Description
Due to new projects, this recently completed and special Pontiac Firebird is now being sold. The entire car has been overhauled and painted, including the undercarriage, brakes and suspension. The car body was modified into a pickup truck in the late 1980s by H&H Auto Exports in Florida to avoid Finnish vehicle tax. Very few examples remain and this is one of them. A Firebird that sticks out from the crowd and will draw lots of attention at car shows.

Feel free to contact me in English, Swedish, Finnish or German. Car is fast, stylish, loud and tuned! It idles with authority and will peel the rear tires upon command with ease. The seller is also the car's builder. This car was built with classic 80s performance blended with 2000s tuning elements. The special body style of this Firebird is a great conversation starter anywhere and the custom audio systems and sporty interior also attracts younger people. A very special custom car that has been a labour of love for many years but now has to go due to other car projects.
