1968 Pontiac Firebird

Wallpaper Description:

As part of a divorce, this Firebird found its way onto the pages of an AutoTrader magazine when Steve Bourdon spotted it. He met the seller, talked him down on price, and brought it home. Most of the components were factory, which made it reliable, but nothing special. Over the seven years Steve owned it, he added an MSD 6AL and Pro-Billet distributor, aluminum radiator, better wheels and tires, a new gas tank, and a clutch for his factory Muncie four-speed. With only 89,000 miles on the clock, Steve says this thing drives like a new car and has never left him stranded. After some research, Steve found that the 'Bird came from the factory with a gold-on-gold color scheme, then it was painted green. Both color combos were ones he didn't predict would be coming back anytime soon. He was quite happy with the red metallic sprayed by a previous owner. Steve's 14-year-old son is eager to help him upgrade the suspension with tubular control arms, CPP steering box, and big brakes. They are also tossing around the idea of hopping up the engine with a set of Edelbrock aluminum heads and a beefy cam.
