1968 Pontiac Firebird 400 4-speed

Description for Pontiac Firebird 1968

This 1968 Pontiac Firebird features a 4-speed manual transmission with a 400-cid engine block from a full-size 1970 Pontiac and high-flow code 48 heads from a 1969 350 HO or Ram Air III car. Has power brakes, front disc brakes, power steering, 15-inch American Racing 200S wheels, a 1969 Trans Am rear spoiler, and a brand-new battery.
The transmission is a 4-speed manual and it sends its power to a 12-bolt rear-end with posi-traction and 4:11 gears.
I find very little filler in the body, just a couple of spots in the lower front fenders ahead of the doors.
Inside, this car retains factory black vinyl upholstery, and it does not have A/C.
The 98,000 miles displayed on the odometer cannot be confirmed as original mileage.
Issues: The rear air shocks hold no air. There is a patch panel below the driver's footwell. The exhaust is very loud, but that is a good thing for a lot of car guys. I replaced the speedometer cable, but the speedometer is off by approximately 10 mph off at around 80 mph, perhaps due to a different tire diameter than stock. Four holes are drilled into each front fender, probably by a previous owner who wanted to add 1969 Trans Am gills to make a "what if" 1968 Trans Am. The holes are covered by carriage bolts.
I have a Hotchkiss lowering kit that I will sell separately. It includes front coil springs and rear leaf springs that provide a 2-inch drop, Bilstein shocks, and front and rear sway bars. Also offered separately are a tachometer, a Monte Carlo SS steering gear, aftermarket seat belts, Mickey Thompson valve covers, and xenon headlights.
