This isn't your average first-gen Firebird. Someone took the classic coupe, stuffed in a bigger 400ci V8, and went wild with modern upgrades. The result? A metallic green head-turner with white vinyl seats, a four-speed stick, Wilwood brakes, QA1 suspension, and 15-inch Billet Specialties wheels.

That sits well below the $41,365 Classic.com average, although the comparison is not a direct one because this car is a heavily modified build with unknown total mileage. The auction's final price will provide a more useful market reference for this specific combination of 400ci V8, four-speed transmission, and custom upgrades.Condition and DetailsThe Firebird got a full makeover back in 2009, emerging in a shade of green borrowed from the Dodge Viper's Snakeskin palette. There's a hood tach, fake fender vents, a decklid spoiler, dual exhausts, and enough chrome to catch the sun from a mile away. It rolls on 15-inch Billet Specialties wheels wrapped in Cooper Cobra Radials, with Wilwood brakes and QA1 suspension bits making sure it handles better than anything from 1969 had a right to.Bring a TrailerInside, the Firebird has white vinyl bucket seats and a matching rear bench, along with a center console, Hurst shifter, woodgrain trim, Pontiac-logo floor mats, and a fire extinguisher. A wood-rimmed steering wheel sits ahead of a custom dashboard fitted with AutoMeter Phantom II gauges, including a 160-mph speedometer and tachometer. The digital odometer shows 7,000 miles, but the listing states that the total mileage is unknown.Bring a TrailerUnder the hood, you're greeted by a 400ci V8 loaded with Edelbrock heads, a Holley 770 carb, polished intake, MSD ignition, and an aluminum radiator with twin electric fans. Power runs through a Borg Warner Super T-10 four-speed to a 10-bolt rear with a 3.55 Posi. Long-tube headers, an X-pipe, MagnaFlow mufflers, and beefed-up subframe connectors round out the go-fast hardware.Bring a TrailerThe OfferSpecificationDetailMakePontiacModelFirebird Coupe (1st Generation)Year1969Mileage7,000 miles shown, TMUEngine400ci V8Cylinder headsEdelbrock aluminumCarburetorHolley 770-cfm four-barrelPowerNot specifiedTransmissionFour-speed manualDrive typeRear-wheel drive with PosiTraction differentialExterior colorBright metallic greenInterior colorWhite vinylWheels15-inch Billet Specialties alloyBrakesWilwood four-wheel discSuspensionQA1 adjustable coilovers and rear shocksLocationChantilly, VirginiaInterested in this Pontiac Firebird?

Instead of staying stock, it mixes the classic body with a 400ci V8, four-speed manual, beefier brakes, modern suspension, aftermarket wheels, and a custom interior. It's a muscle car with its own attitude.Bring a TrailerMechanically, this Firebird is a far cry from stock. Edelbrock heads, Holley carb, long-tube headers, MSD ignition, and a free-breathing exhaust turn the 400ci V8 into a proper street brawler, while the Posi rear and four-speed keep it true to its muscle-car DNA. And let's be honest, the green paint and white interior make sure nobody mistakes it for your neighbor's Sunday cruiser.Final ThoughtsThis Firebird isn't about originality – it's about attitude. Forget preservation points; this is a custom first-gen Pontiac through and through. The odometer's 7,000-mile claim sounds tempting, but with unknown total mileage, it's best to focus on the 2009 rebuild and all the mechanical upgrades that make this car what it is.With bidding at just $10,000, this Firebird is a bargain compared to the $41,365 Classic.com average, though that number covers everything from bone-stock survivors to wild customs. If you're after a '69 Firebird with a 400ci V8, four-speed, and a laundry list of upgrades, this auction is your chance to see what the market thinks of a build like this.Disclaimer: This post is for informational purposes only.
