Now this has to be one of the most stimulating Firebirds we’ve ever seen. Spotted by VW Vortex forum member “Nourdmrolnmt”, this first generation Pontiac Firebird (if we’re not mistaken, it’s a 1968 model) looks fairly stock on the outside. Take a look inside though and get ready for a surprise; the owner of this first-gen Firebird has fully rebuilt the interior using a 2004 Pontiac GTO dashboard, switchgear and bucket seats!
Understandably, this wasn’t an easy task as many components had to be custom built. For example the leather on the dashboard are hand stitched while the seat belts on the front bucket seats had to be moved from the door to inside the seat due to lack of a B pillar in the Firebird. -Continued: Click “Read More…” below
Behind that menacing face of the Firebird, the car’s owner threw in a tuned LS7 V8 engine delivering about 650Hp combine with a T56 6speed manual gearbox from a Dodge Viper. Other notable “accessories” include the all-round disk brakes. According to “Nourdmrolnmt”, the owner informed him that he had spent more than $100.000 in the Firebird!
