Description : Gateway Classic Cars of Tampa is proud to offer this breath taking 1968 Pontiac Firebird. Finding a "First Gen" Firebird is no easy task. Finding one that is highly optioned, backed with PHS documentation, and beautifully restored can be mission impossible. Pontiac's answer to the Chevrolet Camaro, the unique styling of the Firebird quickly gave it a life and following of its own. This beautiful Nightshade green 'Bird was #18 off the assembly line in 1968 making it an early production number and features the 330hp 400ci Poncho mill. And if that wasn't enough to make a Pontiac enthusiast salivate, this rare Firebird has power steering, power brakes, air conditioning, and power windows! This work of art was restored a little more than a decade ago and still looks rotisserie fresh. You just may want to park this one in your living room but you'll need to hurry because this 'Bird will soon take flight to a new home!
