Rare, Powerful 1969 Pontiac Firebird Coupe
New to our Pleasanton showroom is this highly impressive 1969 Pontiac Firebird 2 Door Coupe with gorgeous red exterior paint and an upgraded parchment interior. This fierce muscle car has been fully overhauled with a YS 400 cid V-8 engine under the hood with lower compression heads, a 3.55 limited slip differential, a turbo 400 automatic transmission, Vintage A/C, an electronic ignition w/ a Hi torque starter, a four core radiator with an electric secondary Fan, factory tilt steering and a vintage stereo system with an Aux. connection. This muscle car is in excellent mechanical shape as well and it is ready to be driven today!
Only 15,000 Miles on Fully Overhauled Drivetrain
The current owner of this 1969 Pontiac Firebird purchased it back in late 2005 as the 3rd lifetime owner and the odometer showed 45,622 miles on it at that time. We do not know if that’s original lifetime miles (now at 75,219), but we do have extensive documentation on file showing the investment in this classic vehicle. The drivetrain was overhauled within the last 15,000 miles with low compression heads so it can run smoothly on premium unleaded fuel without additives. It’s also been stripped down to bare metal in 2013 and painted/polished with no orange peel, plus you’ll find new LED tail lights, a new dash bezel, 3-point seat belts, and new carpeting, trim, emblems, bumpers and hood tach.
The parchment interior is also a recent upgrade and this ’69 Firebird was really tastefully finished throughout. You will find some minor blemishes but overall, this muscle car really impresses in person.
Additionally, this 1969 Pontiac Firebird 2 Door Coupe starts easily and really performs at a high level on the open road. The 400 V-8 motor sounds fantastic and the acceleration is instant, plus the upgraded transmission shifts effortlessly throughout the gears. The stopping power is also above average and this powerful vehicle doesn’t need anything to be enjoyed as a high end driver today.
Ready to Be Driven & Enjoyed Right Away
Overall, this 1969 Pontiac Firebird is a beautiful driver-quality muscle car that can be driven and enjoyed right away. With extensive upgrades and fantastic documentation, this one’s available at a steal of a price and it’s ready to enjoy.
