For Sale: 1969 Pontiac Firebird in Concord, North Carolina

With a great color combo, 400ci V8 power, four-on-the-floor, and the right subtle upgrades, this 1969 Pontiac Firebird is quite attractive for those who like driving and properly enjoying their classics.

An iconic hardtop classic like this always looks great when someone takes the time to give it a bold red upgrade. This is more of a burgundy metallic. So you have the aggressive red style but with deeper tones and a nice radiance in the sunshine. It makes for quite a nice first impression. It doesn't try to be too fancy in its finish, but the clean and straight lines of the body certainly make this one look good. And you have some of your favorite pieces that make the '69 a desirable year, including the exclusive chrome front bumper/grille design and dual hood scoops with callouts. There are also some nice upgrades, like polished 18-inch wheels that let you mount modern sports tires, and there's a rear wing that would make a GTO jealous. It all makes for the kind of coupe you want to take everywhere just because it's memorable anywhere it arrives.

The black interior goes well with the deep burgundy interior. You can appreciate the little things, like the working dome light, wide headrest, vintage wood-like trim, and the red Firebird script floor mats that coordinate with the paint on the outside. And just like the exterior, it looks nice without ever getting too fancy to enjoy it truly. High-back front bucket seats, a center console in-between, a classic/grippy steering wheel, and a Hurst shifter ensure a confident driving position.

Under the hood is the light blue block that symbolizes proper Pontiac power. This is a year-correct but non-matching 400 cubic-inch V8. We love having this large and famous powerhouse, and the clean engine bay also shows off quality details. You have a four-barrel carburetor, an Optima marine battery, and a large aluminum radiator. Best of all, you have complete control over this big V8 thanks to the Muncie M20 four-speed manual transmission. Plus, you have power steering, power brakes, front discs, and grippy ZR-rated tires.

The idea with this one is that you have a sharp-looking driver's car filled with all the fun features you want. So you may decide to upgrade the radio or tune the motor to dial in your ideal performance. But when you have such a clean and complete example of one the most in-demand Firebird years around, you know this one delivers a terrific coupe for the price. Call now!
