Description

Released under the legendary John Z. DeLorean’s watch, the Pontiac Firebird was the marque’s entry into the emerging pony car war between the Ford and Chevrolet.

This 1968 example has been comprehensively refurbished into a high-end restomod that blends classic American muscle with show-quality execution. Originally sold new through Paddock Pontiac in Dayton, Ohio, the included retail order paperwork supports its early history, which is tied to long-term ownership in Ohio.

Finished in a metallic light green, the car sits on polished Weld wheels, and the engine bay and undercarriage reflect a high attention to detail. Power comes from a built 406ci V8 reportedly producing over 500 horsepower, paired with a 4-speed manual transmission.

Beneath the car, a Chris Alston chassis, and rack-and-pinion steering system, and Wilwood brakes have been fitted.

This 1968 Pontiac Firebird is now offered in Michigan by the seller on behalf of the current owner with original dealership documentation, build notes, a display placard, and a clean Ohio title. A 1999 Continental Cargo enclosed trailer carrying Ohio registration in the seller's name also accompanies the sale.
