1969 Pontiac Firebird Convertible - California Car - 350ci V8 -

First-Gen Firebird convertible. The brother to the First-Gen
Camaro, the Firebirds aren't quite as common although their styling
was a little more unique thanks to the body and trim being more
angular. Despite being based on the same platform, a Firebird
coming down the road toward you wouldn't be mistaken for a Camaro
of the same generation. Twin headlights, chrome bumper/grille
combination, and an ironing board bulge in the hood was totally
different from the squared off look of the Camaros. Pontiac ran
multiple ad campaigns highlighting the ironing board hood treatment
that flowed into the pointed nose which was adopted in the '60's
across their range of cars. Funny how a simple styling cue like
that can last decades - the pointed nose on Pontiacs stuck around
until the Pontiac Division folded in 2009. No hide-away headlights,
letter badges, or 'screaming chicken' on the hood, just clean lines
on a handsome GM sports car. This Firebird features a bright white
exterior color with a Dark Blue convertible top. Which is a color
combination reminiscent of the coveted and rare '69 Firebird Trans
Am, so we immediately admired the color combination. This car left
the Los Angeles California factory finished in Warwick Blue (code
53) over blue vinyl interior (code 200). Sounds like a lot of blue
to us! We prefer the current white over blue combination. There
were much less Convertible Firebirds produced than the coupes
during the First Generation, and in the 1969 model year
convertibles made up only 14% of the total Firebird production. So
this car is a fairly rare bird. Inside the car is a tidy blue vinyl
interior that features a console, three spoke wood trimmed steering
wheel, and a more modern AM/FM/Cassette stereo. A power top makes
the transition from top up to top down much easier. Lift the bulged
hood and you're greeted by a 350ci V8 in a clean engine bay. The
engine is a 265hp 350 pulled from a '68 Pontiac which is stamped
with a 'YN' code. Classic chrome Cragar S/S wheels brighten up the
exterior of the car. Paired with the chrome trim and bumpers, they
really pop. This Firebird may not have a 'screaming chicken' on the
hood, but clean lines, a V8 under the bulged hood, and a tidy
interior all add up to an awesome classic sports car. Be sure to
