Would like to sell my 1968 pro touring Firebird. Details on the car are as follows. Car has been done with the thought that I would keep it, there fore, the best parts and work was done on it. Car does have a hood it right now, althoguht i dont drive around with it on, it will go with it and can be put on if needed/wanted. I personally like the "no hood" look, but that's just me.

$27k OBO

1968 firebird
body has been redone, panels been replaced
Painted a single stage Flat "hot rod" black
Body work seems to be done very well.
Sub frame was repainted.
The side firebird emblems were shaved as well as little other details.
Car is on an airbag setup. It might be an old ridetech setup but no one that I talk too is for sure, so I cant tell you the brand, if any, one way or another. I bought the car as a rolling chassis so I do not have pictures prior to this.


Drive train is a LQ4 with 4l80 trans, had around 70k miles from a truck
Holley oil pan, motor mounts and headers where used, trans mount was made and acc brackets are from Kiwk proframnce.
Has a mild cam comp cam 220/224 with new dual valve springs, retainers and ls2 lifters
Under drive crank pulley
Has Kiwk prefromance lsx AC bracket with a Saden compressor already mounted. but do not have AC
Has power steering
Full 6an SS fuel lines with areomotive FPR
New areomotive F body fuel tank with a 340 pump built in.. This was a complete unit from them, bolt in and go.
Professional products intake with a fast 92mm TB
Polished valve covers and coils relocated toward the front of the car
Has lokar gas pedal with all polished accessories to make it work
Installed the Dakota digital gauges with the BIM 1 for LS motors to make everything work correctly.

Interior is all new form classic car industry.
its the standard interior with new window regulators
Has new weather stripping and new clear back glass.
The side and front are OEM but the front oem has a small crack on the inside of the windshield on the passenger side lower part where it crack a little bit getting it out. I was going to replace it but its done cracking and it is OEM, so i reinstalled it and had no trouble since.
Front and back glass trim is OEM from what I can tell.
I modified the center console to accept a B and M hammer shifter and had it recover in black leather.
Seats were redone with classic seat covers, repairs were made where they needed it.
I only with back with lap belts, so no 3 point harness here.
Battery is located in the back.

Wheels are CCW 505's with Nitto tires. 19x 10 and 19 x 11. The rears are almost new and are 305/30/19. The fronts are 275/35/19 and will need to be replaced. The outset for the wheel are from a C5 corvette that I had on another corvette I had, so I'm using adapters from Motorsport tech so you know they are high quality.

Any other questions, please contact me directly at [email protected] . Thanks

Nice car! Gotta ask tho, how did you fit 19x10 on the front with a stock subframe?
Love 505s btw, had a set of 19x10, 20x13 on my Z06.
