68 PONTIAC FIREBIRD 400 PRO TOURING

Description

1968 Firebird 400 full custom restoration

No expense spared on this amazing firebird 400 as you can clearly see from the photos. This was a frame off restoration, starting with a blasted and powder coated frame. The work done on this car, and the meticulous professionals who performed it, has not only made it incredibly well built that will last years to come, but also likely one of the nicest Firebirds of this year you will see anywhere. The paint and body alone on this car was north of $15K and we knew the shop owner and got a deal. It's an amazing paint job and one of the nicest quality paint jobs you will ever see. There is no car on Ebay or anywhere else that can compare to this car. It is the envy of many other car owners, both classic and exotic. We have a large book of receipts that go with it and a very well documented build. It would cost at least $50K to redo this build to this caliber without the cost of the base car, and you still likely won't have an original California black plate, original 400 model, AC, mostly original sheet metal car. There is no "get by" work done. Everything was done by some of the best people in the business. Below are some details on the car, but there was much much more work done than listed. Bid with confidence that this Firebird is first rate. I have also included a link below to show a video of start up and run of the car.

Again, as you can see this is an absolutely beautiful car and would cost a large sum of money to recreate, and still not be able to have some of the attributes this car has.

Head turner would be a gross understatement of this vehicle and it comes with a lot of bragging rights. This is truly one of a kind, and you can hardly drive a block without someone giving a thumbs up, or yelling out a compliment. The sound from the car is equally as impressive. If you are considering a muscle car, or are a Firebird enthusiast, this is a do not pass up opportunity. Not often does a muscle car of any make, this nice, come up for sale. We spent over 5 years on this car, a great deal of money, and selling this vehicle is something I have given a great deal of consideration to, and as I have other interests to pursue right now, it has come time.

The car starts and drives with no problems, and the experience of driving it is nothing short of incredible.

While every effort is made to describe the car with accuracy, buyers are encouraged to contact me with inquiries or questions.

I also have this car for sale in other venues, so should a deal be made outside of Ebay, this auction will end at that time.

Please reach out with any questions. Vehicle is available locally for inspection. Vehicle is sold as is, where is,with no warranties expressed or implied.

1968 Firebird 400 full custom restoration UPDATES 12-15: Some important additional notes to this listing. A lot of people are asking about the reserve and possible outright sale price. While I will not disclose the reserve, I am open to an outright sale. The car is also listed nationally, so if a sale is made during this auction, it will end at that time. Also, mileage listed is just a rounded odometer reading. Should not be taken as actual. MORE CAR NOTES: This is not a car with any "get by" work, so it is not a bargain car. The paint and body alone was in the neighborhood of $15K and the shop owner was a friend of mine so I got a bit of a break. One of the best builders in the business did all of the work after the body was finished. I have a large book of receipts on the car. The car has never seen water since it's return to me. All washes are dry wipe downs and clay bar and polish by professionals. I won't even drive it until at least 3 or 4 days days after a rain for fear of driving through water. Quite simply, if your desire is to have one of the nicest firebirds anywhere, this is for you. We put tens of thousands into this car, and the fortunate new owner will be very pleased with it, but it will come at the right price. It took 2 years just to pick out the perfect color for it. There is much more done to the car than listed below, but it's just too much to write out. Original: No expense spared on this amazing firebird 400 as you can clearly see from the photos.
