Restored 1969 Pontiac Firebird Convertible Blends Classic Style With Modern Performance

A fully reimagined 1969 Pontiac Firebird Convertible is drawing attention in the collector car market, combining vintage styling with contemporary performance and comfort upgrades. Offered at $149,900, the vehicle represents a fresh build completed by L&S Customs of Prospect Hill, North Carolina, a shop recognized for its award-winning craftsmanship.

The classic muscle car retains its iconic silhouette but has been carefully refined with modern enhancements. Finished in a striking Electron Blue metallic exterior, the convertible highlights the Firebird’s original lines while incorporating premium details such as updated chrome, a high-quality power-operated soft top, and custom Schott wheels. The overall design approach preserves the car’s heritage while elevating its visual presence.

Under the hood, the Firebird has been transformed with a 6.2-liter LS3 V8 crate engine, delivering modern power in a vintage platform. The engine is paired with a six-speed Tremec manual transmission and supported by a Ford 9-inch rear axle, creating a robust drivetrain designed for both performance and reliability. Additional upgrades include a Tru-Trac front runner system, aluminum radiator, and electric cooling fans.

Handling and ride quality have also been significantly improved. The vehicle features a fully modernized suspension system with coilover shocks at all four corners, Ride Tech tubular control arms, and a four-link rear setup. Power steering and high-performance Wilwood disc brakes with multi-piston calipers provide enhanced control and stopping capability.

Inside, the cabin blends classic styling with contemporary amenities. A custom leather interior covers the upgraded seating and panels, while modern conveniences include power windows, air conditioning, and a premium stereo system. Dakota Digital gauges and a custom center console add a refined, updated touch without losing the car’s original character.

With just 10 miles on the build, the Firebird presents as a near-new restomod. It has undergone a comprehensive multi-point inspection and is available for worldwide shipping, appealing to collectors seeking a blend of timeless design and modern engineering. See it here.
