1974 PONTIAC FIREBIRD CUSTOM COUPE

This 1974 Pontiac Firebird coupe was transformed into a Pro-Touring custom through the magic of a complete nut-and-bolt rotisserie restoration. The exterior features PPG Deep Black paint beneath five coats of clear. Its clean lines were emphasized by shaving the door handles, smoothing the marker lights, removing the side window trim and blacking out the front and rear surrounds. Door and trunk poppers were installed, custom electric adjusters were integrated into the outside mirrors, and the hood and trunk hinges were replaced with polished billet-aluminum units. Beneath the red-accented cowl-induction hood is a 537ci Dart big-block engine fitted with Dart Pro 1 aluminum heads and custom ceramic-coated stainless-steel headers and exhaust, cranking 785hp through a TREMEC 6-speed manual transmission to a 9-inch Moser 3.89 rear end anchored in place by a Detroit Speed QUADRALink rear suspension with adjustable coilover shocks. Up front, more Detroit Speed refinement comes in the form of a complete front subframe with tubular A-arms, coilover shocks and power rack & pinion steering. Extra-wide, low-profile BFGoodrich G-Force Radial T/A tires on 18x9-inch front and 18x12-inch rear Billet Specialties aluminum wheels are kept under control by 4-wheel Baer disc brakes with 6-piston calipers clamping on drilled and slotted rotors. New AutoMeter carbon-fiber gauges, a Shutt billet aluminum steering wheel and Cerullo front bucket seats headline the custom interior, which also incorporates black Ultraleather upholstery, a custom console and custom door panels with red velour inserts. A Kenwood stereo system, billet pedals and Vintage Air are also featured, and a full roll cage ties the front and rear together. 487 miles restoration completion.

Underwent a complete nut-and-bolt rotisserie restoration. Powered by a 537/785hp big-block engine mated to a TREMEC 6-speed manual transmission and a 9-inch rear end.
