Few cars capture the spirit of late-’60s American performance quite like the 1968 Pontiac Firebird Convertible. With its bold styling, open-top design, and a factory V8 under the hood, this Firebird is more than just a cruiser—it’s a rolling tribute to Pontiac’s muscle car legacy. Finished in a striking shade of yellow and set on 17-inch American Racing wheels, it’s the perfect blend of vintage appeal and modern presence.
Under the hood lies the original 350 cubic inch Pontiac V8, a numbers-matching engine that delivers the authentic muscle car soundtrack with an extra edge thanks to an Edelbrock carburetor and an upgraded electronic ignition system. The 2-speed automatic transmission offers smooth, period-correct driving manners, making this drop-top just as comfortable for a Sunday cruise as it is for a trip down memory lane. The Firebird maintains its mechanical simplicity with a set of four-wheel drum brakes and factory manual braking, while power steering adds welcome ease to city driving.
The interior is classic Pontiac through and through, with black vinyl bucket seats, a matching center console, and a driver-focused dash layout that brings you right back to the golden era of American motoring. The manually operated convertible top allows for quick transitions from sheltered comfort to full sun-soaked cruising. While the original radio is currently inoperative, its presence keeps the dash true to its roots—offering a blank canvas for the next owner’s preferred audio setup.
This Firebird holds onto its authentic roots with tasteful upgrades that don’t take away from its original charm. From the American Racing 17-inch wheels that subtly modernize the profile, to the clean factory lines and period-correct interior, it’s a car that honors its past while delivering reliable enjoyment. Manual brakes, the original heater setup, and wiper system all stay true to the car’s era, with the addition of electronic ignition improving overall dependability.
This Firebird is in solid mechanical shape and functions well in key areas. The car runs strong and idles smoothly, with operational speedometer, fuel, temperature, and oil pressure gauges providing accurate readings. The headlights, brake lights, turn signals, tail lights, and windshield wipers are all working correctly. The car performs reliably and drives as expected for a well-kept classic.
If you’re after a true slice of late-’60s muscle car freedom, this 1968 Pontiac Firebird Convertible checks all the right boxes. With its factory-correct powertrain, timeless styling, and just the right mix of factory charm and tasteful upgrades, it’s the kind of car that turns every drive into a nostalgic experience. Drop the top, fire up the V8, and enjoy the road the way Pontiac intended—raw, loud, and unforgettable.
