Description for Pontiac Firebird 1971
Let me start by saying this is a clone. I have had this car Since 1987. It originally was an esprit 350 auto. I rebuilt a 400 in 1994 and put on; 1969 gto ram air 3 heads, I put an .068 lift cam in it, 900cfm edelbrock rochester quadrajet with bigger jets in the front and back along with smaller rods in the front and back, I built the motor back in 1995, sorry I don’t know how many miles I have put on it but it runs like the day I built it. The car was in a movie called (Full Count) 11 years ago, the nose had cracks in the paint and I wanted it to look good for the movie, soI took it to several paint shops and they all told me they could not fix the paint, because the cracks would just come back in a month, so I redid the paint on the nose my self using dupont chromaclear urethane paint. I put 10 coats of clear coat and then 3 coats of black then another 6 coats of clear (the more coats of clear the more flexible the paint is) and it has not cracked in the 11yearssince I did it. The rest of the paint was done in 1996 so it is pretty old. I have a factory working ratchet shifter. Aluminized H pipe exhaust. It has power windows and power locks. All gauges work great. That is the original speed odometer. The air conditioning blows cold. I have an after marked steering wheel on it, but I have the original bandit steering wheel that I got back in 1988 and it is in perfect shape I just took it off so that it would not get ruined. Last year I put a new 1 & ½ turn (stop to stop) steering box in it. I just replaced the proportion valve, pass. Rear caliper, and rear rubber line. the dash is perfect no cracks.
In between 1987 and 1996 I replaced several things here is a list of what I did:
Put stabilizer bars from a 1977 bandit trans am front and rear
Same car is where I got the dash, dash plate, steering wheel, steering wheel gold bird, shifter gold bird
Replaced both rear quarters
The left front fender and door is from a 1980 trans am
The right front fender is from a 1977 trans am
The right door is from a 1979 trans am
