A cruise down Woodward Ave.
As Delivered
Our project car is a beautiful Verdoro Green 1967 Firebird 400. The car is equipped with its original 400/400 drive train (83,000 miles), 3.23 limited slip rear end, deluxe interior, air conditioning, power steering, tilt wheel, power brakes with Corvette style disc brakes up front and 14" Rally II wheels with Redline tires. The car was cosmetically restored in the early 90s.
