Vehicle Description
Just in time for summer! A Red Convertible! And if that's not
enough to tickle your fancy, then read on. Because this classic is
cool for a couple other reasons too. It has air conditioning for
those days when the sun is just too hot, or those times you're
dressed up for a night on the town. And, for those who appreciate
originality, it is a completely stock, numbers matching car.
You just don't see too many of these Firebird convertibles out
there and when you do, you notice them. The front end leads with a
chrome grill that splits the air side to side, flanked by quad
headlights, with a center section which fairs nicely into a crisp
ridge that runs back along the centerline of the hood. Sweet.
Especially when it's all shined up in its Matador Red. That crease
is echoed on the tops of the front fenders and also along the side
of the car with a line that runs front to rear. Firebird appears in
script on the front fender, along with side vents, and the Firebird
itself is on the rear fenders. The chrome shines brightly all
around starting with that grill, trimming out all the lights, the
fender wells, the rockers, and of-course the back bumper which
underlines those double slotted taillights. Chrome Torq Thrust
wheels add their splash of flash, and when the roof is down stashed
under its black boot, this car looks awesome!
Open the door and you will find a very nice interior. The door
panel have pleated centers with thin chrome piping and nice
armrests for cruising. The seats also have pleated center sections
with smooth vinyl along the sides. There is a three spoke steering
wheel with the Pontiac arrowhead in the center and a neat and clean
dash behind it. It is not restored and perfect, but rather has that
nice "survivor" patina to it. An analog clock sits next to the
ventilation controls and the A/C vent that you will appreciate from
time to time, and below it is what looks like a stock AM radio, but
is really and AM/FM and iPod compatible unit with speakers
throughout the interior. Below that is the gorgeous wood grained
center console, trimmed in chrome, with the wooden knob topping the
shifter for the automatic transmission. Floor mats protect the
carpets and of course the roof hides under its boot when its time
for drop top motoring.
Pop the hood and you will find that original numbers matching 400
cubic inch V8 engine painted that sweet Pontiac Blue. It is nestled
down in a neat and clean engine compartment that is gloriously
stock. The proper stickers are on the black air cleaner housing and
the radiator fan shroud. The air conditioning compressor sits
proudly on the left side with the alternator on the right just
above the power steering pump with the power brake booster and
master cylinder perched on the firewall. A coil spring front
suspension is equipped with disc brakes, and the power flows back
through the 3-speed Turbo 350 automatic transmission to the solid
axle rear mounted on leaf springs. A new dual exhaust system
includes Flowmaster mufflers which add a nice sound to the exhaust,
and the car sits on 235/60R15 Radial T/As all around mounted on
those sharp looking American Racing Torq Thrust wheels.
Come on down and check this sweet ride out. Then take it home and
head out for some summertime fun.
