1968 Pontiac Firebird 400

Description

There's a simple reason the 1968 Pontiac Firebird stays in demand: it's stylishly sporty. The designers didn't give you a traditional front bumper, and instead, the full chrome grille surround looked more like a beak than a protector. And the way the hood comes to a point to meet this chrome gives this Firebird a proper aggressive face. There's even more enviable style everywhere you look - from the pillarless hardtop with no vent windows to the side marker lights done in the Pontiac arrowhead logo. The same feeling of thoughtfulness continues inside where the little details like the more intricate seat pattern and walnut simulated wood showed some added care. Plus, they even gave you a little extra displacement with the 400ci V8 being the top dog. So dig into the details on this first-gen firebird that reminds you of all the different ways that Pontiac built more excitement.
