Grew up with Pontiac in my young life, All Vintage Pontiac should be saved.. try to etc.. i daily driver 68 Dart.. much respect for your efforts on this one.. also a former employee of Classic Industries.. rare to get the, 67 Firebird call.. yes even in SoCal not to mention selling to the rest of the world.. mostly U.S .. keep at it... Cheers from Huntington Beach CA

Very cool find, I am restoring a 67 Firebird myself... can't wait to see more of this ole Bird!!

We brought one used in 1974 for $900.00 in good condition and used it for a while until we finished school.

😃 this looks amazing! 😃

My 68 GTO sat for 46 years and the 400 was seized. Tried Marvel Mystery Oil and ATF in the cylinders and still locked tight. Poured 5 gallons of diesel in valve covers and let it sit over night and it broke it free. With the way the cylinders looked and the hood being on it I would fill it till it leaks everywhere and give it a try. It will break free and then you can fire it off. I'd bet money on it.

Just found your channel and subscribed, looking forward to finding your other videos.

I knew the door key and ignition key were different. I left my keys in the ignition of my 74 Vette and inadvertently locked the door getting out in a car wash. Called a locksmith and he arrived and just eyeballed the door key hanging from my ignition key and made me a new door key on the spot with a little file. Gave the man $50 (this was in 1978).

Round key fir doors and trunk . Square key for ignition. This is KNOWN

Subbed for the great work

Roadtrip!

Pull the plugs,fill the cylinders with ATF,etc.....THEN try to rotate the engine.....ALWAYS!!!!! Watching this is very stressful 🫣

It's GM always 2 keys door and ignition.

Not a bad car! 350 2/barrel(326?), power glide, power steering, power brakes and somewhat ironically for Alaska, air conditioning. Dinged up pretty badly but not a lot of rust. Worthy project I think. I vote 400 Poncho mill and a four speed 😁

Man that thing is in great shape really! I don't see much rot..pex

It seems they never watched a Vice Grip Garage video on how to get a old car going after sitting for decades. If your arms can't break the engine free the starter definitely won't break it free and the starter is trash.

Fantabulous!!

I might even be able to afford that. Love the car. I was 16! I would do the minimum to make it look like a Trans Am Car from back then and pass a DOT inspection. 15:54 THE FLOORS ARE GOOD? How lucky are you guys? Fill the cylinders with MM oil and then come back in a few days.

My 69 Grand Prix sat for 30 years and had 2 spun bearings and it still fired up, you need to pull the valve covers and make sure you don’t have valves stuck open

That wasn't seized closed it was seized open . Love the Birds Pontiacs are legend car's .

Pop the valve covers and loosen the rockers. You are also fighting the valves which the upper end is probably the culprit.

Hey guys just so ya know the doors and trunk are on the same keys the ignition is another key usually it's square head . The door and trunk is round. But hey your trying too resurrect a old Pontiac. Nice . do you research on the brand you will find a lot of stuff you didn't know . Take it from a Pontiac lover they are very cool cars.

Oh! I miss PAY-N-SAVE😅.

Strip the car completely down and do a total rebuild, or else sell it. I’ll take it 😃

Throw the 326 garbage away and put a 400 cu with tubo 400 and change the steering column and put a factory console and shifter in it can't believe that has a column shift.

I want to see more on this firebird I have soft spot for old Fbodies ? ❤

Well with the fact that the transmission has cracked in all those places....... Maybe the front pump in the transmission is locked up, or torque converter is seized up or something? 🤷‍♀️ Have y'all tried pulling the torque converter bolts off of the flywheel and trying to turn the engine then? 🤔 Might make a difference 🤷‍♀️

Cool color combo, Teal with white is it paint code D F or K? I have a 68 GTO Alpine Blue CODE D over pearl white interior

Even in anchorage where do you find parts?

i am like 666 fear me as i now ascend to your gawd!

Keep the old girl original. Check to see if it is numbers matching to be accurate. The ole 326 is very stout when operating and maintained. You guys could do it with a good machine shop help. Auto transmission replacement or rebuild is basic for this model. It is a well-optioned cruiser, not a high performance racer. Good luck…!

I never have understood why folks want to get these motors unstuck as opposed to just yanking it and replacing the necessities. Can anyone help me understand?

Pontiac 400 out of 67 to 70 and a short shaft turbo 400 both out of a Bird or GTO

Did you put oil in the motor.

Put another engine in it and another transmission get it running

Keep it all pontiac

With gm cars of that time I think it matched the glovebox

Also u should pull the valve covers as their wasn’t any carb/ air filter nothing too protect the valves. Most likely some intake valves are causing the issue

Oil pan big hole in it from rust

Pull the valve covers and heads so you have a good view of the cylinder walls, heads, valves and all..A gasket kit would be better than not knowing what shape the heads and engine are in...Transmission has to another one. I'd want 4speed trans lol

Weigh it in!

Use grease on that hinge not that spray stuff.

Wow!..... Y'all really lucked out!!! I would have bet money that those floor pans would look like swiss cheese seeing all that moss and shit growing on the carpet inside! 🤷‍♀️ Ya'll must have a pretty oddball climate up there in Alaska. Snowy for sure!..... But apparently very low humidity! 🤷‍♀️

Title feels a little click baity, there was no attempt at driving bro lol

The answer is no. No is the answer.

Anything but an LS

Swap out the motor and transmission.

Inherited my late brothers 67 firebird back in 91,326 2spd.Put it upside down in the river with a stuck throttle.Its the little things that get 'ya.

Why didnt you use marvel mystry and let it soak overnight

Put in a. LS motor

Put a 400 in it.

🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️

It’s a 327 no such engine as a 326 hehe

Leave it to a more capable person.

Goofy guy's

Waste of time. Just take it apart and get it back together as fast as possible. Prices for replacement restoration parts are doubling every five years now

Okgay

To know if the motor isn't locked up put a hot battery in there an hit the solenoid to bump it

Ls swap

I'm hoping that the other half of Africa heads your way, because half is already setting up shop in Britain. Alaskan oil and graphite is earmarked for removal soon, so they'll need workers.

Everything's a joke to you, because you are already rich and have a suitable vehicle. It's good to see KZfaqrs starting out from the other end, instead of begging for subscribers and courting views.

Time wasted trying turn over a motor that has to be pulled anyway.

Put a LS

why did you buy this car if all you have say about it is what a peace of crap it is?

Ls swap
