This 1969 Pontiac Firebird 400 is VIN 001 from the Pontiac Van Nuys
assembly plant and is powered by a matching-numbers 400ci V-8
engine mated to a Turbo-Hydramatic automatic transmission. The car
was built on September 19, 1968, and shipped to Nelson Pontiac, in
El Monte, California. It was to be used as an auto show display
vehicle kept on the West Coast but was never turned back into
Pontiac and the dealer kept it for himself. The car is
well-equipped with the 400ci engine package, Turbo-Hydramatic
transmission, power steering and power brakes, air conditioning,
tilt column with simulated wood steering wheel, Rally II wheels,
red-line tires, remote trunk release, shoulder harness belts,
headrests, gauges with clock, deluxe interior and about every
option available for 1969. It was frame-off restored and given a
fresh coat of the correct paint code QQ, Verdoro Green. The
original matching-numbers engine and transmission were also
rebuilt. Once the restoration was completed, the car was driven
only test miles to make sure everything was working properly. It
comes with a copy of the complete set of PHS paperwork.
