Pontiac Firebird 400 V Convertible Very original example in a solid 1968
General description :
Trade-in car. 1968 Pontiac Firebird 400 V8 convertible. Acquired in part exchange. This American muscle car is in a very original and sound condition. The bodywork is splendid and rust-free and the underbody superbly original, everything as it was in 1968! The straight bodywork has correctly aligned shut lines. The neat paintwork has been nice and thinly resprayed. The vinyl interior trim and black hood have been well maintained. It has that famous V8 in combination with a good working automatic transmission. Mechanically it has a very good bill of health and runs and drives well. A very nice and unadulterated Firebird. All the chrome brightwork is original and nice and shiny. It is due a major service and check-up. The appealing thing about this car is the unadulterated original condition of the body, chassis etc. It has American papers and is already imported avoiding additional costs. An interesting car!
