RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE "F" BODY WAS FIRST THE SOLE PRESERVE OF THE CHEVROLET DIVISION. WHAT STARTED AS THE PROPOSED PANTHER ULTIMATELY BECAME THE 1967 CHEVY CAMARO. HOWEVER, IN VIEW OF THE MARKET SIZE
THE FORD MUSTANG HAD REVEALED, GM REASONED THAT TWO HEADS WOULD BE BETTER THAN ONE.

THE MUSTANG WAS COMPLEMENTED BY THE UPSCALE MERCURY COUGAR SO GM DECIDED THAT IT'S CAMARO COULD
ALSO USE A PARTNER IN CRIME. PONTIAC HAD BEEN FLYING HIGH SINCE THE GTO ARRIVED SO IT MADE GOOD
SENSE THAT PONTIAC SHOULD SUPPLY GM's SECOND PONY CAR FOR THE SPORT COMPACT SALES RACE.

THE PUBLIC'S ACCEPTANCE OF THE NEWEST PONY CAR REINFORCED PONTIAC'S DESIRE TO SEPARATE IT FROM IT'S
CHEVROLET COUSIN. FORTUNATELY, THERE WERE PLENTY OF ENTHUSIASTS WITHIN PONTIAC WHO COULD ENSURE
THE FIREBIRD COULD BE ORDERED WITH A SURPLUS OF "SPORT". THE CUSTOMER WAS THE OBVIOUS WINNER.

  THIS PARTICULAR 1968 FIREBIRD REPRESENTS AN OUTSTANDING OPPORTUNITY TO ACQUIRE ONE OF THESE TREASURED CLASSICS. IT'S NOT A NUMBERS-MATCHING TRAILER QUEEN BUT AN AWESOME BUILT-FOR-THE-STREET DRIVER.
