1969 Pontiac Firebird

Description

A distinct combo, numbers-matching V8 power, and four-on-the-floor - this 1969 Pontiac Firebird is a gem for those who like driving their classics and being memorable wherever they go.

The trim tag tells us Midnight Green is the factory-correct color, making this coupe instantly distinctive. It was only offered in 1969, and we love the way there is a meanness like black but a nice added refinement when the deep green pops in the sunlight. It only gets better when you see that this example was given a later respray to make sure it retains a nice gloss and smoothness. The overall style of this one seems to be speedy and sophisticated. The crisp white vinyl roof gives this an upper-class kind of look. It goes with good panels, a bright chrome bumper, and doors that close with confidence to give you a total quality presentation. But when you also look at the dual hood scoops, 400 callouts, Rally II wheels, and beefy stance, you also know this is a proper power car.

Like the vinyl top, the factory-correct parchment interior is quite an attractive contrast against the exterior green. So you'll happily leave the windows on this hardtop to show off the color combo. And because the high-traffic areas, like the carpeting, are done in black, it's easy to enjoy this classic without showing too much dirt. It has a cool vintage look with the correct seat and door pattern. And the desirable factory pieces are still in place, including the working dome light, wide headrests, and a Delco AM/FM radio cranking out the tunes. This was even a factory A/C car (it will need servicing and/or parts to restore the function.) And because this is a true driver's coupe, the classic three-spoke steering wheel feels grippy in your left hand, and your right one may never want to leave the Hurst floor shifter.

Under the hood is the distinct light blue block of Pontiac's V8. This is the original numbers-matching 400 cubic-inch unit topped with a four-barrel carburetor. So you have an awesome sense of vintage style to go with the awesome original powerhouse. But as stock as this looks, it exhales with a deeper growl and added power thanks to headers feeding the H-pipe dual exhaust and Flowmaster mufflers. It's a smooth runner that feels confident out on the streets. Thanks to the Muncie four-speed manual transmission, you have complete control over the power and soundtrack. Plus, the power steering, power brakes, and front discs make for a classic Firebird that's easy to enjoy.

The sale comes with the owner's manual and Pontiac Historic Services (PHS) documentation. This is an attractive total package that also offers some of the most alluring features around. So when you're ready for powerful distinction, you're ready for this Firebird. Call now!
