1968 Firebird Sprint Ohc 4.1 6cy 4 Spd Ac Nm Az Car Survivor Rarer Then Camaro on 2040-cars

1968 Pontiac Firebird Sprint OHC

this is a running and driving car, a real AZ/NM survivor
still retains its original Sprint OHC 4.1 Litre Sprint straight 6
(rated back then at I think 215 hp), because of its 4v carb. 
special cam, hi flow intake manifold and dual exhaust manifolds
(thank you John DeLorean once again ) other options include
 PS, 4 spd transmission & dealer installed A/C..
read on !

aprox 1200 of these cars where made and face it most had V8 swaps
done to them, so 1 this original as a survivor is extremely rare.
My guess less then 500 left this original.

Some surface rust sure, but its hard to distinguish the old Burgandy
color from primer, from some surface rust (which easy sands off
in a few minutes..)

Although its been sitting for many yrs not being used, it came 
back to life pretty easily with some fresh gas and a battery.
It obviously still needs a total restoration, but you are starting
with an amazingly straight body front to back with all original
sheetmetal and 90% of its original paint gone down to bare metal.
Windshield was pretty beat up, so I just removed it completely
so it was easier to see. Rest of the glass is good and original.
I didnt drop the gas tank yet, but I may this week to see if the build
sheet is there.

The 14x7 Rallys shown in the car disc brake versions DONT come
with the car, but ARE AVAILABLE OPTIONAL for $500 more.
The car will come with some steel rollers with the original 
very cool 14" Pontiac Wheel covers (see pics)

DRIVETRAIN:  as mentioned earlier, its the original surviving 
4.1 L 6cyl matted to a factory 4 spd transmission, stock rearend
with interestingly enough, multi leaf rear springs. Not sure what
gears came in it stock. It really should be more tuned up.
We did a cap and rotor, but should have new wires, plugs etc.
Starts with a few pumps of the gas when its cold and idles okay
too once its warmed up a few minutes.
New owner may want to clean the gas tank out, even with the
new gas, the exhaust smells a little like old gas.

INTERIOR: The original vinyl showing its age and its obviously
sun beat and worn, but its mostly complete and would restore
with less issues. Floorboards got rust from the inside, and Ive
seen some holes, but some areas there may want to be replaced
during the resto. But the rust isnt from salt and snow and much
less rust then an eastern car this old.
In the dash it has a factory 160 Speedo and factor Hood tach too.
The underdash AC is pretty sweet and contours well the the
stock lower dash. Trunk very solid.

EXTERIOR: Original color was burgandy (most gone)
but alot of the misc trim pieces and emblems NOT shown on the
car still come with the car in the trunk (see pics)
The body very straight for its age and about as rust free as
youll find for a non restored car. 
All the trim seems to be there too. No signs of bondo
or previous damage anywhere.
Still needs full resto, but this is a great starting point
for an easier more profitable restoration or keeper !

SUSPENSION: all factory and original, nothing special but goes
down the road okay for a non restored car.
Drives down the road well for an older car.

This car is 90% rust free Arizona car

Check out ALL the pics below ----->
not sure why people would bid on a car so far away with
small pics showing no details like under the car, but with
OUR ADS, we almost take the car apart to take the pics
our customers deserve !!

it may take a full minute for them all to load if you have a
slow connection, so be patient AND looks for the extra schroll
bar on the right side.
Az gets maybe 12" a yr of rain and Az very dry climate.
keeping the metal on our cars more preserved then most states.
more info AFTER the pics etc. There are 100 large pics.
