Pontiac Firebird 400 1968

Allmän beskrivning : Frame Off Restored Resto Mod
Many Upgrades and Features
PHS Documented

Legendary Motorcar is proud to present this 1968 Pontiac Firebird 400 Hardtop
The first generation Firebird, unlike its Chevrolet Camaro cousin, had bumpers integrated into the design of the front end and rear "slit" taillights were inspired by the Pontiac GTO. The 1968 Pontiac Firebird underwent few changes going into its second year. Changes included a one-piece side door glass window in place of side vent wing windows and the exterior also gained fender marker lights. The interior received some revisions and the rear suspension was refined with the adoption of staggered shocks. Both a two-door hardtop and a convertible were offered through the 1969 model year.
This 1968 Pontiac Firebird 400 Hardtop has been fully restored having undergone a frame off restoration and upgraded with many features which make it a stand out among its kind. The factory build document shows that this car was made with a 400 cu. in. V8 with 4 barrel carburetor, an Automatic transmission and optioned with a Safe-T-Track rear axle, Ride and Handling Package, Power Steering, Power Brakes and Soft Ray Glass. This car now has a larger, well tuned and smooth revving 455 big block engine which is topped with a Holley double pumper, Edelbrock Performer intake and MSD ignition which work together to create a great sounding note through the full length stainless steel Magnaflow exhaust. The engine has been detailed with a chrome oil pan and valve covers which add to the appeal of the very clean and highly detailed engine bay. Driveability improvements have been realized with the addition of Hotchkis upper control arms, new front and rear sway bars, gas shocks, four wheel disc brakes and a smooth 5-speed manual transmission with Hurst shifter to go along with the 10 bolt rear end. The exterior solid Burgundy paint is in very good overall condition and refinished to a great looking, quality factory look, it has been polished to show off its deep rich color and wonderful shine. The front and rear bumpers have been re-chromed and present in as-new condition; all exterior trim which is in excellent condition has been entirely restored or replaced including both full length rocker and all wheel well trim, mouldings, accents, and emblems. The interior is very nice with the seat covers, dash, door panels and woodgrain center console being in very good original condition – also of note is the custom wooden steering wheel, full set of Auto Gage gauges and carpets, which have been replaced, appearing as-new. On the hoist, one can appreciate the restorative efforts as the frame and floors have been stripped, blasted and refinished properly, and component parts have been disassembled, cleaned and reassembled with new hardware; also see all new brake lines and fuel lines. The final look is all classic with a nice set of Cragar S/S wheels mounted with a slightly staggered set of BFG T/A’s tires, 215/ 65/15 up front and 225/70/15 rears.
This car comes with a copy of the original Window Sticker and Pontiac Historical build document. Having been recently serviced, this fantastic Firebird 400 requires nothing except to be immediately enjoyed by its new owner.

om Pontiac
Pontiac, en division av General Motors (GM), hade en distinkt position inom företagets hierarki och spelade en viktig roll i bilhistoria. Här är en översikt över Pontiac historia och några av dess mest ikoniska modeller fram till 1980 -talet:

Position i GM -hierarki:
Särskild identitet: Pontiac ockuperade en unik plats inom GM, känd för sina prestationsorienterade fordon och ungdomlig varumärke.
Midnivåmärke: Placerat ovanför Chevrolet men under de mer exklusiva uppdelningarna som Oldsmobile, Buick och Cadillac syftade Pontiac till att erbjuda prisvärda men ändå sportiga bilar.
Historik och anmärkningsvärda modeller:
Pontiac GTO (1964-1974):
Ikonisk muskelbil: anses vara den första sanna amerikanska muskelbilen, blandning av prestanda och stil.
Specifikationer: V8 -motorer, kraftfull prestanda och aggressiv styling gjorde GTO oerhört populärt.
Pontiac Firebird (1967-1981):
Muskelbil och ponnybil: delade plattformen med Chevrolet Camaro, med distinkta Pontiac -styling -signaler.
Varianter: Erbjuds olika modeller och motoralternativ, inklusive Trans AM, som fick beröm genom filmer som "Smokey and the Bandit."
Pontiac Grand Prix (1962-2008):
Personlig lyxbil: Ursprungligen förvandlades en i full storlek, senare till en medelstor modell, känd för sin blandning av komfort och prestanda.
Evolution: Under åren övergick den från en prestationsorienterad bil till ett mer lyxigt erbjudande.
Pontiac Bonneville (1957-2005):
Flaggskeppsmodell: Startade som en bil i full storlek och utvecklas till ett lyxigt och tekniskt avancerat fordon.
Innovation: Känd för att introducera funktioner som bränsleinsprutning, vilket gör det till en symbol för Pontiacs tekniska framsteg.
Påverkan och arv:
Prestationsbild: Pontiac snidade en nisch för sig själv genom att betona prestanda, sportighet och innovation och locka yngre och entusiastförare.
Marknadsföringsframgång: Innovativa marknadsföringsstrategier och framgångsrika racinginsatser bidrog till Pontiacs popularitet och varumärkesimage.
Produktionens upphörande: Tyvärr, på grund av ekonomiska begränsningar och förändringar i konsumentpreferenser, avbröt GM Pontiac -varumärket 2010 och markerade slutet på sin arv i bilindustrin.
