Seller's Introduction
duPont REGISTRY Live presents this extensively restored and comprehensively reimagined 1969 Pontiac Firebird Convertible, a high-end restomod built to exceptionally high standards following a complete nut-and-bolt restoration. Showing just 692 miles since completion, this Firebird combines the timeless design of Pontiac's first-generation F-body with modern performance, engineering, and craftsmanship throughout. At its heart is a 572ci big-block V8 built by Jan Cen Racing, producing an impressive 742 horsepower on the dyno, backed by a built Art Carr 4-speed automatic transmission, Currie rear axle, QA1 suspension, and Wilwood braking system. Every aspect of the build has been carefully executed to create a refined, powerful, and highly usable restomod that retains the character of the original while delivering a thoroughly modern driving experience.
Overview
Finished in Black, the exterior is complemented by a Gray-painted side stripe with 572 badging, carbon fiber front splitter and rear wing, and dual hood scoops that hint at the big-block power beneath. TSW Bathurst Gunmetal wheels frame red-painted Wilwood brake calipers, while LED halo headlights, Firebird badging, and a brand-new black power-operated soft top complete the presentation. A hood-mounted tachometer adds a purposeful motorsport-inspired detail while providing a clear indication of the engine's performance potential.
Inside, the cabin is trimmed in Black leather upholstery with white-faced instrument dials, a wood-grain three-spoke steering wheel, and matching wood-grain center console. A B&M shifter provides control of the built automatic transmission, while air conditioning adds comfort and usability. The combination of traditional Pontiac styling cues and modernized components creates a cockpit suited to both spirited driving and cruising.
Power comes from a 572ci big-block V8 built by Jan Cen Racing, featuring Kauffman aluminum heads, a Moroso oil pan, long-tube headers, and a Wizard Cooling aluminum radiator. The engine's 742-horsepower dyno result is backed by an Art Carr TH200-4R 4-speed automatic transmission built to withstand the output, delivering the big-block's power through a Currie narrowed Ford 9-inch rear axle with a 3.90:1 gear ratio.
The chassis has been comprehensively upgraded to handle the additional performance. QA1 control arms, a QA1 four-link rear suspension with Panhard bar, Viking Performance springs, and hydro-boost power brakes provide enhanced control, while Wilwood 6-piston front and 4-piston rear calipers deliver substantial stopping power. Underneath, the floor pans are finished in gloss black, matching the exterior and highlighting the extent of this high dollar build. The result is a classic Firebird engineered with modern suspension geometry, braking capability, and drivetrain strength to complement its formidable big-block power.
This 1969 Pontiac Firebird Convertible represents a true high-end restomod, combining a complete nut-and-bolt restoration with carefully engineered modern performance upgrades and exceptional attention to detail. Built to a very high standard throughout and showing only 692 miles since completion, it pairs the unmistakable character of the first-generation Firebird with a 746-horsepower Jan Cen Racing 572ci big-block, built Art Carr automatic transmission, Currie rear end, QA1 suspension, and Wilwood brakes. The result is a thoroughly modernized classic that delivers the craftsmanship, performance, and driving experience expected of a top-tier restomod while retaining the unmistakable style and personality of the original Firebird.
