- Hello & Welcome To fordmustang98guy & Today I Have A Very Special Treat This Afternoon I present you all a full in depth review on my buddy's Custom 1968 Pontiac Firebird. I take viewers on a close look through the interior and exterior of the car while showing details, over viewing of features, and noting unique styling cues to the vehicle itself. I also show the engine and the details of it, start it up and see how it revvs under acceleration. A thorough tour/review of this car designed to give others a greater overall appreciation of the vehicle.
The "dark grey exterior" is actually called "night shade green". I own one in the same color. It was a custom ordered color and was one of the few metallic colors available. Although I have seen the original dealer paint color samples and I am pretty sure a lot of people that ordered the car in night shade green were shocked when the car arrived because the paint color sample and the real thing look nothing a like. It's a fairly rare color but I love it.
"It has the 400 big block" LOL Pontiac never categorized their engines as big or small block.
LMAO i Said the Same thing when i heard him say that.. hahahaha
It's the ultimate red flag alert that the person knows nothing about Pontiacs....
They are medium block. Bigger than a small block chevy, but smaller than a big block chevy. 400 Pontiac motor put out a lot of torque because the unique head design.
IMO, 1968 saw the Firebirds most beautiful incarnation. May the phoenix rise again!
nothing sounds better than a v8, pure power 👌
My dream car
Nice car, if you want to reduce over heating problems there's 2 air dam plates missing from in front of radiator support to top of front bumper support. 400s came with them , 326 and 350s didn't require them.
You maybe speaking of the 2 baffles that came on 1969 400 cars or other AC Firebirds
First clue was he felt he needed to explain what the 2 different keys did. THEN he said 400 BIG BLOCK!? What the hell is a Pontiac big block?
Beautiful car, I own a 68 Firebird with original 400 engine and transmission , love these cars.
that bird sings the best song in the world
my dream car
I have the same car. It's a project car and isnt nearly close to done, but with an engine replacement, and some bodywork, it'll be done. Very nice sound, and great video!
Hows the project going?
Me 2i have in the Philippines
A friend has a 1967 Firebird 400 Convertible, restored to original condition. Sweet cars (:
My gpa left me a 68 when he died, it needs restored but has always been garage kept. I want to start working on it soon.
I have 2. A 350 convertible and a 400 Ram Air both 1968.
If only modern cars sounded this cool.....stupid emissions regulations and modern fuel saving crap have cut the balls off modern cars.
+Gordaton still restricted for emissions, now you have to cram air into an engine to make it have hp, not like the old days with huge cams, intake and exhaust ports. Plus the hellcat is a fucking rip off 700hp for what? 80k? Lol I could build a 496 bb Chev with 800hp naturally asp. For around maybe 13k with brodix aluminum heads, not counting the fact that I could super charge it and have way more
I agree. However these engines were too powerful to have in the hands of your average pleb. This is why these BS laws were invented so we now have to drive around in hideous looking 1 litre wedges.
Lol this thing sounds like a rattle can when it starts up
does this video come with a motion sickness bag
Big block? To open the glove box you push the button in. LOL
Wow very beautiful car I like the color and sounds amazing
Edelbrock v8 big block - that’s precious - “ bucket “ .
that is my absolute dream car
Lol at 10:42 he says, "it's not really that interesting to see." I beg to differ. This car is fucking amazing. I will have to get one some day.
Geez, sorry everyone is crying about one thing you said that was wrong. Don't know why people feel the need to bitch so much, but personally I'm thankful you showed off the car. This a very beautiful Firebird. One of the nicest I've ever seen. Don't listen to the haters. Like the girl that said the video wasn't a pleasure to watch. I hate to inform her but her profile picture is NOT a pleasure to look at lol. This car is bad ass. I told one guy on here who was bitching that I used to watch a lot of videos on old Smith and Colt revolvers and I heard a lot of incorrect stuff so instead of bitching about it constantly, I bought my own guns and did my own videos.
Time for GM to bring Pontiac back.
This was My second car but mine was a 350 4 speed and light metallic blue around 1972 I graduated HS in 73 my brother was extremely jealous 😂
I’ve wanted one since I was 16
Very nice car 😮
Nice engine build it really sounds good.
Just a heads up, Pontiac 400s, were not big blocks. Either way, nice card and a very quick video.
saabkyle style !! nice car dude, i really enjoyed your video
Bring them back
Oh man it sounds amazing!
NICE Custom 1968 Pontiac Firebird 400 Startup Exhaust & In Depth Tour
Beautiful Bird for sure, but it was extremely painful to watch!! Next time take the time to truly understand the car as in the detail you are explaining, what makes this a fully custom car? I see a 400 Pontiac not a 400 big block! Lol. But overall a true work of art, love the Chip wheels and sounds like a set of 40's with dumps, awesome Bird for sure, great job to whoever restored her!!!!!!
It sounds identical. 3 inch ceramic straight pipes. Sounds like Hell on Wheels.
love it! great sound
I owed one, black on black leather. Man I miss it. Ran a 250 shot of nitrous in her on TH400 tranny. Would reap asphalt when I hit gas pedal in first. Sold her and put down money on RT10 Roadster, Viper. Good times.
Was yours a 1968?
@@fordmustang98guy ya. 68 400 by 400
I bought it in Tennessee while was deployed in Iraq lol
She's beautiful, great sound, thank you for sharing....question how did you get it to dump with a touch of a button?
No glove box for you!
''this is the key'' that starts the car''' soo what? u stallin for some reason? ''an this key opens the trunk'' whoopee!!
My uncle had to of these cars i learned how to do basic wrenching on them one was candy apple the other mean dark green 60s in the rear 70s in the front all stock with 750s holly carbs baby moon rims ram air im working on rebuilding the 400 big block has a project
A little late but in Murica we say Zee NOT Zed. Idk y but that erks my American ears.
Does the Zeh 28 also have Edelblock covers?
Who needs a radio when you got a nice sounding 400 olds
Yeah I know, but the 400 is an Oldsmobile motor. Only reason I know is cause my friend has a trans am with a 400
2JZBobby
This one is Pontiac 400, not the Oldsmobile.
Someone tell the guy making the video that there's no such thing as a big block Pontiac -- leave that to the chebby and furd boys. ;-)
2JZBobby
depending on the year you're probably getting it confused with an olds 403 6.6 litre pontiac is cool like that lol olds and pontiac get along well i suppose
+Richland Rods & Customs ya lol lots of people actually would put olds 455s in 2nd gen T/As and do them up
Badass car!!!
Beautiful car 👿
The head lights aren't working
Push the button on the glove box
Tell me this man just said big block
Can any of you American chaps give me your input on whether I should be going for this exact car or a 1965 Mustang Fastback with a 302 Windsor?
I want to cruise the streets of Australia and hopefully set off a few alarms while I'm at it.
That is bad ass.
My god, let the owner go through the details. It is not useful to know that the engine in your words "has a lot of horsepower" You PUSH the button in for the glove box. Have you ever opened a glove box on a car from 1975 or earlier?
I must have this car I'm going to fill the trunk with weapons!!!... Phantasm / Supernatural Style
Clean AF
What a tool...Pontiac Big Block...please explain that? Better stick to your Lexus or Honda...or whatever.
what compression ratio, cam size, head CC lsa duration
Sweet!!!!
Around how much did this thing cost?
11/10
AWESOME
If that engine is stock, or close to it, then you are way off. The best engine of the 5 offered in 1968 (400 Ram Air II) only produced 340HP. Even if these were underrated, you aren't even close to 450HP.
The Firebird 400 only had 330HP with a 4bbl Quadrajet, so what else do you have in that thing to say it is 450HP?!
+Casey Hill everyone over rates hp lol they dream
who restored it?
Sold for how much in Canada
American sexiness.
What color is that?
Had a 69 bad ass car love it
YOU SOUND A LOT LIKE SABBYKYLE , the real reviewer. That video wasn’t a pleasure to watch since you move your camera a lot ...
I'm buikding a 68 camaro ss with 468 big block
O.K. any pontiac engine isn't a big block, I am a Pontic guy and I know a lot...
i thought all Pontiacs were long blocks?
Pontiac V8s from the same era were all the same dimensions (width), but with different internal volumes they made their different block "sizes". 350 had the same external width as the 400, 400 same as 455, etc. A great video by Myvintageiron7512 called Pontiac Engine Breakdown will explain this much better.
you misunderstand the terminology
its only one size, but compared with chevy.......its like a chevy bigblock
you misunderstood the concept.... pontiac, olds and buick all use the same type of block they are similar, they are in no way shape for form comparable to chevs, why do you think people always blew them up? because they redline at 5500-maybe 6k but thats pushing it for iron rods and crank. iits actually a midsize block because it was smaller than a bb and bigger than a sb, watch the video he'll prove you wrong
Best part was when he broke the glove box
+Chappo lol
If this was my dads firebird he would be in the hosiptal.
Is this car for sale?
this an awesome car but i think the wheels are way to big for it
who is this guy ''Rainman'' ?
lmao
Something about the Pontiacs firebird emblem screams Nazi. This is hands down my dream car but that badge will have to come off
I'm pretty sure the owner of this car restored this bad boy.
PONTIAC DOESN'T MAKE A BIG BLOCK . Education is the trick before you review a car.
do u just knock on random peoples houses to ask to review there cars on something?
I have the hot wheel version lol
Lost me at 400 BB
A-TA VA
400 not a big block 455 is pontiacs big block 400 would be a small block
did he say zed28
Z28?
@@fordmustang98guy yeah you said zed not z
A 400 Pontiac engine is not a big block. It's more of a medium block, but it is known to put out more torque than a 396 Chevy big block.
Well this Firebird had a 400 before it now has another motor in it
There was never such thing as 400 big block Pontiac. Lol smh
those 68 firebirds and camaros are one of the prettiest cars GM has ever made.
Agreed. I like the Firebird better but only because this are more rare than the 68 Camaro by me. I live in Chicagoland area.
Sweet color..miss my 67. This guy saying it's noisy! Lmao
I know John Delorean was Chief Engineer for Pontiac Motor Division during that time.
Dont need no radio when your engine sounds like that dude, im in love
Gorgeous car. I don't understand how on so many old school muscle car videos people can give a thumbs down?!? How the hell can you not love these old cars. The only problem I have is figuring which one I want!
I had a 68 Firebird years ago. Out of all the cars I've ever owned it was absolutely my favorite. Regret selling it to this day.
And thays why im never selling my 68 ,400. Current price in my country $100,000.
Did this man just say 400 big block?
Yea he just doesn't know Pontiacs
@@bailey9r It isn't his fault. I blame it on lack of guidance,early in life. An impressionable mind,is a terrible thing to waste.
@@michaelnagy5173 lol
People say that all the time, although you nor I never would.
@@bailey9r oh my god, im 15 and i know every pontiac engine is the same block. you can tell this guy doesn't know what hes talking about. he talks about having 2 keys as if its an alien space ship
Had a black 68 Firebird for 10 years. 400 with the muncie rock crusher 4 speed and 411 posi. Giant snorkel hood scoop, tail spoiler, jacked up with big ol fat tires. People used to beg me to sell it. In fact I had a 67, 2 68’s and a 69 all at the same time. Man I miss those days. 😩
Come on bro, Pontiac never made a big block!
Sure they did but they never made a small block. Pontiac did make a short deck engine case for the Trans Am series and almost produced a short deck 366 but it was the wrong era to make ridiculous HP numbers
I hate these wheels. Get the original rally wheels on.
Stop Islamic Conquest Don't Be Naive It's not my car it's belongs to a buddy of mine
I like those best buy this is still bad ass
Yes by all means PUT THE RALLY WHEELS BACK!
Anyone here know if these cars sounded like that new? Did most cars sound like that back then? If so y’all are lucky to have grown up without so many regulations forcing cars to go to 4 cyl twin turbo hybrids with so many gosh darn electronics. But if anyone knows please let me know.
You , your self , should not be selling cars . product knowledge is key . no pun intended . know all aspects before you begin to advertise .
bud, not a big block, its the same size block as a 389, 455, 326, every pontiac engine has the same block. when it comes to pontiac, there is no such thing as a big or small block
Just love the 68 firebird.
nice video, but too much quak quak quak
Hey bro what kind of exhaust do you have on there and what size pipe
What’s up bro no replay on the exhaust
Steve Cagle it’s a standard chambered exhaust system. Pretty typical.
Pontiac didn't have a big block until 73. The 326. 389. 400 and 421 were all made from the same lock.

Very nice car! I've always thought the 68 firebird was better looking than the Camaro. Your firebird sounds bad ass. Have fun with it!
Jim H it’s not his it’s his friends
Beautiful. Can you please tell us the pant color details? I have a 67 and would love to match your paint. Do tell.
Not one word about the missing grab handle on the drivers door
nice….but too much cam for my liking….but thats just me….
looks serious from the side familiar same as camaro
Thanks for sharing
