1969 Pontiac Firebird "Trans Am" Tribute - Absolutely killer clone example of the inagural 1st gen T/A that has been fully restored and tastefully updated! Factory V8-option Firebird that now shows like the ultra-rare Trans Am ground pounder with modern updates and styling. Powered by an era-correct and rebuilt 68/69 Pontiac 400ci engine with some performance goody add-ons matched to a Hughes Performance 700R-OD automatic transmission and correct Pontiac 10-bolt rear. Car sounds as good as it looks thanks to a set of custom headers with a MagnaFlow dual exhaust system. This pristine poncho also navigates any roadway superbly with an updated CCP quick-ratio power steering unit and 4-wheel power disc brakes. All the suspension has been updated with tubular A-arms and a pro-touring style coil/shock setup from Strange Engineering. Perfect stance and a proper aggressive look with custom US MAG 17" PMD Rally wheels wrapped in staggered NITTO sport radial tires. Exterior has been completely re-finished from the original "Verdaro Green" to the T/A specific "Cameo White" with the correct "Tyrol Blue" painted stripe kit. Correct spoiler kit, decklid wing, fender scoops and Ram Air hood have also been added to round-out the tribute as well as beautiful trim from front to back. Body is laser straight with great fitment and excellent lines/gaps. Interior contrasts nicely with correct black tones draped over vinyl seats with woodgrain trim center console and a modern smaller diameter T/A style sport steering wheel. Aftermarket gauges have been installed along with a RetroSound AM/FM/Bluetooth stereo setup for your listening pleasure and a retro-fitted Vintage AC/Heat system to make cruising in any climate comfortable. All lighting has been upgraded to LED/HID and everything works as it should. Engine bay is beautifully detailed while the underside is solid and near spotless. These Firebirds may not fetch as much as their Camaro cousin but when done up like this, it's almost tough to beat. Here is an investment grade restomod with a nod to a true one-of-a-kind muscle car icon. Turn-key ready to enjoy at a fraction of the nearly $150k build cost!
