1968 Pontiac Firebird Coupe

1968 Pontiac Firebird LS1 Restomod Pro Touring

Attracts a crowd wherever you go. Beautiful Harley black cherry paint. Turn-key driver with modern reliability, safety, and comfort. 2K miles since build. Will reliably get you anywhere. Don't fall into the trap of buying a fresh & shiny "build and flip" that hasn't had shakedown miles to get everything sorted.
Unbelievably cold A/C on this build. Normally I never make a point about this in cars I own but this A/C is colder than any car/home/office building/boat/plane that I've ever experienced. See the last pic. The car can be 90 degrees and you'll have the A/C blowing out low 50's in 3 minutes. Give it 5 minutes and you're in the 40's. It's unreal how good it works.
Car comes with a 2nd trunk lid that has no wing.
All 4 tires just replaced.
