Do you have the PHS and a picture of the data tag?

It is not on the road or inspected Stevez. Not sure how long it's been. It's been a while though. The previous owner had it in storage for over 10 years at least. He got sick and then sold his entire collection.

car doesnt look like a 400 car.
True its got a 400 hood,but guessing its not a #s match 400.
Odd tho that its a Q-Q code repainted to black.....
I sold my true 400 WZ hdtp a few years ago,was Q-Q,repainted to black
but was no wheres near as rough as this so it couldnt be same car.

I agree this is likely not a true 400 car.
No 400 emblems on hood scoops or decklid and does not have 400 Grills with chrome bar either. Firebird 400 cars also had pontiac crest on leading edge of chrome bumper .All point to this car as a non 400 car

The car is painted blue and I never indicated that it was a true 400 car. PHS would have to determine that.

No 400 emblems on hood? Are you two related to Mr. Magoo? LOL.

Ron, I don't think they had them in '68, that was '67? I'm not 100% sure.

Chris, mine is going to a very good owner. A young guy new to the hobby, who likes Firebirds much better than Camaro's I might add.
