With a big 400 V8, four-on-the-floor, and bold paint, this 1969 Pontiac Firebird already had your attention - and that's before you dig in to read about all the upgrades. This Firebird does a terrific job of highlighting all the things that make you love these first-gen F-bodies. It starts with the bold Carousel red paint. It's a more modern application, which has extra luster to showcase sharp fender creases and full-width spoiler that make the car look... fast just sitting still. Plus, this red is perfectly paired with this car's more sinister side. After all, the dark headlight bezels that make this look like a serious street machine. But what we really love on these are the brightwork accents. The distinct chrome beak-like front end and slotted fenders give this Firebird the appeal of a bird in flight. Plus, the 17-inch REV wheels take this bright and bold presentation up a notch. When you open the door, you also can tell there was plenty invested on the interior, too. The bright parchment feels fresh on the seats, door panels, and headliner. It's a premium feeling that's furthered by the wood-like appearance on the dash. But the carpet remains in black, because after all, you want to hop in and never have to worry about dusting off your shoes. This is the kind of machine that you just want to roll all the windows down and crank up the upgraded AM/FM/CD stereo w/USB input. This is a true driver's muscle car with the wood & chrome sports steering wheel, an upgraded full Dakota Digital gauge package, and the Hurst shifter that's just calling out for your right hand. The top motor for the first-generation Firebird was the 400 cubic-inch V8, so it's great to have that correct displacement under the hood. The motor is presented nicely with the correct blue on the block, bright valve covers, and the air topper boldly proclaiming the big V8's size. Plus, you can see it has been built for driving with features like the aluminum radiator, good hoses, and upgraded pulleys. It inhales deeply with a Holley four-barrel carburetor and Edelbrock intake, and that adds plenty of rumble to the Flowmaster dual exhaust. And the best part is you are in complete control of the power and its soundtrack thanks to the four-speed manual transmission. And the feeling of a great driver's classic goes right down to the details with power steering, front disc brakes, and the grip of modern performance tires. This is the distinct and powerful classic that features all the best Pontiac has to offer. So don't let this deal pass you by, call today!
