This 1968 Pontiac Firebird brings the heat with its Verdoro Green paintwork, a color that became an instant classic when introduced on Pontiac's muscle cars. The sleek, aerodynamic body lines of this first-generation F-body are accentuated by the vibrant hue, creating a striking contrast against the chrome bumpers and trim. Rolling on 14-inch Rally II wheels with color-matched centers and wrapped in BF Goodrich Radial T/A 225/60R14 tires, this Firebird combines vintage style with modern performance. The addition of a hood-mounted tachometer and Firebird 400 badging hints at the power upgrades lurking within, while maintaining a period-correct appearance that enthusiasts crave.
Inside, the black interior offers a perfect blend of comfort and sportiness. The bucket seats provide ample support for spirited driving, while the absence of a center console maintains a clean, uncluttered look. A three-spoke aftermarket steering wheel and Hurst Competition Plus shifter with a custom knob add a touch of racing flair. The dashboard houses a vintage-style AM/FM radio with auxiliary input, seamlessly integrating modern connectivity without compromising the classic aesthetics. For the performance-minded driver, a trio of Bosch gauges mounted under the dash provides crucial engine data at a glance.
Powering this Pontiac is a potent 400 cubic inch V8 engine, a 1973 vintage block that's been carefully integrated into this '68 chassis. The engine bay showcases a mix of stock and performance upgrades, including an Edelbrock Performer Pontiac intake manifold and an Edelbrock Performer AFB-style carburetor. Long tube headers feed into a Flowmaster exhaust system, delivering a muscular soundtrack. The powerplant is mated to a Muncie M20 4-speed manual transmission, allowing for full control over the V8's output. With power steering and front disc brakes, this Firebird offers a blend of classic muscle car performance and more modern handling characteristics.
