This custom 1968 Pontiac Firebird 400 began as a one-family-owned
original 400 car that underwent a no-expense-spared, full custom
build while maintaining primarily stock body lines. Power comes
from a professionally built 400ci V8 engine bored and stroked to
468ci by Ed Nereaux Racing Engines. The engine was built to 500hp
specs and features forged internals, hardened components, a solid
high-performance cam and an EFI throttle-body fuel injection
system. The new Edelbrock aluminum heads are built to
high-performance specs, including roller rockers by SD Performance
(Super Duty Performance) in Chilliwack, BC, Canada. The engine is
paired with a TCI 6-speed automatic transmission equipped with a
shift kit. It features a serpentine front accessories drive, Be
Cool heavy-duty aluminum radiator with dual electric puller fans
and MSD 6A ignition. The body was refinished in a custom Wineberry
Pearl Metallic basecoat/clearcoat finish that shows beautifully,
with a 2-inch rear tub extension incorporated into the metalwork.
Suspension upgrades include a TCI independent front suspension with
2-inch drop spindles, rack & pinion steering, coilovers and a
heavy-duty 1-inch sway bar. The rear features a TCI torque-arm
4-link setup with billet coilovers, TCI sway bar, subframe
connectors and a 9-inch Truetrac posi-traction rear end. Braking is
handled by Wilwood 4-piston power disc brakes with drilled and
slotted 12-inch rotors and Dynalite calipers at all four corners.
Exhaust gases flow through ceramic-coated headers and a custom
stainless exhaust system. The custom interior features leather
upholstery, a TCI Outlaw shifter, Autometer gauge package, Vintage
Air heating and cooling, tilt steering column and new carpeting.
The car rides on custom Schott polished aluminum wheels measuring
18x8 inches in the front and 18x9 inches in the rear, wrapped in
Nitto Extreme radials, size 235/40 and 255/45. This Firebird
represents an exceptional, professionally executed build using
high-quality components throughout, offering modern performance and
comfort in a timeless classic design. The car has only 529
shakedown miles since completion and is accompanied by build
receipts, including engine build documentation.
