1976 Pontiac Firebird Description

 What makes this one very unique is it has been cared for and babied its entire life. Open and close any door or drive it around the block and it will differ from any other you look at because of its low miles and lack of abuse. I purchased this car in 2013 from SW, wner of Elite Motorsports in Austin as a correct, o hit, o rust car with 42k original miles. It was one of his personal cars and a man with a reputation of owning only the best. The 455/Muncie/Posi were all stock, long with completely stock interior and trunk as you see now. When I say stock the 8-track is still there and even an uncut rear dash with single.. It had undergone an incredible paintjob at a described $15k price tag. Please look at the video and you will see the body and paint are stunning, ody gaps correct and make note of how the doors open and close with no sag of effort. The rear leafs and front coils had been replaced with Detroit Speed leafs and front coil-overs along with custom wheels. Handles and corners beautifully and much different than a stock T/A from the 70's.

Like all 455's, t lacked power and ran hot. I contacted Butler, he undisputed Pontiac authority and had them spec out a complete package to enhance it. Edelbrock Aluminum heads, complete Lunati/CC roller cam and roller valve train, F billet carb, delbrock intake, oug's coated headers into a stainless exhaust were all professionally installed by Elite in Austin. I wanted the car to stay completely street-able, ependable and have a very aggressive sound at idle and hit like a hammer on acceleration. I wanted the temperature totally controlled and had the largest Griffin aluminum radiator made that would fit in the stock mounts- it never goes above opening temp. I could go on endlessly about parts and the book of receipts will detail.HP & Torque have conservatively been doubled. It retains A/C, uns on premium and will impress the most stuck up guy in your crew. If you look through the photos you will see perfect undercarriage, learly visible and correct to car rear end numbers, ngine numbers, rig Pontiac build sheet etc. All adult owned, ot raced on street or strip, o track days. I'm the obsessive overprotective guy, he one you want to get a muscle car from.

I am a direct shot from the Austin airport. 45k orig. miles
