5.7L LS1 V8

General description : This 1968 Pontiac Firebird Convertible restomod is what a cool custom classic is all about. It takes a true icon and upgrades it with a fuel-injected LS1 V8, four-wheel disc brakes, and an overdrive transmission. And then it wraps the full upgraded package in an award-worthy triple-black presentation.
A Firebird is already quite a cool classic, but this one takes it to a whole new level. The black paint has a deep luster that lets you know there was a big investment here. In fact, the full frame-off restoration was completed only about 3,400 miles ago. The iconic beak-like front end has a terrific shine; the body panels remain crisp; and there is a beautiful new back roof. So the look here is better than new. Plus, there are all the right factory sporty details, like the dual hood scoops, a chin spoiler, and rear fender vent trim. But his car goes well beyond getting the vintage pieces right. Those Coys 18-inch alloys have a 10,000-watt shine and they let you see the red caliper peeking through up front. And those headlights are not only crystal clear, but they have LED halos that you control the color with an app. So can't you just see this all-black Firebird having menacing red eyes as it's coming down the road?
With the flip of a switch, the top powers down to reveal the full black interior. So the exterior, roof, and interior come together to give you the ultra-desirable triple-black upgrade. Speaking of upgrades, the front bucket seats offer better bolstering than you could ever get in the 1960s. And plush carpeting, good door panels, and a smooth dash make for quite an inviting car. It has the right cruiser upgrades, too. You have provisions for air conditioning (has a compressor, but the system will need to be completed and charged) a Retrosound AM/FM/digital tuner w/Bluetooth, and an awesome upgraded speaker system that will have you opening the trunk wherever you park just to show off the full custom subwoofer enclosure. Plus, with a center console, floor shifter, wood-rimmed steering wheel, and a full Dakota Digital gauge package upgrade, you know this was built to be a driver's car.
The heart of this dark machine is an upgraded fuel-injected 5.7-liter LS1. You'll love popping the hood at all the car shows and watching everyone marvel at a modern V8 is such a classic machine. Beyond just advancing generations of a GM motor, this one has been upgraded further with go-fast goodies. The V8 has a Big Mouth throttle body, FAST LSXR 102mm intake, and headers feeding the H-pipe dual exhaust. You'll also sport good supporting pieces, like a Griffin aluminum radiator, dual electric fans, and the battery moved to the trunk for better weight distribution. The power package is said to make 385 horsepower, and the full setup is made to let you enjoy it to the fullest. That's why the upgraded four-speed automatic transmission has overdrive for easy cruising and a shift kit to give you firm changes during performance driving. It feeds a limited-slip rear end with 4.11 gears for confident and powerful take-offs. Plus, the suspension has been upgraded with Totally Tubular upper and lower front control arms, rear performance leaf springs, and Hotchkis subframe connectors. Control is also well-in-hand thanks to power steering, grippy Nitto ZR-rated performance tires, and four-wheel power disc brakes upgraded with drilled & slotted rotors.
Complete with owner's manual packet, when an iconic GM drop-top has been upgraded in all the best ways (especially modern GM power,) it makes for an irresistible deal. Call today!!!
