Vehicle Details

The owner of this 1968 Firebird 400 Convertible has owned the car since 1976 when it wore sidepipes, mags, and wide rear tires. He was driving this car in Denver when he met his wife. They took the car off the road in 1986 and then pulled it out of storage 20 years later.

The car arrived here the summer of 2006 and although complete, was tired and well used. We performed an 1800 hour restoration over 14 months. The original 400 engine was overhauled for improved performance, retaining the stock cylinder heads. Doug’s Headers were installed along with a Tremec 5-speed. Hotchkiss Suspension and rear disc brakes were added along with wheels from Wheel Vintiques. The body was refinished in DuPont base/clear and the interior was restored as original.

This is truly a sentimental car.

If you are considering one of the classic or collectible cars on our website, be assured that coming for a personal visit to inspect first-hand the car that has captured your fancy is very welcome. We practice transparency in all of our descriptions, but believe that nothing is as convincing as seeing and touching the car yourself. Plan a few hours, so you can see, touch, feel and drive the car, and enjoy a tour of our restoration shops to see ‘where the magic happens.’ If your schedule is too committed, we also welcome a knowledgeable agent visiting for you. Please understand that sales are final, so the time for all due diligence is before you buy. Our cars are sold AS-IS, since most are on consignment from owners. We follow FTC guidelines for all sales and certainly want our future clients leaving more glowing reports among our reviews!
