For Sale: 1969 Pontiac Firebird in Marietta, Georgia

1969 Pontiac Firebird Convertible - 400 V8 • 389 Dyno HP • Carousel Red (Code 72) • Black Top & Interior • A/C • Power Brakes • Fully Documented Restoration

Collectible Motorcar of Atlanta is pleased to present this striking 1969 Pontiac Firebird Convertible, finished in show-stopping Carousel Red (paint code 72) with a black power top and black interior. Powered by a strong Pontiac 400 V8 backed by its numbers-matching 400 automatic transmission and a 3.36 limited-slip rear, this Firebird is a fully restored, highly detailed example that looks as good underneath as it does on top - and we've got the receipts and photos to prove it.

Drivetrain & Performance
Pontiac 400 cu. in. V8 (non-matching numbers)

Dyno-tested at 389 horsepower - documented, not a guess

Original, numbers-matching 400 automatic transmission

Original rear-end housing with all new gears

3.36 limited-slip rear end - great street-friendly performance ratio

New rear axles

Polished ceramic-coated headers feeding a dual exhaust system with crossover, visible in the underside photos

The VIN originally called for a 350 HO, but the car has been correctly and tastefully upgraded to a Pontiac 400 V8, which was also an available option in 1969. Under the hood, the engine bay is show-caliber: Pontiac blue block, chrome valve covers, chrome hardware, and a distinctive Edelbrock triangular air cleaner painted to match the Carousel Red exterior.

A chrome alternator, cleanly routed hoses and wiring, and a tidy black engine bay firewall and inner fenders all speak to the level of care that went into the restoration. A large gold power-brake booster and front disc brake plumbing are clearly visible, confirming the car is equipped with power brakes for confident stopping.

From idle to full throttle, this Firebird feels exactly like a proper Pontiac muscle convertible should-plenty of torque, crisp shifts from the 400 automatic, and that unmistakable small-block growl from the dual exhaust.

Cooling, Electrical & Security
To keep that 400 happy in all conditions, the car features a thoughtfully upgraded cooling system:

Auxiliary electric cooling fan mounted neatly inside the radiator shroud

Fan positioned right at the upper radiator hose entry for maximum efficiency

Wired into the A/C cycling switch, so it automatically engages when you turn on the air conditioning

Adjustable temperature control for the auxiliary fan mounted on the driver-side core support inside the engine bay

This is the kind of upgrade you don't see, but absolutely appreciate sitting in traffic on a hot day.

Security is handled by a hidden kill switch, cleverly tucked under the dash just behind the radio volume knob. It's easy for the owner to reach but virtually invisible to anyone else-a simple, effective theft deterrent for a car this nice.

Exterior - Carousel Red, Black Top & Classic Stance

The photos speak for themselves: this Firebird pops in its Carousel Red repaint (correct code 72 from the cowl tag), performed roughly seven years ago in the car's original color. The finish has great depth and gloss, and the body panels line up nicely from the pointed nose to the rear quarters.

Key exterior visual details:
Dual-scoop performance hood, giving the front end an aggressive, GTO-like look

Correct four-headlamp front fascia with integrated chrome grilles and bright bezels

Chrome front and rear bumpers that shine beautifully

Clean "Firebird" fender script and subtle side body lines that look razor-sharp in person

Black power convertible top in excellent condition, paired with black boot when the top is down

The car rides on a set of period-perfect 5-spoke wheels with bright trim rings and caps, wrapped in Cooper Cobra Radial G/T raised-white-letter tires. The stance is absolutely spot-on: just enough rake to say "muscle car," but still very streetable and comfortable.

Interior - Black Buckets, Console & Woodgrain

Inside, the Firebird features a black bucket-seat interior that presents extremely well and retains its classic Pontiac style:

Bucket seats with clean vinyl upholstery, correct horizontal pleating, and matching rear bench

Factory center console with very nice woodgrain trim, housing the automatic shifter with a classic wood-look knob

Straight, crack-free dash pad and original-style gauge cluster

The main instrument pods are clean and legible, with the speedometer showing 25,086 miles on the odometer (mileage exempt due to age)

Factory-style radio still in the dash, preserving the period-correct appearance

Matching black door panels, rear panels, and carpet, all in good condition

Interior lighting functioning in the lower kick panels and console area, giving a warm glow at night

The driving position is comfortable, the three-spoke Pontiac steering wheel feels just right, and the combination of open air, V8 rumble, and that bright Carousel Red hood in front of you is exactly what a late-'60s Pontiac convertible is all about.

Vintage Air & Creature Comforts
The car is equipped with Vintage Air-style air conditioning, integrated cleanly into the engine bay and cabin:

Modern A/C compressor visible on the lower passenger side of the engine

Period-correct interior vents and controls maintain a factory look

A/C works in concert with the auxiliary electric fan for reliable cooling in real-world driving conditions

The power convertible top makes dropping the roof a simple affair-no wrestling with latches and manual frames. Just lower the glass, hit the switch, and you're ready for top-down cruising.

Undercarriage & Chassis
The underside photos show a solid, nicely detailed chassis:

Clean front subframe and suspension components painted in black

Dual exhaust system with crossover pipe and nicely routed pipes exiting at the rear

Floors and frame rails appear solid, with no obvious patchwork

Suspension and steering components show as well-maintained driver-quality, not a hacked-together project

This underside presentation fits the rest of the car: restored, honest, and ready to be driven and enjoyed-not something you're afraid to put miles on.

Cowl Tag & Factory Colors
The cowl tag confirms the factory pedigree:

ST 69 22367 - 1969 Firebird Convertible

TR 208 - Black interior

72 B - Carousel Red exterior with Black convertible top

So, what you're seeing here is a car that still wears its original color combination, exactly as Pontiac intended-just with more power and a much nicer finish than it had in 1969.

Restoration & Documentation
This Firebird has undergone a complete restoration, and the work is fully documented:

Extensive photo documentation of the restoration process

All receipts for mechanical, paint, interior, and parts work

That paperwork is a huge plus for any serious buyer or collector. It provides confidence in the quality of the build and a clear record of what's been done, when, and with what parts.
