This is my 1968 Pontiac Firebird. I bought it about 3 years ago and never got around to starting it. I have two other major projects going on now and don't have the time. This is what the car has.

Drivetrain-- rebuilt 400 with 4x heads- never fired- rebuilt 350 tranny with converter. 10 bolt rear. 3 tube header but no exhaust. New motor mounts and starter. No alternator, or steering pump. No radiator. --4 wheel disc brakes with new booster, master cylinder and brake lines. Body-- replaced both quarter, floor pans and trunk center section. New gas tank, traps and gas tank mounts. New subframe bushing also. Have 90% of interior. Have all glass except front windshield and drivers window. Driver fender is good and pass fender has lower patch but usable. Doors have dents on them from being strapped down when it was shipped from Florida when I bought it. Can be fixed or reskinned . Pass side Quarter panel have two small dents on it and driver side has a 5 inch long dent on the body line between the gills and a small dent behind the wheel above the body line. Tail panel has a slit in it by the lock and some bondo on it so knot sure how bad. Roof and deck lid is good no dents. Window Chanel's are good also no holes. Frame and front subframe is solid. Looks like it was already painted Car need pass side front wheel well and both trunk drop offs. Starting to rust under the dash, would need some attention.

I'm a car guy that builds cars and bought cars on eBay before so I'm trying to be as honest as possible with the car so there's no suprises. I did not take this car apart so I'm not sure if all the hardware is here. Performance years,Ames and OPGI are good Pontiac company's and you can get pretty much anything for this car. If I think of anything else I will post it. Good luck.

MotorWeek's 80's GM muscle coupe roundup includes Regal GN and Monte Carlo SS
Thu, Jan 29 2015Even with just four brands in the family, General Motors still represents a performance powerhouse. Between the Chevrolet Corvette Z06, Camaro Z/28, Cadillac CTS-V and ATS-V, The General can still deliver plenty of thrills. The 1980s, though, saw the brand go even crazier with performance. While the Camaro and Corvette were still around back in the day, GM had a number of other interesting performance offerings. The Bowtie was complemented by the long-deceased Monte Carlo SS, while the now-defunct Pontiac and Oldsmobile offered the Grand Prix and thumping 442, respectively. And Buick, which isn't short on performance with its Regal GS and Verano Turbo, offered a much more serious vehicle, in the form of the Grand National (not to mention the Darth Vader-spec GNX). MotorWeek, in its hugely entertaining retro flashbacks, looks back on these three long-lost GM performance icons, and it's just as good as you might expect.

Lutz says Washington killed Pontiac, next G6 was to be ATS derivative
Tue, 29 Oct 2013How many people think Buick or GMC should have gotten the axe instead of Pontiac? You can't see it, but I'm raising my hand. Autoweek reports that former Vice Chairman of GM, Bob Lutz, has indicated that things didn't have to end up the way they did.
"The Feds said, 'Yeah, how much money have you made on Pontiac in the last 10 years?' and the answer was, 'Nothing.'"
In a talk given at the Petersen Automotive Museum for the Inside the MotoMan Studio series, Lutz says "The Feds said, 'Yeah, how much money have you made on Pontiac in the last 10 years?' and the answer was, 'Nothing.' So, it goes. And when the guy who is handing you the check for $53 billion says, 'I don't want Pontiac, drop Pontiac or you don't get the money,' it doesn't take you very long to make up your mind." Lutz even added that the next-generation Pontiac G6 would have benefitted from the rear-wheel-drive platform of the Cadillac ATS. How awesome would that have been?
Lutz dishes dirt on GM in latest Autoline Detroit
Mon, 20 Jun 2011Bob Lutz sits down for Autoline Detroit - Click above to watch video after the jump
Autoline Detroit recently played host to Bob Lutz, and, as is always the case, the former General Motors vice chairman dished out some great commentary. Lutz was promoting his new book Car Guys vs. Bean Counters: The Battle for the Soul of American Business, and talk quickly turned to his role as it related to product development and high-level decision making at GM. While on the topic of brand management, Lutz revealed a few rather interesting tidbits about his former employer:
All Chevrolet vehicles were required to have five-spoke aluminum wheels and a chrome band up front, as part of the Bowtie brand's overall image.
