LS1-Powered 1968 Pontiac Firebird Convertible
$38,000.00
Description
This 1968 Pontiac Firebird convertible was refurbished before it was first sold on BaT in January 2019, and the seller acquired it on BaT in May 2022. The car is refinished in Verdoro Green and powered by a 5.7-liter LS1 V8 paired with a 4L60E automatic transmission. Additional modifications include Hotchkis suspension components, Wilwood disc brakes, 17″ American Racing wheels, an aluminum driveshaft, a Vintage Air HVAC system, a retro-style stereo with Bluetooth, and Dakota Digital gauges. Work under current ownership has included adding a Sirius XM satellite radio module and replacing the amplifier, subwoofer, and convertible top.
The body was factory-finished in Verdoro Green and was repainted following metal repairs to the quarter panels under previous ownership. Exterior features include chrome bumpers, tinted windows, a replacement tinted windshield, and hood vents. A replacement black convertible top was fitted under current ownership, and it features a zip-out window. Paint chips around the body and forward surfaces are noted and the hood alignment is off.
The 17″ American Racing Torq Thrust wheels are mounted with 225/45 front and 245/45 rear Michelin Pilot Sport tires. The car is equipped with power steering, and the braking system consists of Wilwood four-piston calipers clamping cross-drilled and slotted rotors. A dual-diaphragm brake booster is fitted. The suspension is modified with Hotchkis components including A-arms, an X-brace, and a Chassis Max reinforcement kit.
