Allow us to introduce you to “Duece,” a captivating black 1968 Pontiac Firebird that will surely leave a lasting impression. This Firebird’s story began back in 1985 when a student at The University of Alabama embarked on a project and a dream. According to a write-up in the March 2013 edition of High Performance Pontiac magazine, the original builder started with a salvaged vehicle and dedicated the following decades to crafting the masterpiece you see today.
The current owner shares that the heart of “Duece” is a .60 over 1972 400 CID “YS” block, meticulously fitted with a machined 455 crank and a set of Pontiac 7K3 heads. Topped off with an Edelbrock Torker aluminum intake and a brand new Edelbrock 750cfm 4bbl carb, this Firebird is fueled with pure power. Transmitting that power to the pavement is a 4-speed Muncie M-22 Rock Crusher transmission, working harmoniously with the Pontiac limited-slip rear end and 3.23 gearing. This is the epitome of Pontiac performance, a true testament to the brand’s legacy.
Handling is enhanced by a newer power steering box, Bilstein front shocks, and fresh bushings. Complementing the Firebird’s classic appeal are the stylish chrome American Racing Special Edition 5-star wheels, elegantly wrapped in Nitto rubber. This combination bestows a modern hot rod stance while preserving the vintage aesthetic. As for the additional features and touches, there is an impressive Bluetooth audio system among them, ensuring a seamless integration of modern technology.
These details merely scratch the surface of what “Duece” has to offer. Each element comes together to create a captivating Firebird that embodies the essence of what this classic model represents. Its timeless design and impeccable performance make it a true automotive gem.
