Awesome car. I have a 67 with a done up 350. Not a 400 but it does the job. And I completely understand what you mean when you say you'll have it forever, so will I. Hands down one of the nicest muscle era cars ever made. Camaros are like assholes... Everybody has one. You don't see a lot of first gen Firebirds let alone 400's. Wish we could see some video of the finished car.
Nice car. I have a 68 Firebird 400 with 124k original miles in about the same condition except mine has the 3 speed automatic tranny... wish it was the 4 speed manual like u have.
I was restoring one of these a long time ago. I took it for a drive with no brakes thinking I could through it in reverse with my powerglide to slow it down. The trans was shot anyway and it did and would have worked except that the engine stalled and when I got it cranked I slammed the gas and through it in reverse going down a hill in a neighborhood and it smoked the tires and slid off into a yard and I almost ran over a kid. It came to rest on a gutter drainage culvert and got stuck on it.
thats fucking sick man. I seem to see a lot more camaros from that era than firebirds. I don't know if there were more camaros made? or maybe more people just restore the camaros? eitherway thats a cool car.
a firebird could beat a porsche anyday nicer than the 68 camaro i got that was sitting since 82 long story short it pulled a titanic snap in half when i had the bright idea to use the winch to pull it on the tralior atleast it gave life to 3 other camaros that were being restored by other people
This is a '68 firebird ('67s have a wing at the front of the window and they don't have the pontiac emblem on the back quarter panel), car still sound good

question, are those hood scoops functional? Meaning do they let air get into the engine, or are they just mounted there for decoration
