Vehicle Description
1968 Pontiac Firebird Convertible. The Pontiac Firebird is an
American automobile built by Pontiac from the 1967 to the 2002
model years. Designed as a pony car to compete with the Ford
Mustang, it was introduced February 23, 1967, the same model year
as GM's Chevrolet division platform-sharing Camaro. This also
coincided with the release of the 1967 Mercury Cougar. Ford's
upscale, platform-sharing version of the Mustang. First generation
(1967-1969) The first generation Firebird had characteristic Coke
bottle styling shared with its cousin, the Chevrolet Camaro.
Announcing a Pontiac styling trend, the Firebird's bumpers were
integrated into the design of the front end, giving it a more
streamlined look than the Camaro. The Firebird's rear 'slit'
taillights were inspired by the 1966-1967 Pontiac GTO. Both a
two-door hardtop and a convertible were offered through the 1969
model year. Originally, the car was a 'consolation prize' for
Pontiac, which had desired to produce a two-seat sports car based
on its original Banshee concept car. However, GM feared this would
cut into Chevrolet Corvette sales, and gave Pontiac a piece of the
'pony car' market through sharing the F-body platform with
Chevrolet. Please Note The Following **Vehicle Location is at our
