This is the details that the owner before me had when he was selling the car...
This is a 1968 Pontiac Firebird Original Pink Mist Color Option with No Rust!
This car was a one owner car until I bought it in February! The lady we bought it from said her dad bought her the car for her high school graduation. The dealership her dad bought it from new told him the car had been ordered for Nancy Sinatra and then she bought something else.
I have every service slip since 1968. The car hadn't been driven very much the last 15 years but it had been garaged.
I bought the car thinking it needed very little work. I did everything thing that need to be done to make it right. I originally intended on fixing the engine and just doing the paint and interior work to make it showroom original condition. The car was painted about 1 year ago but the prep work was done by the original owners husband not the body shop. I was going to get the car repainted but since it's pink you may want to do it a different color. Interior is all original, probably a 5 on a scale of 10.
The more I investigated the mechanics the more it needed and I did it all!!! The problem is I ran out of money and the paint and interior still aren't done. On top of that I'm getting married (the car was going to be for her) on April 17th and now I need the money worse than the car. My fiancée and I have talked about it and decided to sell the car and pay off some of our bills.
This car origianlly came with a 350 2 bbl carb and a 2 speed auto transmission. I have upgraded the car as follows.
New (rebuilt with all new parts and shipped in a crate) Pontiac 400 Engine New GM 200 R4 Transmission 4 speed with overdrive and lockup torque converter New KYB gas shocks on the front New adjustable air shocks on the rear New 4 Wheel Disc Brake conversion kit with all steel lines New master cylinder New Steering Box and Steering Wheel New Water Pump New Edelbrock 650 Intake Manifold and New Edelbrock 4 Bbl Carburetor New Custom Flowmaster Exhaust New Eagle 2 Piece Alloy Rims 15 x 7 and 4 new BF Goodrich TA's 235/60R 15 Recharged AC
The only big thing that this man failed to do was install headers while the engine was out and everything was in easy access.
Than when I got the car he was right the interior was pretty bad but the engine was all nice.. I replaced the floor carpet and also the door panel carpet. Bought new edlebrock valve covers and also a new edlebrock air intake housing. Also the front two tires were to large for the wheel wells so I got smaller tires for the front.
Ive been looking around for a new shifter probably a slap shifter one that would fit in the console without sticking out... any ideas on that?
Future planes new seat covers front buckets and back. and it would be nice to do something about the gauges.
