Gateway Classic Cars of Atlanta is proud to present this 1968
Pontiac Firebird Convertible. The Pontiac Firebird is an American
automobile that was built and produced by Pontiac from the 1967 to
2002 model years. Designed as a pony car to compete with the Ford
Mustang, it was introduced on February 23, 1967, five months after
GM's Chevrolet division's platform-sharing Camaro. 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. Powering this beast is a 350
Cubic Inch V8 backed by an Automatic Transmission. Modifications
for 1968 included the addition of federally mandated side marker
lights: for the front of the car, the turn signals were made larger
and extended to wrap around the front edges of the car, and on the
rear, the Pontiac (V-shaped) Arrowhead logo was added to each side.
The front door vent-windows were replaced with a single pane of
glass.Options on this 1968 Pontiac Firebird Convertible include:
Pioneer AM/FM Radio, Power Convertible Top, Power Brakes, Power
Steering, Seat Belts, Vinyl Interior, and Cragar Wheels with Radial
Tires.
