Firebird with the 'Screaming Chicken' on the hood was the first
generation Firebird, like the car you see here. Styling was simpler
and a little more subdued than the Firebirds that prominently
displayed a feathered creature on the hood. While we love all
generations of Firebird, there is just something about the first
generation cars that is slightly more appealing. We are excited to
have a beautiful first generation Firebird convertible like this
one in our showroom. Originally Verdoro Green when it left the
Lordstown Ohio Assembly Plant, this clean Firebird is now finished
in a much brighter Carousel Red, which was also a color offered on
the '69 Firebird's color option palette. Pointed nose, dual vents
in the bulged hood, horizontal vents in the front fenders, and a
rear spoiler are slight hints that this car is not just a base
model Firebird Convertible. Another great option on this brightly
colored bird is the hood mounted tach. This is such a clever
feature, and one that does not scream, 'hey look at me' - it blends
right in with the bulges and vents in the hood. Looking over the
rest of the exterior, it is evident that great care was taken to
make sure that the fitment of all the panels, trim, and lighting
were dialed in just right. Finished to a high standard, the
Parchment interior provides some contrast from the Carousel Red
exterior. Bucket seats take center stage, while a wood trimmed
center console houses the gear selector for the TH400 transmission.
A stereo consisting of a Custom Autosound head-unit and cleverly
installed aftermarket speakers pump out the tunes. Looking past the
wood rimmed, three spoke steering wheel we see a pair of clean,
clear gauges. Under the hood in a tidy engine bay is a 'WZ' coded
400ci V8 mated to a TH400 transmission. The 'WZ' coded engine is a
High Output engine offering 330 horsepower, a 4 BBL carburetor, and
high compression (10.75:1). The engine also features an Edelbrock
intake manifold and newer MSD plug wires. If the 'Screaming
Chicken' styling of the later Firebirds isn't your thing, take into
consideration this First Generation Firebird to add to your garage.
With a great color combination, a High Output engine, and timeless
styling, a classic American car like this is sure to brighten up
your collection. Be sure to check out all the photos and video on
