JC Whitney side pipes, European wheels (That I guarantee you are 5x120mm, not 5x4.75), and a SBC.

Yeah other than that, I guess its a normal 78 Firebird.

About Us

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
