The seller offers for sale this 1968 Pontiac Firebird, powered by a 305ci (5.0-litre) V8 petrol engine, paired with a four-speed manual transmission. According to the seller, this example has been comprehensively restored across its bodywork, paint, interior and mechanicals, and is presented in Verdoro Green metallic. The seller states that the original 400ci V8 has been replaced with a professionally fitted and tuned 305ci small-block V8, a change intended to make the car more usable and dependable for modern driving, mated to a four-speed manual gearbox. The seller further reports new chrome bumpers, handles, locks and trim, fully refurbished suspension, and a retrimmed interior featuring high-back front seats, new carpets and a restored dashboard, while the original rear seat upholstery has been retained.
The first-generation Firebird arrived in 1967 as Pontiac’s interpretation of the pony car, sharing its underpinnings with the Chevrolet Camaro but distinguished by its own styling, character and performance focus. The distinctive “Coke bottle” body, split front grille and purposeful stance gave the Firebird an identity all of its own, and it quickly established itself as one of the defining American performance cars of the late 1960s. Today the original Firebird is regarded as a cornerstone of the muscle car era and a genuinely collectible classic.
Finished in its handsome Verdoro Green and benefitting from a thorough programme of restoration work, this Firebird offers the looks and presence of a late-1960s American icon combined with the practicality of an upgraded and tuned drivetrain. It represents an inviting opportunity for a collector or enthusiast seeking a characterful classic suited to weekend cruising, local shows and regular enjoyment.
