The current owner of this 1968 Pontiac Firebird Roadster is the 4th to enjoy it and he informs us that it originally sold in Stockton, California. We have solid lifetime documentation of this classic to show it’s been properly cared for throughout its lifetime, and it’s an older restoration that had the entire drivetrain replaced several years ago with the upgraded 460 V-8 and quality accessories throughout. As previously stated, this muscle car is mechanically sound and performs at a very high level when prompted.
Additionally, this 1968 Pontiac Firebird Convertible shows typical signs of wear for a survivor of this quality with some minor blemishes to the exterior paint across an otherwise laser straight body. The chrome work is impressive with no serious pitting, while the aftermarket five star wheels with extra wide rear tires give this classic an impressive stance. The white interior and matching soft top have also been replaced in recent years and the interior is exceptional- this example would make a fantastic high end driver to take in local meet-ups on the weekend.
An Incredible Value for Any Performance Enthusiast
Overall, this 1968 Pontiac Firebird 2 Door Convertible is an impressive muscle car that’s been overhauled to an entirely different level. With excellent documentation and superior ride quality, you simply won’t find a more impressive example at this price point anywhere on the open market.
