A 1968 Pontiac Red Firebird Convertible - with triple white strip down the side. The car has a white Convertible top with black bucket seats and center console. A real collectible with being 42+ years old with only 70,000 original miles!! This is right - 70,000 miles. This car is untouched, and un-molested!! All Complete!!! The engine has no leaks and the car runs very strong - and has been well taken car of!!! My Dad thought this was THE CAR to have back in 1968!!! Comes with Power Steering. The 350 V8 265 hp @ 4600 rpm, 355 lb-ft of Torque @ 2800 rpm – engine is very strong! This car will set you right back into the bucket seats when you hit the accelerator - it has mega torque. I accidently chirped the tires in the garage when I was pulling the car out of the garage this week - and that is with the engine was not fully warmed up. It has an electric/hydraulic convertible top flips up and down with no problems with the flick of the switch on the dashboard. Definitely a great ride with the top down!! Puts you right back to 1968!! Nothing like the older convertibles – a lot of great memories!! I just replaced the convertible top switch new - and I also have a new Top Hydraulic Pump that comes with the car that I purchased - but did not need. The Convertible top hoses and original pump are in great shape and no leaks. This car has been stored by my family in a heated garage under a car cover for a total of 30+ years!!! It was 17+ years in my heated garage under car cover and another 15+ years in a family member’s heated garage under car cover – just pulled out yearly just to start the engine and take a quick spin. The engine is very strong!! The original paint is in great condition - just needs a good cleaning and waxing. This car was not abused at all. Is in great shape with all the car fully intact. Since General Motors a couple years ago disbanded the Pontiac car brand, once marketed as GM's "Excitement division. This car will be worth Mega $$$ in the future. GM sold this car as one of the "wide-track" designs that became a major selling and advertising point giving Pontiac cars a distinct cornering advantage over other cars at the time. This Pontiac was also from the heavy-horsepower days before the early '70s – when the muscle car era ended as gas prices rose. The Pontiac Firebird was a flashier version as compared to its brother the Cheverolet Camaro. This car is very clean – the interior seats are fine – the carpet is black and in excellent shape – Center Console in great shape – needs to have the top dashboard replaced from minor sun cracks – but the rest of the interior, dash, instruments are in great shape. The car starts right up - just had new distributor cap, plug wires, and plugs installed by my Mechanic last year. The car also recently had the oil and Antifreeze changed – so the car runs great. The body is also in excellent shape – only a very small rust spot near the battery holder from the battery acid over the years. No other rust on the car - no rust in the trunk either!!! The Convertible top works great and has Izing Glass for the rear window – but could use replacing – but is fine. The convertible hydraulics work great – flips back with the electric hydraulic mechanism! The engine has special valve covers and air cleaner added at the Dealer - this was an option that the dealers would put on the car. The same with the pin striping. The engine has a 2 barrel carburator - looks to have no leaks at all. Very clean. Every year I just put a new battery in the car - it starts right up with no troubles at all. The Trunk is solid - no leaks. The underneath is clean. You can still get original parts for these cars from YearOne Performance. They have parts magazines on all the parts for 1968 Pontiac's. I checked the NADA Classic Car Pricing today – for an all Original stock car with low mileage - The Average Retail is $25,520 and the High Retail is $45,100!!!! This car is priced well below that - price to sell. The wife has told me to clean out the garage - she wants to park her vehicle there!!! I am selling this car for a friend. Because of the car age, it is sold where is, as is – but you will not be disappointed. I just drove the car tonight with the wife today – it is a real head turner!! This is a truly a real classic and collectible car!! Give me a call on my cell# (203) 470-2587 if you have any questions or would like to make an appointment to look at the car. Spring is coming - this car is ready to take a spin with the top down!!!! This car could really be worth the $45,100 with minimal work!!!! A Turnkey - Complete Car - Ready to Drive!!!
