1968 Pontiac Firebird 400 Tribute - Completely Restored

1968 Pontiac Firebird Description

BEAUTIFUL and well-built 1968 Pontiac Firebird with less than 500 miles since complete professional restoration in 2014. Originally a 350 car, it now has a professionally built '67 GTO 400 engine (see engine build sheet) with over 425 hp. The car shows very well and attracts a lot of attention. It has a very stout drive line and is a blast to drive...very fast. It sounds unbelievable.
This is a well-documented car including PHS documentation, the original build/broadcast sheet from Pontiac (found under the rear seat), and receipts for the parts and engine build. The list of high performance parts is extensive. The car comes with a complete folder of receipts, documentation and build specs.
The total cost to build this car was just over $40,000, receipts included with the car.

I have gotten many inquiries about this car. As noted in description, over $40K was invested in this build, but the reserve is FAR LESS than this due to a divorce/financial situation. You cannot come close to building this car for the reserve price.

As I mention in the listing, the car sounds incredible and has lots of power. Many have asked for a video, but eBay will not allow me to post a link here. A friend took a video of me leaving a car show last Saturday, which will show you the paint, you will be able to hear the exhaust, and you will "see" the power. :)
Search for "Phil's Departure from Cars & Coffee on 04-30-2016" on you tube to see the video.
