Description
This is my 1968 Firebird 400 which was sold new in Washington State where salt is not used on the roads so it is virtually rust free. It has 63,000 original miles with one repaint and otherwise very original. The vinyl top is original and still looks excellent. The interior is completely original including carpet and door sill plates with rivets and in excellent condition. The dash pad, console, door panels, etc. have no cracks, marks or scratches. The car has a replacement carb, but I have a nice 1968 400 Firebird automatic carb to go with the car. The original washer pump is installed, but there is a small aftermarket washer pump added to the car. I have not had time to restore the original pump. The car also has a repo front bumper. The original AC still blows cold air and has its original sticker on the AC compressor.
Except for the carb, the drivetrain is totally original including the air cleaner, intake, heads, "born with" matching block, valve covers, idle stop solenoid, heat riser shroud, bolts, nuts, washers, transmission, drive shaft, rear end, etc, etc, etc. I doubt the engine has ever been apart so I suggest that the timing chain be replaced at some point.
Correct 14X6 Rally II wheels are not original but go with the car. The original wheel covers are included and have nice red centers.
This Firebird has been in an enclosed garage and covered most of its life. It has traveled less than 100 miles per year for many years.
Several years ago, I traveled from North Carolina to Washington State to buy this Firebird due to its originality and excellent condition. It was brought across the country in an enclosed trailer. I have only used alcohol free gas mixed with real lead and engine oil containing zinc with additional zinc added at each oil change. I am as picky as anyone in the country when it comes to maintaining an old Pontiac.
I entered it in one judged show at the General Greene Greensboro NC Chapter of AACA where it won a First. It would probably not win a gold at a POCI convention because the engine has never been out to be detailed and the underside and exhaust are not like new--just clean and rust free--except for the exhaust system which is rusted. I am unsure if this is the original exhaust on the car with a replacement muffler.
I am ambivalent about selling the car, but I need more time to complete some work on another Pontiac. Also, I am a CPA, and my wife and I have two young children. I need some more free time for them.
I will not give out the reserve price. If it does not sell, I'll take that as a sign that I should just keep it! And my wife would rather I did not sell it.
If you want an original low mileage authentic great driving Firebird, you will not be disappointed. The car can be seen in Kernersville, North Carolina by appointment, but this is tax season for CPA's so it will need to be later on Saturday or Sunday.
