque starter. The Tremec Magnum 6-speed manual transmission is also brand new and spotless. It has a Spec dual disc clutch with hydraulic throwout bearing. That transfers power through a custom aluminum drive shaft which leads to a Moser 9" rear end with 3.89 posi gearing. The car has also been upgraded with Detroit Speed mini tubs to accommodate the fat meats. The floors are rust-free, totally smooth, and shiny with gloss black paint.

SERVICE: Our team of professional mechanics has completed a thorough inspection of this vehicle and only needed to rewire the headlights and rewire the passenger window switch. When we purchased this car, it was very dialed in!

Part engineering and part soul! This car literally can do it all! Go to Road America on the track or go get ice cream with the kids! The possibilities are endless behind the wheel of this custom pro touring Firebird. This car was done absolutely right, it's the real deal! Don't think twice, save yourself a bunch of money and it done!
