- 1967 Firebird 400
-
- HISTORY:
- I bought the car from a used car lot. I saw it one evening, and it
- had not been there the previous day. The salesman told me that it had
- been owned by a "little old man & little old lady". Sure, I thought but
- the car was in pretty good shape, so I bought it. It was only later
- that I kept running into things that make me believe that this was
- actually the case.
- When I drove it home, it had Sears&Roebuck 78 series whitewall tires on
- it. It had a "B.P.O.E." sticker on the rear view mirror. It had never had
- an aftermarket radio installed in it. The secondaries on the carb were so
- clogged with old gas and "varnish" that no fuel would flow through them.
- The arm rests on both doors are heavily worn, and there is a place behind
- each door where the paint is worn off from being used as a hand rail.
- As it sits, it has 89,000 original miles.
-
- WHAT I'VE PUT INTO IT: MILEAGE SINCE:
- Radiator, heater core, water pump, all cooling hoses. ~ 8,000 mi.
- Master and slave cylendars. ~ 8,000 mi.
- Valve job with copper guides. ~ 8,000 mi.
- All bushings in front end and 4 gas charged shocks. ~ 7,000 mi.
- Rebuilt motor.
- *Professionally done short block, with balancing
- and a mild "off road" cam.
- *High volume oil pump.
- *Rebuilt and shimmed distributer.
- *Light weight "flex" fan. ~ 3,000 mi.
- Full comp shift kit. ~ 3,000 mi.
- Full transmission service, belts tightened, filter replaced,
- seals replaced. ~ 2,000 mi.
- Carter AFB Performer carb. ~ 1,000 mi.
- Edlebrock manifold ~ 500 mi.
- Rebuilt rear end, putting positrac 2:92 (stock ratio) gears
- new seals, bearings, new right axle. (professionally done) ~ 500 mi.
- 1" sway bars front and rear. ~ 500 mi.
-
- "EXTRA PARTS" not installed:
- Original manifold, steering wheel, wire hubcaps.
-
- From Herb Adams:
- 4 brand new nitrogen filled shocks.
- Stainless steel front end bushings.
- Note:
- Herb Adams built the original Firebird Trans Am race car that dominated
- the Trans Am racing series from 1967 to 1970. This car was a 1967
- Firebird. Herb claims that he can make this 1967 Firebird pull .89 Gs
- on the skid pad. Set up the way the car is right now, with new tires,
- he estimates .78-.8 Gs.
-
- The current registration will expire in January.
