I have been helping my buddy with his 67 firebird 400 over the last 18 months. It is a factory 400 4 speed car. We've done ALOT to the car and now it is just about finished. I took it out cruising with my wife and we stopped at the lake for a photo opportunity:

Last winter we rebuilt the original numbers matching engine with a big stroker kit from Butler, ported 670 heads and a roller cam. Its now got a 4.25" stroke eagle crank... .030 over so about 460 cubes. We estimate about 475hp and over 500 ft-lbs of torque. Its got custom dished pistons so its quite happy on 93 octane and roasts the rear tires at will. Really fun to drive!

My Autumn Bronze 68 a friend let me borrow his Vintage wheel works V45's to see how they look on the car. I still have a set of NOS rocker trim to add as well as the headrest and front door panels.

Thats a nice and rare color. Think that was a special order? Mine should have the same paint but is now black.
