1968 Pontiac Firebird Convertible

The Pontiac Firebird is an American automobile that was built and produced by Pontiac from the 1967 to 2002 model years. Designed as a pony car to compete with the Ford Mustang, it was introduced on February 23, 1967, five months after GM’s Chevrolet division’s platform-sharing Camaro. This also coincided with the release of the 1967 Mercury Cougar, Ford’s upscale, platform-sharing version of the Mustang.

The 1968 Pontiac Firebird Convertible proved high-performance and folding tops could go hand in hand. Of course, there were some muscle car enthusiasts that thought only a solid-roofed coupe would suffice, but a total of 16,960 ragtops were sold in 1968, nearly one-fifth of total Firebird production for the year.

This 1968 Pontiac Firebird Convertible that is finished in Red with White Top over Black Interior. Chrome and brightwork look great on this car and show well. Under the hood is a 350 V8 that is paired with a TH400 automatic transmission.

Among the interior options are factory air conditioning, power windows, a tilt column, sport wood-grain steering wheel, AM/FM radio, premium bucket seats and a console with a T-handle shifter.

This car is special is an understatement. Certainly, unique and one of the very best first-generation Firebirds to be found anywhere.
