Vehicle description
1968 Pontiac Firebird 350 survivor car with PHS documentation. It is has the numbers matching 350 2 bbl engine, all with correct heads, intake, exhaust manifolds, and carb. These are all correct date coded so I would assume they are also original to the block and car. The transmission is the 2 speed powerglide and the differential is the 2:56 stock setup. Odometer shows 16,571 but it is certainly not original. Likely 116,571 but that can"t be verified by me.
It"s options include factory AM pushbutton radio w/manual ant., Deluxe wheel discs (shown in the last exterior pic), console floor shift, power steering, power brakes, soft ray glass, Paint is code G, April Gold, and interior is code 251, Gold.
The car is incredibly original and complete with all original panels and floors. The car was repainted the original April Gold sometime before the second owner bought it in 1993. It still looks very nice with the expected small chip here or there.
The interior is original as well and is in very good condition with only a small seam separation on the upper driver"s seat back, and the rear seat back seams are stretching since they are in the sun more than the rest of the seat. Headliner is nice, visors are nice, virtually everything is original and impressive for a 49 year old car. The only detractors are the front kick panels are discolored from age.
I"m the third owner of the car and bought it about a year ago from an elderly man in San Diego, Ca. It was originally sold by John Hine Pontiac in San Diego on 4/24/1968 by for $3411.75! The second owner bought it on 10/26/93 and also lived in San Diego. I have the original sales agreement from 1968, the factory owner"s manual and warranty guide, the California title issued to the second owner in 1993, and the California black license plates that were on it from "68 until I brought it here to Missouri .
As a side story. .before I bought it, it was leased to Picture Car Warehouse in LA and was used in the second season of NBC"s series, "Aquarius". It appeared in many of the episodes on exterior shots. The company needed to find a "68 Firebird with a vinyl top to recreate scenes for historical accuracy. They used a silicone material applied to the roof to look like a vinyl top. It worked pretty well but knowing that, I can tell it"s not a true vinyl top car in the scenes on screen. I have documentation from Picture Car Warehouse, as well as pics and video clips of the appearances.
The car runs and drives as good as it looks, but is far too original to do any modifications or upgrades. The only thing I"ve allowed myself to do to it is to change the wheels/tires to a set of restored Rally II wheels with new BF Goodrich Radial TAs. I have the original wheels with great whitewall tires, and the factory "68 wheel covers. All this comes with the car.
I"ve tried to be thorough in my descriptions. The car isn"t perfect as it has a small chip here or there.
Feel free to contact me through eBay if you have questions or need pics of anything. A deposit of $500 is required through Paypal within 48 hours of auction ending. Remaining amount is either cash or cashiers check, but car and title will be held till funds clear. Shipping is at buyer"s expense and arrangement.
Thanks!
