Description : Gateway Classic Cars of Tampa is proud to offer this beautiful 1968 Pontiac Firebird Convertible. The Firebird may be the distant cousin of the Camaro, but one things for sure, when you see the distinct lines of a 67-69 Firebird you realize it is its own unique creature. Almost seventeen thousand convertibles were made in 1968. However, when you take into consideration how many were manufactured with power steering, power brakes, and a power top, it becomes a significantly smaller number. In addition, how many of those are still on the road today and in pristine condition? It can't be many. The seller states this rare 'Bird was restored about a decade ago, has been well cared for and seldom, if ever, driven in foul weather. Badged as a 400, the rebuilt Pontiac 350 engine sounds mean and runs strong with the addition of a high performance cam and intake combo. If you like documentation, no problem, because the original window sticker and brochure are included. If you're looking for a first generation convertible Firebird then you better move quick because this one will fly away fast!
