1968 Pontiac Firebird 350 Hardtop



A powerful rival for Ford Mustang, the Pontiac Firebird saw daylight in 1967 when the US company rolled out both the 2 door coupe and the 2 door convertible. Even if it was based on the same platform as the Chevrolet Camaro, the Firebird had numerous different parts, starting with the design and ending with the engines. If the most significant appearance change is the body integrated front bumpers, more differences could be found under the hood as the first generation Firebird came with a choice of a few 6 cylinders and V8 options.  



For consignment, a 1968 Pontiac Firebird 350 hardtop showing 43,946 miles, but the true miles are unknown. About 15,000 miles ago, the numbers matching engine was rebuilt and numerous modifications took place to bring this '68 further into the 21st century including a Holley Sniper system and Wilwood front disc brakes.



Exterior

A chrome nose caps a body dressed in Primavera Beige with a light green vinyl roof, all presenting handsomely and straight with field marks that distinguish this car from other F-bodies of the time. Ornamental trim marks sandwich the midline on the rear quarter while Pontiac's arrowhead marker light appears just above the chrome end of the wrap-around bumper. In front, the early Firebird insignia, a design of Native American motif adorns the fender and reappears on the gas cap on back in a body colored fascia that houses dual slit tail lights on each side. 15-inch black painted steel wheels wear period correct hubcaps and are wrapped in staggered size tires with a late 2020 date code. HID headlights and LED tail lights add some modernization and other than some paint chips at a wheel opening and a dinged tail light bezel, the exterior is in great shape. 



Interior

Greenish gold first shows up on the door panels which show some wear with discoloration throughout the driver's side and a missing arm pad on the passenger side. The gold front bucket seats are out of a Mercedes, but ivory Firebird seats come with the car. For now, three point seatbelts will keep you planted and robust side support will keep you upright. The rear vinyl seats with tuck and roll show some wear, as do the sidewalls and carpeted package tray. A wood rimmed Pilot steering wheel fronts the simple dash, home to two main gauges and these are upgraded Dakota Digital units relaying more than six bits of information to the driver, backlit in aqua. Simulated burlwood backs the center stack where we find the vent levers over an added cupholder in the radio delete location. That burlwood covers the center console from which a Hurst shifter emerges with black ball handle. Tan loop carpet is on the floor, no headliner looms above, and the trunk is barren and colored by surface rust in the center section. 



Drivetrain

Under the hood is the numbers matching 350ci V8 L30, looking very original in its Pontiac silvery blue and hiding a Holley Sniper EFI system under the matte black air cleaner cover. It's backed by a Tremec TKO500 5-speed manual transmission sending power to the 10 bolt rear axle. Wilwood power disc brakes are up front while power drums are in back. Power steering is also onboard. 



Undercarriage

Clean conditions prevail underneath with minimal surface rust and a newer exhaust system that connects at an H-pipe, meets a single muffler in back, then exits out of sight via steel pipes behind the fender. Suspension consists of coil overs in front with Pirate Jack tubular control arms and leaf springs in back. The pans are dry and the knuckles are clean of build up. 



Drive-Ability

The Holley system allows for a trouble free start and the exhaust allows for a healthy bellow and with a slightly raked stance, we roll the Bird onto the test loop and row the gears. It performs well and provides decent power from its original engine while the brakes are eager to help slow things down. We note the reverse lights do not illuminate but all other functions operate as they should. While Classic Auto Mall represents that these functions were working at the time of our test drive, we cannot guarantee these functions will be working at the time of your purchase.  



What side of the aisle do you sit on, Camaro or Firebird? We've got plenty of Camaros to choose from, about 30 at the time of this writing. But good Firebirds are a bit harder to come by and we're happy when they grace our halls. No complaints about this one as it presents nicely with great paint, some modern touches, and a fine running numbers matching 350 to put a cherry on top. It's likely this bird won't be perched here long, so answer the call of the wild and call us today. As they say, the early bird catches the worm!
