Wild Horses: Ten Incredible 1000+ Horsepower Restomods

1970 Pontiac Firebird

As dark and foreboding as the ace of spades, this Firebird flips the bird to any pale imitations you may find elsewhere. Amazingly, this car sold to one lucky buyer for just $87,000 back in 2014. Powered by a 480 twin-turbo Pontiac V8, which has been bored to 4.25 inches and then turbocharged, this is as custom a Firebird as you can get. The engine is linked to a Rockland Tranzilla T56 six-speed, with a Ram twin-disc clutch and Kiesler shifter. As on the previous car, the engine is hooked up to a Magnaflow exhaust system. In charge of controlling this power are Wilwood disc brakes, which hopefully do a decent job.

The car rides on custom Forgiato Ritorno wheels and a fully custom suspension system featuring front coilovers. Inside, you’ll find racing bucket seats and not much else. That’s kind of fine though, everyone loves a bit of racing purity from time to time. A two-time featured vehicle at SEMA, $78K may well be the bargain of the century for this ridiculous car.
