Lots of nice Camaro and Firebird Pro-Tour builds are built on cars that weren't even V8 cars or have any real collectibility to them. This is a very rare true 1967 400 Firebird. It began as a rust free North Carolina car and a complete frame off restoration was completed recently.  The original engine from the original carb. distributor to the oil pan was preserved in good condition and set on a roll around stand and goes with the car. The original rearend also comes with the car. The original transmission is still in the car. Many of the hard to find original parts are included so the car could be returned to original very easily. Everything about this build is top shelf. The paint finish is as close to perfect as I think you'll find anywhere. You can compare it to highest quality builds available today. The build has been ongoing and many of the finer parts and paint have been added recently. The car shows as and is a fresh build. I have about 3k mostly show miles on the car.

 

Engine: Nunzi built stroked Pontiac 467 with ported high flow 87cc E-heads(93 octane). Tomahawk Intake. Nunzi 2042 cam(like Ram Air IV). Crower rods. Super Duty pistons. MSD billet distributor. MSD wires. NGK Iridium plugs. MSD 6al. Holley Annular 850 red billet discharge with electric choke. balanced assembly. blueprinted nitrite crank. stainless valves. high volume oil pump. SFI Balancer. road race oil pan. New ram Air setup. Griffin radiator. Engine should have no problem with 550-575HP engine dyno. If you have known Pontiacs for years you know Nunzi was considered the first and most respected Pontiac builder and tuner. In his day he was all over all the Pontiac and Hot Rod magazines with performance builds and restorations. He no longer is in business and has retired which makes this high quality build even more desirable. Engine runs cool. is tuned to perfection and starts easily hot or cold. With the below exhaust probably sounds as heavenly as any muscle car you've heard.

 

Engine tuning: So many carbed muscle cars run too rich or too lean. Even if they are tuned for WOT on a Dyno they still have issues at lower RPMs.   Innovate MTX-L A/F gauge was purchased and mounted next to the shift light and gauges. Considerable time was spent with the 600. 00 Annular and billet parts Holley and tuned it for idle. off idle crispness. part throttle pre PV and part throttle post PV. cruise and WOT. It would take a fuel injection system to match the tune of this car. You need to really know Holley's and be able to drill and swap parts and be pretty good with math to measure volume to come up with the right parts. It idles at 13 to 1 and stays there or near it in all stages except cruise which is near 14 to 1 and WOT where its tuned for 12. 5 to 1. All the work is done and I dont  think it loses anything to a modern LS motor in drivability and certanly not performance. The timing is perfect. A great deal of time was spent getting a cool idle. quick and easy starts and optimum performance with no knock. The billet MSD is a vacuum advance system for excellent drivability. gas mileage and performance. Add the NGK iridiums. MSD6AL and all new parts and it couldnt be better. Most people run from vacuum because they have too much compression or a poor tune. This one suffers from neither.

 

Exhaust: Hooker Super Comp headers jet coated. Ram Air Restorations 3. 5” oval to 3” round over axle custom fit aluminized and painted exhaust. SpinTech mufflers. One of the finest setups you can buy.

 

Transmission: Original/factory TH400 built heavy duty with billet parts. Beautiful and rare NOS Hurst dual gate floor mount shifter(not cheap). Continental 3k stall 10” bulletproof converter. aluminum heavy duty custom drive shaft. GM 12 Bolt differential with 3. 73 gears completely rebuilt and fresh with TA axle cover. The driveline is virtually bullet proof and can stand up to most anything.

 

Brakes: Willwood 1” Master cylinder. Wilwood 13” red powder coat 6 piston fronts. Wilwood 12” red powder coat 4 piston rears. Tuff stuff Booster.  stainless brake lines. New Lokar stainless emergency brake cables and parts.  This setup is as fine as you'll find.

 

Fuel system:  RobbMC sending unit 1/2” feed. HP150 quiet electric fuel pump.  10 AN feed line. High flow 100 micron prefilter.  High flow 40 micron fuel filter. 8 AN Carb log. Aeromotive 13301 regulator. 6 AN return. 1000HP capable.  It may be a little over doing it but it looks and operated effortlessly.  

 

Wheels: New Front CCW anodized center and polished lip 18x8 LM20 3 piece wheels with Nitto 245/40/18 NT-05s. Rears CCW anodized center and polished lip 18x10. 5 LM20 3 piece wheels with Nitto 285/40/18 NT-05DRs. CCW wheels are as light as any and as strong as any on the market. They fit perfectly and look as good as you'll find. The tires are top shelf and are outstanding for either straight line and/or lateral acceleration.

 

Suspension: Front Global West 600lb springs. Rear Global West CAT5 sperical bearing springs. nbsp;bilstein HD shocks. Global west tubular upper control arms.  Helwig front and rear pro-tour sway bars.  Close ratio GM steering box. Protour alignment. The rear spring kit alone is 900. 00.  GW rear springs arent cheap but their spherical bearing springs are comparable in performance to some of the best rear coil setups.  The rear leafs are also considered as good as factory leafs with traction bars. The overal performance of this setup is the best youll find on leafs. The stance is as good as it gets without cutting and tubbing the car.

 

Exterior: All chrome. emblems and stainless is new or original and like new. All the glass looks outstanding. All the rubber and weather strip is fresh. Since it was a no rust car there is no filler and the body is as straight as an arrow. The paint is completely fresh and is the original Champagne color in a PPG base coat and clear coat hand rubbed finish. There is no orange peal on this car anywhere. All the body lines and gaps are outstanding. Paint is show worthy.

 

Interior: New reproduction black interior. carpet headliner. etc. rare factory custom door panels. fold down rear seat. and power windows. Tilt wheel with near mint 69 Trans AM Formula wheel and reproduction horn button.  Included in the sale is a very nice reproduction factory wheel. The interior is as nice as you could hope for on all counts. Has full gauges mounted in the center. tach. oil pressure. water. shift light and O2 sensor.  It does have a nice Pioneer high powered radio with 2 speakers in the back in the stock location.  



Performance: We can say that this car could stand up to most any vintage or modern muscle car being produced period. 0-60 its near untouchable with the current setup. The power is immediate and brutal. Handling and braking is as outstanding as its straight line.  It shifts perfectly and firmly throughout  the entire RPM range. There are absolutely no disappointments in the performance and handling of this fine example of a Pro-Tour Firebird.

 

In Summary you have a  top shelf Pro-Touring Classic Firebird with extreme power yet designed to be street driven.  This the 1st GEN Firebird with  matching numbers frame off resto Firebird 400. There are 2 engines and 2 rearends and many of the other original parts included.  Everything is the best of the best in the best condition available.  A considerable amount of time and labor was spent not only in the build of the car but the thought process as well. The original lines and timeless classic  style of the First Generation Firebird remain in full glory and retaines its pure Pontiac soul.
