HAVING WATCHED FIRST THE FORD
MUSTANG AND THEN THE CHEVROLET CAMARO ENTER INTO THE PONY
CAR MARKET, PONTIAC FINALLY GOT INTO THE ACT IN THE MIDDLE OF 1967. THE
FIREBIRD WAS OFFERED
WITH BOTH SIX AND EIGHT CYLINDER ENGINES, LIKE THE MUSTANG AND CAMARO.
THE FIREBIRD UNDERWENT A MAJOR RESTYLING FOR THE `69 MODEL YEAR. THEN
PONTIAC RELEASED
A LITTLE PUBLICIZED OPTION PACKAGE - THE TRANS AM PERFORMANCE AND
APPEARANCE PACKAGE,
CONCEIVED TO CAMPAIGN IN THE SCCA's ROAD RACING SERIES. IT WAS OFFERED AS
A $725.00 OPTION.
ONLY 689 T/A COUPES AND 8 T/A CONVERTIBLES WERE BUILT. ARE THOSE LIGHT
BULBS GOING OFF YET?
PLEASE LET ME MAKE IT PERFECTLY CLEAR THAT THE CAR YOU SEE IN THIS AUCTION
IS NOT ONE OF THOSE
8 TRANS AM CONVERTIBLES AND IT IS NOT BEING PROFFERED FOR SALE AS A 1969
T/A. HOWEVER, THIS CAR
DOES REPRESENT AND OUTSTANDING OPPORTUNITY TO ACQUIRE THE PERFECT PLATFORM
TO CONTINUE
BUILDING A TRIBUTE `69 T/A OR KEEP IT AS ONE VERY NICE & VERY UNIQUE 1969
FIREBIRD CONVERTIBLE.
ORIGINALLY A LORDSTOWN 8 CYLINDER FIREBIRD (RED WITH BLACK TOP), IT
NOW SPORTS A FRESHLY BUILT 1968
400 ENGINE WITH AN EDELBROCK PERFORMANCE PACKAGE INCLUDING DUAL
CARBURETORS. MSD IGNITION.
FIBERGLASS HOOD (STEEL FRAME) WITH HOOD PINS.
POWER DRUM BRAKES. 3 SPEED MANUAL FLOOR SHIFT.
3.08:1 OPEN REAR DIFFERENTIAL.
CUSTOM INTERIOR.
VENTUS HR2 RUBBER ON TORQ-THRUST STYLE 17" RIMS.
NEW PMD CENTER CAPS.
RUNS AND DRIVES BEAUTIFULLY,
IF YOU ARE IN THE MARKET, OR EVEN IF YOU'RE NOT, DON'T PASS UP THIS OPPORTUNITY
TO
ACQUIRE A CLASSIC AMERICAN MUSCLE CAR THAT YOU CAN ENJOY, BOTH NOW AND WHEN
YOU
GET A SUBSTANTIAL RETURN ON YOUR INVESTMENT. CLASSIC CARS YIELD
AN 8 POINT ROI.
HOWEVER, FIREBIRD's OF THIS CALIBER EXCEED THAT NUMBER ANNUALLY.
THE NICE THING ABOUT OLD CARS IS ...THEY ALWAYS GET OLDER.
