Gateway Classic Cars is proud to offer this beautiful 1968 Pontiac Firebird Convertible. Only 1,925 miles have been put on the car since its recent restoration – and she is stunning inside and out!

Bolted to the block is a chrome Edelbrock performance intake manifold with matching chrome valve covers and air clear, new distributor & wire looms, pully system, and chrome alternator. A brand-new radiator sits up from keeping the engine nice and cool. New brake lines, master cylinder, brakes, and suspension have also been added to the car.
