The current owner obtained the car locally and has made some tasteful upgrades since. The red gloss paint nicely contrasts with the dark trim. Adding to the curb appeal is hood scoops, fog lights, matching matted door handles and trim around fog and rear lights, spoiler lip and dual exhaust. This firebird sports 18" ASA black alloy wheels with a polished lip wrapped in offset radial tires giving a menacing stance. Keeping the same black and red theme, the interior sports black vinyl seats, black redone carpeting, black door panels, black dash and a white Hurst shifter knob that ties it all together. This 400 Tribute not only gives you Pontiac V8 performance, but it also gives you modern touches. Options include upgraded sound system/speakers, AM/FM/CD radio, power steering and front power disc brakes, seat belts and radial tires. Powering this Firebird is a 400 CID V8 engine mated to a Muncie 4 speed manual transmission. According to the owner, the engine has about 2,500 miles since being rebuilt and the tranny has about 16,000 miles since its rebuild. Owner also claims the paint was done in 2022, front end rebuilt, brakes and rotors updates, windshield replaced, replaced carpet, updated sound system/speakers etc. If you're looking for the ultimate 70's muscle car, this could be the one for you!
