What do you think of it?

[79bluebird]

could you post some pics of the 69 ta with the radio delete.

[camerjeff]

I thought I would post a couple of pic's of my 69 Sprint as it came out of a decade long hybernation!!! It is off to my buddies shop to finally adress the pully misalignment caused when installing the 301CI OHC-6. My Astre finally came home from the paint shop, and I needed the parking space for reassembly. So I guess that finally kicked my but into gear to do something with it>

Some updated pics since I have replaced my Cammer, not original to this car btw, to a 400/461. I also updated the front suspension with Eibach springs, KYB shocks all around and a new 400 hood. I am keeping the Sprint emblems on the rocker panels as a tribute to the original Cammer I had, Phoenix who met an untimely demise at Texas World Speedway in 1994. I am thinking of leaving off the hood emblems to let people guess what is under the hood.

Nice build, Dennis.
I often wondered how bad ass my '67 bird would've been if I had dropped a 455 inside.

Welcome to the club.

Thanks for the welcome

Here's my 68 Firebird. It has a 68 400 YS motor with #16 heads, and an 068 cam. The trans is a Muncie M-20 running back to a 10 bolt rear with 3:55 gears and an Eaton posi.

It's an original Verdoro green car with a white gut and a white vinyl top.

[teeraven]

I don't think I've ever posted a pic of my car on here.
It currently has a 455/t400, stock axle and suspension, Fikse Profile 5s wheels. I recently installed a Ron Davis radiator, March style track, and Vintage air. I have DFI and a t56 I'm going to install.

Future plans:
Fix body and repaint white
build a 3 link rear suspension with 9 inch, mini tub
build a front sub with C5 parts I have already
Replace the 455 with an E head 461 (unless I decide I can afford an all aluminum 505 lol)
Baer 14 in brakes all around
Corbeau LG1 seats



Engine bay, nothing too fancy yet



Installed gauges and a steering wheel when I did the AC

[medhat68]

Wow, some beautiful First Gens on this site and lots of great pontiac information.
here are a few shots of my 68 coupe for this thread.
462, 4-speed Muncie, 4-wheel power discs, Power steering, 3.08 posi, looks stock from the outside and in the interior, but more to it than meets the eye.
Here is a link to my Site if anyone is interested in more information on my restoration which I did 99% myself in my garage over the last 5 years.
