Introduction: Loved since new! This car only had 2 owners until 2019 when it received a comprehensive restoration that looks absolutely amazing. The totally rebuilt #’s matching 400 engine is a very nice bonus. We have a binder full of documentation including service receipts, owners manual, original brochure, restoration photos and more. It also has PHS paperwork and the glovebox pouch with protect-o-plate. What an amazing find!

EXTERIOR: The Palladium Silver paint was applied with great attention to detail and the metal flake is distributed evenly. It was all polished to a smooth and shiny finish. Looking down the side of the body it is nice and straight with smooth contours and sharp lines. The panels are all nicely aligned with good gaps that are above average. The long doors close easily with minimal effort. It's equipped with dual sport mirrors. The fiberglass hood with dual scoops looks really tough. The windshield was replaced and the remaining glass has some minor scratches. The rear bumper was recromed and the taillights look real nice. The headlights and bezels are in great shape, as is the front grille. The rubberized front bumper does have a couple hairline cracks in the paint. It's all rolling on a nice set of 14” Pontiac Rally II wheels that are wrapped in reproduction Firestone Wide Oval tires.

INTERIOR: I'm sitting in what looks to be a pretty immaculate interior down on the floor. The headliner was replaced. The seats were reupholstered. The door panels look like new and the drivers side has a toggle for the remote mirror. The center console with cup holders hidden in the arm rest is a sweet upgrade that's in fantastic condition too. The gauge bezel and dash pad were replaced. The steering wheel, gauges, radio, sun visors, and seatbelts appear to be nice originals. It has fresh carpet with Pontiac mats and all the interior lights are working.

ENGINE COMPARTMENT: This is the original engine the car was born with! The numbers matching 400 has the VIN stamped on the block. One of my favorite factory engines of all time. It was completely rebuilt, balanced and bored .030 over. The alternator, power steering, and power brake booster/master cylinder all look fresh. The radiator was recorred and the heater core was replaced. The battery is properly secured. The horn and squirters are hooked up. All the hoses and belts were replaced. The hood hinges also look new. The underside of the fiberglass hood is neatly painted black just like the firewall and fenderwells. The original cowl tag is in place.

TRUNK COMPARTMENT: Under the trunk lid and inside the jamb are painted Palladium silver just like the body. A reproduction jack sticker was added and the weatherstrip was replaced. It's equipped with a trunk mat, original looking spare tire, and jack assembly. Under the mat has neatly applied spatter finish paint.

UNDERSIDE: Stock in appearance but totally fresh. Virtually every inch of this undercarriage was rebuilt, refurbished, or restored. The steering and suspension were completely redone. Both front and back have swaybars which is part of the ride & handling package. It also has front disc brakes, new lines, and the emergency brake is hooked up. A fresh dual exhaust was installed including the correct style transverse muffler. The gas tank was replaced. Looking up at the #’s matching engine everything is neatly painted Pontiac blue. The Turbo 400 automatic transmission also looks recently serviced with a fresh linkage. It's equipped with a beefy 12 bolt rear end. The floors appear to be solid with a neatly applied satin black paint.

SERVICE: We take pride in our cars and reputation. Therefore, we built a 2 million dollar, 10,000 square ft service center, and hired a team of technicians to work it. This is so we can sell you the best cars within reason.

This Firebird has got the formula for happiness! The #’s matching 400 engine will put a smile on your face every time you mash the gas pedal. Do not hesitate; it's finally your time to fly!
