LS3-Powered 1969 Pontiac Firebird Convertible Restomod Hits the Market at $179K

Award-winning build by L&S Customs reimagines a 1969 Pontiac Firebird with modern performance and luxurious detail.


A meticulously crafted 1969 Pontiac Firebird Convertible restomod has hit the market for $179,900, blending classic American muscle aesthetics with modern performance and amenities in a show-quality package.

The car is the product of L&S Customs of Prospect Hill, North Carolina—recognized as NSRA’s Elite Builder of the Year. This fresh, zero-mile build is more than a tribute to Pontiac’s golden era. It’s a re-engineered performance machine clad in Electron Blue metallic, polished Schott wheels, and loaded with contemporary upgrades from nose to tail.

Under the hood, the convertible is powered by a 6.2-liter LS3 V8 crate engine, known for its robust 430+ horsepower. A Tru-Trac Front Runner accessory drive system, Be Cool aluminum radiator with dual electric fans, and smoothed firewall complete the show-ready engine bay. A Tremec six-speed manual transmission sends power to a Ford 9-inch rear axle, while the RideTech coilover suspension, four-link rear, and tubular front control arms ensure modern handling.

Stopping power is supplied by Wilwood brakes featuring six-piston calipers up front and four-piston units at the rear, paired with drilled and slotted rotors. Power steering and staggered Bridgestone performance tires—20-inch in the rear, 18-inch up front—round out the car’s street manners.

Inside, the Firebird boasts a custom black leather interior with power windows, power convertible top, and Dakota Digital gauges integrated into a restored dash. A billet steering wheel, air conditioning, stereo system, and finished trunk area make it as luxurious as it is aggressive.

The car is currently offered by RK Motors in Charlotte, with worldwide shipping available. With just 10 test miles logged, this build is essentially brand new—offering collectors and enthusiasts a rare opportunity to own a classic convertible redefined for modern driving. See it here.
