Pontiac Firebird 350 V8 1969
General description :
ONLY 40K ACTUAL MILES, #S MATCH 350 V8, PS, PB W/DISCS, FACTORY AC, TONS OF DOCS
A great color combo, numbers-matching V8 power, and a ton of paperwork – this 1969 Pontiac Firebird is a gem for those who like driving their classics and talking about them wherever they go.
The subtle and factory-correct code-73 Verdoro Green, and black vinyl roof give this a great vintage appearance, and a restoration later in life ensures a premium first impression. So this makes for a standout cruiser. And the '69 Firebird really is a terrific vehicle for those who like to show up and show off. The unique front chrome bumper surrounds the grille while giving this bird a beak-like front end. This style point is highlighted further as it meets the tip of the hood's tapering power bulge. The silhouette offers crisp and clean lines while also have a hint of kick-up at the wheel wells to accent the Firebird's performance nature. And this full level of both style and speed come together perfectly on Pontiac's iconic Rally II wheels.
The interior was changed from gold to black, and we think it was a smart decision. After all, it's quite a nice total package when the exterior roof color is a preview of the interior color. Plus, it's an opportunity for fresher elements like the headliner and upgrade to comfortable cloth seats. And speaking of comfort, you paid a little more for a Pontiac back in the day, and so it's nice that this one continues the premium tradition with options like the center console. Plus, upgrades like the AM/FM/cassette stereo and provisions for air conditioning fit into this theme, too. But what you'll really enjoy is how the classic three-spoke steering wheel was designed to give you a clear view a the deeply recessed gauges.
When you have a numbers-matching car like this one, then you also want the engine bay to look like this, too. It has a great correct style presentation where the Pontiac turquoise block and shining valve covers are instantly noticeable against the darker elements like the factory air topper. This coupe has only averaged around 820 miles annually, and so you get the impression that someone has cared for this classic correctly. And since you'll want to drive this Firebird everywhere, you'll appreciate easy driving features like the three-speed automatic transmission, power steering, and power brakes.
There's a ton of documentation that comes with the sale. It includes the original window sticker, bill of sale, warranty card, dealer invoice, and owner's manual. There are even restoration photos to prove that it has been taken care of correctly throughout its life. Something this vintage and distinct should usually cost a ton more, so hurry up and grab this Firebird before someone else does. Call today!!!
