Myrtle Motors, that sure does sound familiar. Was that around here?

They were either in north or south carolina. They built 428 HO firebirds in 1968

I know what it is now, that Myrtle Beach place.

Don't know anything about those 428 Birds, but I'll bet they were hot.

I believe they're in LI, NY. They got a lot of press back in the 60s.

Our '68 Ram Air Firebird also had the Camaro spoiler added. It had the tail end painted black by the dealer. I'm not sure if the tailend in the picture above is black or just shadowed. It was neat and distinctive anyway. Myrtle got mentioned in the magazines in the '60s as they were into Pontiac performance.

hey guys, I knew those cars when they were new. First, the outfit was located in Maspeth, Long Island, New York in the 50s and 60s. It was called Myrtle Motors and was loosly conected to Royal Pontiac-lets say the eastern connection and used alot of Royals parts and experience. The car, a 428HO firebird was a typical DIO engine swap.It started out as a 400 car that received a 428/390 H.O. short block and used the original D-port heads. They swapped out the 068 HO cam for the hotter 744 ram air stick and added if I remember corectly, a ram air package and 3:90 gears plus some suspension work and dyno tuning- the car really cooked, times in the mid 13s at over 105-107mph-a real street sweeper! That car would competative on the street today,and would be easy to build. Those were the good old days-I remember them well.-Rick

Sadly, no I did not, that technical data was obtained from several detailed magazine articles written on that car in 1968-69 time frame and I read all of them, It was a golden era
