Body off frame restored to a factory correct 400 tribute right down
to reproduction T3 headlights and Wide Oval tires. A stack of
restoration receipts are included.
EXTERIOR: This is one good looking Firebird. The body and paint
work is outstanding, every panel is straight and smooth right down
to the very bottom. No rust or damage, it fits right too. It has
the good looking dual scooped Firebird 400 hood. Repainted its
original Verdoro Green and I can tell you it didn't look this good
when it was new! The metal flake is laid out evenly and the clear
coat is polished like glass. All of the chrome has been replaced, I
love the arrowhead marker lights on the quarter panels. New black
power top. New sparkling chrome period correct 14x6 Cragars in
front and 14x7s in back wrapped in reproduction Firestone Wide Oval
tires.
INTERIOR: It is completely restored inside and features a deluxe
interior. This includes the burlwood trim, comfort weave
upholstery, molded door panels and more. The seats have new
cushions and upholstery, door panels and carpet were replaced. It
even has a new reproduction set of seatbelts and floor mats. Other
features include the console, clock, factory Am-Fm radio and new
reproduction deluxe wheel. The dash area is very clean: new heater
control panel, reupholstered dash pad, 160 mph speedometer, new
knobs, and vents etc. The most fun feature is the New Hurst
shifter!
ENGINE COMPARTMENT: The engine compartment is completely restored
and highly detailed to factory specifications. Professionally
rebuilt 400 was bored .30 over and balanced. It has stock
manifolds, carburetor, reproduction chrome valve covers and a
complete air cleaner assembly right down to the heat riser tube.
All the brackets and pulleys are restored, the alternator is new.
It also features new power steering and power brake units. It runs
cool with the correct shroud and a heavy duty 4 core radiator. It
is complete down to the correct decals, the squirters are hooked
up, it has reproduction battery cables and hose clamps. All the
metal finishes are painted very smooth and tidy.
TRUNK COMPARTMENT: Very nicely detailed and complete! Under the
trunk lid and the jamb are painted slick like the car, the decal
and weatherstrip have been replaced. Inside is clean metal with a
nice spatter finish and has a new mat and well liner. It even has a
restored jack, space saver spare including the air bottle.
UNDERSIDE: The body was taken off the frame and underneath the car
was completely restored. The front end steering and suspension was
completely rebuilt. Upgraded with KYB gas shocks at all for
corners. The rear suspension has new bushings. All new fuel system
including the tank and lines. Completely rebuilt brake system with
disc in front, new e-brake cables, lines, and hoses. It has a
stainless steel Pypes dual exhaust with a Race Pro muffler and
splitter tips. Looking up at the motor it is spotless, the starter
looks new. It has an M20 Muncie 4-speed transmission which looks
fresh including the linkage. In back is a rebuilt 3.55 posi, the
perfect gear for having fun at the light and still being able to
cruise down the highway. The metal is all clean with a smooth black
finish.
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.
I am very happy with this one. The quality is high! Not to mention
it is a very desirable car with great features and wearing its very
nostalgic color that people love. Imagine the top down, shifting
gears making those Cragars sparkle as they go round and round!
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.
