Description

1968 Pontiac Firebird Convertible


Bring a true piece of Pontiac muscle car history back to life with this 1968 Pontiac Firebird Convertible, an iconic first-generation classic that offers an outstanding opportunity for collectors, restorers, and enthusiasts alike. Combining timeless styling with a desirable 1966 Pontiac 389 V8 powerplant, this Firebird has the foundation to become an exceptional weekend cruiser, showpiece, or investment-quality restoration.


Under the hood is a 389 cubic-inch V8 engine sourced from a 1966 Pontiac GTO, paired with what the seller believes to be a Turbo 350 automatic transmission. According to the seller, the engine rotates freely, but a local mechanic has determined the Summit 650 carburetor is defective and will need to be rebuilt or replaced before the vehicle can be returned to service. This gives the next owner an excellent opportunity to complete the mechanical restoration to their own specifications.


Several suspension components and bushings have already been replaced, providing a solid starting point for the restoration process. The vehicle has been parked for many years, preserving much of its originality while awaiting its next chapter.


One of the standout qualities of this Firebird is its body condition. The seller reports no visible rust or collision damage on the body panels, trunk, or engine compartment, with only minor surface rust present on the chrome bumpers. A clean Texas title accompanies the vehicle, and the car retains its original 10-digit pre-1981 VIN, as expected for vehicles of this era.


The odometer currently reads 9,059 miles; however, due to the vehicle's age, the actual mileage is unknown and is believed to have exceeded 100,000 miles.


Whether you're searching for a rewarding restoration project, a rare first-generation Firebird convertible, or a classic Pontiac powered by the legendary 389 V8, this example offers outstanding potential and is ready for its next owner to bring it back to life.
