Introduction: Loved since new! This car only had 2 owners until
2019 when it received a comprehensive restoration that looks
absolutely amazing. The totally rebuilt #'s matching 400 engine is
a very nice bonus. We have a binder full of documentation including
service receipts, owners manual, original brochure, restoration
photos and more. It also has PHS paperwork and the glovebox pouch
with protect-o-plate. What an amazing find!
EXTERIOR: The Palladium Silver paint was applied with great
attention to detail and the metal flake is distributed evenly. It
was all polished to a smooth and shiny finish. Looking down the
side of the body it is nice and straight with smooth contours and
sharp lines. The panels are all nicely aligned with good gaps that
are above average. The long doors close easily with minimal effort.
It's equipped with dual sport mirrors. The fiberglass hood with
dual scoops looks really tough. The windshield was replaced and the
remaining glass has some minor scratches. The rear bumper was
recromed and the taillights look real nice. The headlights and
bezels are in great shape, as is the front grille. The rubberized
front bumper does have a couple hairline cracks in the paint. It's
all rolling on a nice set of 14" Pontiac Rally II wheels that are
wrapped in reproduction Firestone Wide Oval tires.
INTERIOR: I'm sitting in what looks to be a pretty immaculate
interior down on the floor. The headliner was replaced. The seats
were reupholstered. The door panels look like new and the drivers
side has a toggle for the remote mirror. The center console with
cup holders hidden in the arm rest is a sweet upgrade that's in
fantastic condition too. The gauge bezel and dash pad were
replaced. The steering wheel, gauges, radio, sun visors, and
seatbelts appear to be nice originals. It has fresh carpet with
Pontiac mats and all the interior lights are working.
ENGINE COMPARTMENT: This is the original engine the car was born
with! The numbers matching 400 has the VIN stamped on the block.
One of my favorite factory engines of all time. It was completely
rebuilt, balanced and bored .030 over. The alternator, power
steering, and power brake booster/master cylinder all look fresh.
The radiator was recorred and the heater core was replaced. The
battery is properly secured. The horn and squirters are hooked up.
All the hoses and belts were replaced. The hood hinges also look
new. The underside of the fiberglass hood is neatly painted black
just like the firewall and fenderwells. The original cowl tag is in
place.
TRUNK COMPARTMENT: Under the trunk lid and inside the jamb are
painted Palladium silver just like the body. A reproduction jack
sticker was added and the weatherstrip was replaced. It's equipped
with a trunk mat, original looking spare tire, and jack assembly.
Under the mat has neatly applied spatter finish paint.
UNDERSIDE: Stock in appearance but totally fresh. Virtually every
inch of this undercarriage was rebuilt, refurbished, or restored.
The steering and suspension were completely redone. Both front and
back have swaybars which is part of the ride & handling package. It
also has front disc brakes, new lines, and the emergency brake is
hooked up. A fresh dual exhaust was installed including the correct
style transverse muffler. The gas tank was replaced. Looking up at
the #'s matching engine everything is neatly painted Pontiac blue.
The Turbo 400 automatic transmission also looks recently serviced
with a fresh linkage. It's equipped with a beefy 12 bolt rear end.
The floors appear to be solid with a neatly applied satin black
paint.
SERVICE: We take pride in our cars and reputation. Therefore, we
built a 2 million dollar, 10,000 square ft service center, and
hired a team of technicians to work it. This is so we can sell you
the best cars within reason.
This Firebird has got the formula for happiness! The #'s matching
400 engine will put a smile on your face every time you mash the
gas pedal. Do not hesitate; it's finally your time to fly!
For nearly 30 years, I, Jay Grams, have personally written the
highlights for almost every car in our collection. What I provide
is my professional opinion based on my experience with these
vehicles. However, opinions can vary, and I strongly recommend a
personal inspection to form your own view. Our sales team is always
available to answer any questions you may have. One great option is
to request a personalized walk-around video, where we can showcase
the car and share our team's insights. **Our cars are displayed
within a museum setting. If you are interested in a specific
vehicle, please schedule an appointment with a salesperson to view
it. Without an appointment, there is an admission fee to enter the
showroom. If you decide to purchase a car, your admission will be
refunded, and you'll receive a one-year museum membership.
