Vehicle Description
This stunning 1969 Pontiac Firebird is exactly the kind of car that
correctly answers all of your most important questions. First, it
is indeed a numbers-matching 400 V8 under the hood. Yes, that's a
stick shift you see. Yes, the black paint is just as beautiful in
person. Yes, it has been upgraded for comfort (like A/C) and
performance. So now that it correctly answered all our queries,
what's stopping you from taking this 'Bird home today?
We've got the restoration photo book to show you how much work it
takes to get a spectacular looking coupe like this. The black has a
clearcoated mirror finish that gives the body the ideal mix of
luxury and performance, which was Pontiac's goal all along.
Heightening this aggressively elegant appearance the beak-like
bright chrome grille surround and the factory-style 400 badges on
the hood scoops (the owner swapped the original hood for this more
aggressive optional one, but this and most other components that
have been upgraded also have the originals come with the sale.)
These 1st gen Firebirds were truly distinctive with the now-iconic
touches like slats in the front fenders, trick Firebird logo
side-marker lamps in the quarters, wraparound shiny rear bumper,
and aggressive spoiler. It's all presented quite nicely on this
restored coupe.
It's great to have a double-black car when the interior looks this
nice. The split bench makes room for six total when you need it,
but the folding armrest turns the two front seats into individual
buckets. The door panels, carpeting, and headliner are nice, dark,
and feel fresh. Black might attract heat, but that's not your
concern because this is a cold blowing air conditioned car.
Instead, you get to focus on the cool glow of the upgraded Dakota
Digital gauge set. Your left hand gets the factory style steering
wheel, and your right one has the floor-mounted shifter. There's an
upgraded AM/FM/CD stereo if you want tunes, but we're willing to be
your favorite soundtrack will be coming from the dual exhaust.
Under the hood is the original numbers-matching 400 cubic-inch V8.
But you can tell from the first moment you lay eyes on it that
there was a serious investment during restoration. It starts with
just about every component that could be polished was installed,
but beyond the shine is some serious substance. It includes a
Spectre performance air grabber, four-barell carburetor, Edelbrock
intake, aluminum radiator, and long tube headers. Best of all, the
four-speed manual transmission means you have complete control over
this enhanced power package. But more than just big power, this
Firebird has power steering, upgraded front disc brakes, and modern
grippy tires mounted on torque thrust-style alloy wheels. So you
can see this is a full driving package that's always ready to
comfortably drive near of far.
Complete with build photos and maintenance records/receipts, you
can see that this Firebird was restored to be the perfect
comfortable classic that you can drive every day. It's mean on the
outside but comfortable on the inside. Your perfect all-around
coupe awaits. Call today!!!
