This is a numbers matching, rotisserie restored, 1968 Firebird 400 4 speed. It is PHS documented. All original sheet metal and rust free. The car was media blasted inside and out and epoxy primered before receiving the base coat/clear coat Vernado Green color. Purists cover your ears. I added the stripes to break up the green. I also wanted a rear spoiler, but did not like the Camaro one everybody else uses. The Trans-Am spoiler and color keyed tail light panel sets the car off. The purist will not like the drilled and slotted power assisted 4 wheel disc brake conversion either, but now it stops like it should. I have the originals. I have receipts for all the parts and machine work. A partial list is as follows: New Hurst shifter ( still have the original ), all new wiring, new heater control, new tach, carpet, seat foam and covers, headliner, door panels, Pypes stainless exhaust system, BF Goodrich T/A Radials (245/60/15), stainless brake and fuel lines, stereo with new technology, Be-Cool aluminum radiator, fan clutch, Pertronix ignition conversion, TRW .030" forged pistons, Crane's new version of the 068 Pontiac HO cam, Comp 1.65:1 roller tipped rockers, Edelbrock Torker manifold ( have original), clutch system, water, oil and fuel pumps, rear anti sway bar, new correct rear springs, re-built original Quadrajet carb and aftermarket Ram Air style air filter ( have original). I also have the original steering wheel assembly.
The engine has just over 500 miles on it. The car runs strong, corners hard and stops on a dime. It is always a draw at the shows. Please feel free to call me at 309-645-6106 with any questions. Happy bidding and good luck. Rick.

GM expands ignition switch recall to over 1.3 million cars amid climbing death toll
Tue, 25 Feb 2014
588,000 Saturn Sky, Saturn Ion, Pontiac Solstice and Chevy HHR models join the 778,000 cars already being recalled.
General Motors has announced a massive expansion of a 778,000-unit recall we told you about two weeks ago, doubling not only the total number of cars affected but expanding the recall beyond Chevrolet Cobalt and Pontiac G5 models previously mentioned. The recall originally centered around ignition switches that could slip out of the "run" position if jostled or if any weight was applied to the key in the cylinder.
Watch as Hot Rod goes from El Paso to LA the hard way
Tue, 21 Feb 2012There are few things simultaneously more romantic and idiotic than taking a road trip in a beaten-down heap of a car. Trust us. We know. David Freiburger and Mike Finnegan of Hot Rod Magazine fame recently undertook an epic trip from El Paso, Texas to Los Angeles with the express goal of doing so for under $1,500, including the purchase price of a vehicle, food, lodging, repairs and, most importantly, fuel. With this in mind, the duo settled on a 1972 Pontiac Catalina for a lofty $650. Hilarity ensues.
Realizing that no one actually wants a Catalina sulking around the shop, Freiburger and Finnegan put the car up for auction on eBay Motors the instant they had the title in hand. By the time they rolled into Hot Rod HQ, the vehicle sold for a little over $500.
The video is part of a new series called Roadkill that should document similar adventures. Keep your eyes peeled for more calamity-soaked clips in the near future. In the meantime, hit the jump to check it out yourself.
Tony Stewart to star in Smoke Is The Bandit web series
Mon, 10 Mar 2014NASCAR driver Tony Stewart is making good use of his nickname Smoke in new videos inspired by the 1970s classic Smokey and the Bandit. The original is one of the quintessential automotive movies of its era with a fantastic combination of slapstick comedy and great car stunts in a Pontiac Firebird Trans Am. If you've never seen it, check it out immediately.
In the new six-part Smoke IS the Bandit web series, Stewart takes on the role of Burt Reynolds' famous character complete with huge mustache. But instead of trying to smuggle cases of Coors beer it's Mobil 1 oil. The series promises to recreate many of the famous scenes from the movie and includes cameos from other NASCAR drivers.
To complete the look, future videos just need a quality replacement for a young Sally Field to ride shotgun. It would also be really cool if Reynolds could make a brief appearance at some point. Scroll down to check out the trailer and the first episode in the series.
