Description[]
The Custom '67 Pontiac Firebird is an exact representation of Brendon Vetuskey's 1967 customized Pontiac Firebird.
Nicknamed the BVbird, Brendon's actual car started life as a Verdoro Green Firebird with a Pontiac 400 ci V8 which he bought in 2009; Brendon's initial idea was to give the car a restoration to make it look as new, but during the acid dipping process, "not much came back", so Brendon decided to "have a bit of fun with it". Modifications on his car include a 5.7L LS1 from a 2001 Pontiac Trans Am, flush mount grill with a Mustang grill and BMW headlights, custom hood with 2015 Ford Mustang vents, enlarged wheel openings, fender vents, widened quarter panels, '69 Firebird Trans Am wing, frenched tail panel, widened rear bumper, drainage gutters, modern fuel filler system, Redline Gauge Works gauges, Tremec T56 Magnum 6-speed transmission, rollbar, Detroit Speed QuadraLink suspension and removed wipers.
