Seller's comments about 1968' Pontiac Firebird
In the engine, only the block comes from the era, the rest of the parts are new and rather not the cheapest. Of course, this is not the highest shelf, but the engine does not have more than 500 horses, so all parts are selected exaggeratedly for its relatively low power. There is no problem with the temperature, which is the bane of powerful American engines, you can drive it all day in summer without fear that it will overheat. The engine also has an oil cooler, which is useful when driving on the track.
You probably want to know how much he smokes? On the 19-22 route, when driving in 5th gear, around the city 28-35, but it can also do more, i.e. driving in Uber, even fuel will not pay you back.
The engine spins up to 6500 revolutions while making a jet sound. Driving through the tunnel on a test drive.
In principle, the car is trouble-free, once in a while something unscrews and rattles or something leaks somewhere, most often it is enough to tighten the screw and it's done, you can go on a trip around the world if someone can withstand the bang.
The car is prepared to drive on the track, not necessarily in 24-hour races, but it can easily withstand short sessions.
The car has a welded safety cage with a bolted rear diagonal, after unscrewing you can ride in the back seat, 4-point Schroth belts with an electric winder, so they work like inertial Sparco front seats.
The body is completely renovated and painted, I have all the documentation of the renovation process.
The paint has a few chips here and there, but that's because the car is in use and often in the workshop where it is constantly being modified.
