There’s no doubt that the side-pipes would help the 350 to breathe better, so maybe some other work that we can’t see has also been performed. While the Firebird would only have had 155hp from the engine when new, you have to wonder whether there might be a few more ponies present today. The presentation of the engine bay really isn’t bad for a car of this age that has just come out of storage. The owner states that the Firebird runs, drives, and stops, but given the fact that it has just come out of long-term storage, I would be very inclined to have the car thoroughly checked before I undertook any significant journeys. Both of these components are original to the vehicle, while it also features power steering and power brakes.

Powering the Firebird is a 350ci V8, backed by a 4-speed manual transmission. Whether they stay or go would once again be a matter of personal preference. They do add something to the aura of the car. The wheel isn’t original, and nor is the tach or the radio/cassette player. However, these are readily available and usually run out at around $700. The dash pad has deteriorated quite markedly, and a replacement will need to be found.

The carpet is faded, but it isn’t full of rips or tears. There are some seam separations showing in the driver’s seat, and a new cover will definitely be needed at some point. The rear seat and trim in that area look to be quite good, while the same would appear to be true of the door trims, the console, and the front passenger seat. The interior of the Firebird is serviceable, but it isn’t by any means perfect. Of course, when you team those wheels with the side-pipes, that makes the car scream “attitude!” Whether those pipes remain or not would be a matter of personal preference, because some people find getting in and out of a car without burning their leg on side-pipes to be quite difficult. Unfortunately, the left rear wheel appears to have some significant corrosion and bubbling in the chrome, so this will need some attention at some point. The wheels most definitely aren’t original, but they certainly look tough. The glass all looks quite good, while the vast majority of the external trim and chrome appear to be pretty decent. Don’t get me wrong, because a fresh coat of paint would make the car really sparkle, but it isn’t something that is an immediate priority. The owner supplies photos of the vehicle’s underside, and apart from what would seem to be the obligatory light coating of surface corrosion, the floors look to be rock solid. There is some present in the lower front fender on the driver’s side, along with some around the outer lips of both rear wheel arches, and a small amount around the rear window. The panels look to be quite straight, and its rust issues appear to be quite minimal. The Firebird isn’t perfect, but it does remain presentable in its original Copper Mist paint. Bidding has made its way to $5,700 in what is a No Reserve auction. It is located in Jackson, New Jersey, and has been listed for sale here on eBay.

It has only recently come out of long-term storage and is looking for a new home. I think that it is safe to say that this 1975 Pontiac Firebird probably fits into the latter category, and in spite of my passion for original classics, I just can’t help but like this car. Some classics are more designed to scare small children and old ladies and are guaranteed to leave you with an enormous smile plastered across your face. They are special cars that attract this attention for all of the right reasons.

Some classic cars are beautifully preserved or restored originals that are guaranteed to attract plenty of attention and admiration wherever they go.
