That shot surprised me. Did you narrow the reare end?

[rickjbell]

@twaldal No, but this video was from 4 years ago. The motor I had in the car was a Pontiac 400 and was pretty weak. I dropped a Pontiac 428 in the car in 2008 and blew it up this year in February. I am currently installing a Pontiac 455, bored .060 and it was built by FAR better than the last 2...

Update: I am posting some new driving videos of the '69 Firebird.. I have received several emails about getting some videos made, so they will be up soon. Check my Youtube Channel..

you see buddy what people look for when they buy a 69' Firebird is how original it is. It does look good don't get me wrong. But you want big money, I say turn it into a Trans Am. You can buy all the parts on Ebay. A good 69' Trans Am clone sells anywhere from $50,000-$100,000

[rickjbell]

If they want it to be original, then why would I turn it into a Trans Am clone? Actually, the only thing that would make in a Trans Am clone right now is the "Trans Am" emblems and the side louvers... I already installed a posi-trac rear-end and a spoiler.

heck yeah man! that bird sounds great! I hope my next camaro project looks and sounds that good. I hit alot of car shows and it's a damn shame I don't see very many firebirds in that great of shape anymore! supernice car, good luck selling it.

[rickjbell]

Thanks man. I have been to a few big car shows, and I have seen a couple of 2nd Generation Firebirds, but it's rare to see any '67-'69 Firebirds. I don't get it, I think they look better than the Camaro's! Not to mention, Pontiac motors were some of the best built motors in history before the engine division got shut down...

[twaldal]

I love the powder coated bumpers. Is the rear fiberglass? Don't see many coated bumpers, I have a 68 I want to do in satin black. 428 +30 1 3/4 header. I hope it sounds close to what you have. What exhaust are you running? Very nice car.

What is the compression? Do you need high octane or pump gas?
