Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The photos in this edition are black and white. The Trans Am and Firebird were distinctly different than their cousin, the Chevy Camaro, and many Trans Am and Firebird models became stand-out muscle cars of their era. In fact, when the high-performance wars in Detroit subsided in the early 1970s, the Trans Am remained as the sole surviving muscle car. Some second-generation Pontiac F-Body cars are affordable while others are extremely rare and valuable. In particular, the 1970-1974 Pontiac Super Duty Trans Ams, 1970-1973 Firebird Formulas, and 1976 Firebird Limited Editions command high sale prices while the 1970s Trans Am 6.6 "Smokey and the Bandit" cars are still affordable and appreciating in value. Melvin Benzaquen of Classic Restoration Enterprises has restored dozens of these cars. In this revealing guide, all crucial aspects of restoration are covered, including engine, driveline, interior, trim, electrical system, brakes, steering, and suspension. A special focus is placed on performing common body restoration procedures. Chapters also include VIN decoding, planning, preparation, tools, and painting techniques. Step-by-step photos accompanied by in-depth and detailed captions explain how to perform each stage of the restoration process. Pontiac Firebird and Trans Am owners are loyal and dedicated to the preservation of these storied high-performance models and therefore demand an accurate and faithful restoration. The magnitude and variety of work in the restoration process can be overwhelming and that's why a complete restoration guide by an acknowledged expert is so important. Now, in this authoritative and comprehensive guide, you have the tools you need to get started on your Trans Am or Firebird restoration.

Download or read book How to Restore Your Pontiac Firebird 1967 1969 written by Jason Scott and published by . This book was released on 2021-03-15 with total page 176 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Learn how to repair and restore every facet of Pontiac's fabulous first-generation Firebirds with this hands-on restoration guide. The Firebird was Pontiac's entry into the 2+2 pony car market that was pioneered by Ford's Mustang in 1964. Because of its rapid development cycle, the Firebird was based on the same platform as Chevrolet's Camaro but was intended to have a slightly upscale market position to compete against Mercury's Mustang clone, the Cougar. While the Firebird and Camaro share many components, the Firebird debuted in February 1968 (five months after the Camaro), and Pontiac's stylists and engineers made good use of the extra time, instilling the Firebird with numerous upgrades and improvements compared to its Chevy sibling, including five Pontiac engine options, specific suspension tuning, and of course Firebird's unique front and rear treatments and interior accoutrements. How to Restore Your Pontiac Firebird: 1967-1969guides you through the process of selecting and inspecting a Firebird, takes you step by step through the restoration of each major aspect of the car (body and paint, interior, engine, transmission, rear axle assembly, suspension, brakes, electrical, and more), including the elements that make the Firebird unique compared to the Camaro. Jason Scott, a seasoned author and former editor of Muscle Car Review and Pontiac enthusiast magazines, shows you detailed do-it-yourself processes and techniques to remove, restore, and reinstall original components, as well as how to make stock-appearing or stealthy upgrades that improve performance, handling, reliability, and convenience. If you're rebuilding a 1967-1969 Firebird, this is your go-to guide for everything from planning your restoration to a constant companion in the garage that explains the nuts of bolts of taking your Firebird apart and putting it back together better than ever.

Download or read book The Definitive Firebird and Trans Am Guide written by Rocky Rotella and published by Cartech, Incorporated. This book was released on 2018 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Take an in-depth look into the second-generation Firebird and Trans Am with the ultimate guidebook that includes production figures, option codes, running changes, model-year changes and variances, rarity, collectability, interviews with engineers, and more. Pontiac expert and historian Rocky Rotella examines each production year of the second generation of Firebirds. Complementing the data and year-by-year analysis is a combination of archival photography from the development of these cars as well as beautiful color photos of original and restored examples today. After the extremely successful debut of the first-generation Firebirds and Camaros, General Motors had a tall task ahead: create an equally popular yet radically different version of the groundbreaking pony car it was replacing. Enthusiasts picked up on the radically different part as soon as they saw these cars. Over time, we have come to appreciate how successful these second-generation cars were. They include the early models that had an emphasis on performance along with the continued development of the Trans Am, the 455 Super Duty cars of 1973 and 1974, and the lightning-in-a-bottle popularity of the Smokey and the Bandit editions. During their production run, these Firebirds and Trans Ams were truly the only real performance cars out of Detroit, and for many of the model years, they eclipsed even the mighty Corvette. This book tells the entire story of these immensely popular cars, whether you are into the second generation of F-Body regular models, Formula 400 performance models, the Super Duty Trans Ams, or the cars of Smokey and the Bandit fame. It is an excellent addition to any pony car, muscle car, or any enthusiast's library.
