It's hard not to get excited about a red 1969 Pontiac Firebird convertible. After all, with less than 11,700 of these built, over 45 years ago, it's getting harder and harder to find V8 examples with bodies that look this good.Let's start with the amazing red paintwork. Sure, Pontiac gave you a like color from the factory, but its luster is no match for modern paint practices. With a shine this bold, it's a good thing this convertible has exceptional panel fit and uniform gaps. After all, imperfections can't hide from high-gloss. The design of these first-gen cars really lived up to the Firebird name, with a beak-like nose and slotted trim that looks like a bird in flight. This iconic appearance would never be complete without all this trim present like it is on this one. As an added brightwork bonus, chrome Cragar wheels were added just like you would have done if you were looking to grab attention in '69.You paid a little bit more for a Pontiac back in the day, and the difference can be seen inside where there's a delightfully upscale black interior. It has a great matching pattern on the vinyl high-back bucket seats that remains complete and fantastic today. This is a comfortable center console car, that has its fashionable black broken up by bright trim pieces, wood on the shifter, and three-spoke steering wheel. Like a good sports car, the driver's focus is on the deep dual-pod gauges, and right next to that is the switch for the power convertible top. There's even an auxiliary gauge to keep you updated on what's going on under the hood.This is the kind of engine bay you love to see in a driver's car. It has a few pieces for show, such as the bright air cleaner and valve covers. But, the flash does not distract from the honest appearance of this 350 cubic-inch V8. It still retains the correct Pontiac blue on the engine block, but all the plug wires and hoses that you know need regular maintenance appear fresh. It's this total package that makes you not hesitate to take this Firebird out for a drive, and that's exactly how this one should be seen. The V8 exudes a great sound out of the Flowmaster dual exhaust, and it has easy cruising features such as power steering and the TH350 three-speed automatic transmission.Fast and comfortable, this is the kind of red ragtop that you know you will always cherish. It's not just because '69 Firebird convertibles are becoming increasingly rarer every day, but also this is a great-looking American icon. Call now!!
