Description for Pontiac Firebird 1978

1978 Pontiac Firebird Espirit (Hey ROCKFORD FANS!).

Time to let this beauty go, She's such a jewell, but an historic home renovation investment carried surprise necessities, and wins the hand.

This car is a specialized investment and quite unique, especially under the hood. She cruises around like a nice girl, but can get up and boogie Pronto. Includes:

350 cid small block Chevy(380 hp bump upwith the extensive engine modifications) MSD Atomic Fuel Injectio, Edelbrock RPM Air Gap intak, Trick Flow Research aluminum cylinder heads, Coated Headers.Super T-104 speed manual transmission . Center Force Clutch. Hurst shifter, etc as seen in pics and record. Odometer Miles at present hour: 91,223

Any ROCKFORD FILE peeps looking for a solid model for conversion as per the show, have a great running start as this one isn't too far of from completion.

James Garner's famed arsenal of Birds used on the show were either wrecked, given as gifts or sold long ago. With the advent of Trans Am seemed to vaccuum up a little more glory than her predescessor. That didnt faze Fan collectors, or lovers who continue search and swoop up thenot always so easily found Esprit. The slightly more conservative presentation of the Espirit remains a smart and classy sport coupe thatJimbo made famous, along with his signature J-Turns(powered by a standard TA 400 engine). replica remakes have always beendemonstratably documented, and are on the rise. Completed replicas sell for many thousands more than other wise would.

This baby can be Rockford ready in a few strokes of the proverbial pen. This baby's goal was that eventual destination. Added bonus ismuscle under this hood considerably pumping up the Alpha HP factor. Got J-Turn fever? Bang A Gong and Get it on!

Have all paperwork and meticulous upkeep/ upgrade records. Previous owner as well as the previous original owner kept painfully detailed descriptions(as have we) of any work, where done, reciepts, etc of care and meticulously logged upkeep, upgrades, modifications, body, interior and engine builds to a "T" in detail through the years. This car has been loved. Although she's got racing power under the hood, is adaptable to street performance if desired. Atomic EFI is somewhat self learning, and/or cam shaft manipulation or removal. May be other tactics I dont know about. Originally came from Sterling, IL . As per its extensive ownership labor and specialized parts purchase records, logging notes and provided pics, there's a lot of invested time, labor and money tucked under the hood and some suspension adaptations, strengthening, etc.
Body is in pretty exceptional shape. Interior shots included in pics. Seats could have been re-upholstered at some point, but appear original coloring. Body color is Caramel Ochre and was repainted once to its current original color by previous owner. Full

Removable plate Kenwood Stereo and Bose speakers(total 4).
