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

awesome.
very cool plans also

These are nothing to look at yet but here is my 68. It's rusty but that's what I wanted because I'll be doing some body mods. It was a sprint 6, 4 speed car but the last guy put a 400 in it. The guy said he could get me the original engine but I never heard back from him. It was green with tan interior so it would be kinda cool to restore it with the original engine.



My 69. No idea what it was originally but it had a 283 when I bought it so I sold that. It has a solid body. I'm going to put some kind of LS engine with a t56

That pic of your 68 brought back some long ago memories. My first Firebird just after I pulled it from the junkyard. It too is an original Sprint and I put in a 4-speed Muncie.

Good luck with that one, I am so glad it is you and not me going to do the restoration at this point in my life, lol.

Agreed - definitely get that engine if you can!

I'm in Afghanistan now and he's a couple hrs from my house but I want to try to get a hold of him again when I get home and see if he can get it. My 67 was a single barrel OHC6 so I am kinda fond of them so it would be cool to have a numbers matching sprint 6.

Here is my 69 Firebird Sprint convertible, back when I bought it in 2010. It is a nice rust free two owner car out of San Diego.

Interesting options; console, 8 track, woodwheel, tinted glass all around, am radio, decor group, wood shift knob, mats, compact spare and glove box lamp (the last two become optional late in the model run). But manual steering and brakes.

I have since had it painted and upgraded the 3peed manual to a correct saginaw 4speed. I also found an NOS set of the custom hubcaps (the car came with the cheaper looking deluxe units as in these pics)

Next step is to redo the interior as needed. not sure about adding power steering yet; its a bear to turn at low speed but feels much better at speed than a power steering car.

I have a one owner 69FBSprint Conv. I would love to see the PHS build sheets on yours.

I have a pic of the PHS on my iPad but I can't seem to figure out how to upload it. I know how to do it from my computer but not on this iPad, anyone out there who can help me?

The car has a neat history, I spoke to the original owner; he lived in upstate new York and was going to Univerisity in San Diego in the summer of 69. His grand dad offered to buy him a new car but he said no V8's (too dangerous!) so he found the highest HP six out there, a sprint 6

He left for California literally from the Pontiac garage the day he took delivery. When he graduated in the early 70's he sold the car in san diego to the guy who owned it till 2010.

Here it is, just figuring out how to upload it was a challenge for me, how to get it right side up was beyond my patience-abilities!!

Nice ride.

I offer one bit of unsolicited advice concerning your rear axle, be sure to box the perches or you could repeat my little fiasco...

The result of a healthy 455, a manual trans and slicks. Busted the driveshft, the Tremec TKO transmission and ripped through the body.




The car only had 43,000 original miles on it when this happened.



Not going to happen to me again.


I like your blower...mine is in progress.

Thanks for the input...but I went with Caltrac heavy duty perches fully boxed and welded. Already ran into that problem years ago with my mud trucks so yeah lesson learned and very good advice.
Might I add your car looks pretty nice with the huffer on it. Im still unsure if Im going to use it or sell it...seems like a lot of cash to get them on a pontiac motor
Here is a pic of the perches...
