1968 Pontiac Firebird Sprint

The Pontiac Firebird was a classic from the start and these early cars are considered some of the sexiest and most desirable generation. In 1968 there were some nice changes from previous year with the Pontiac logo added to each side, single windows were installed and the vent windows removed, and added wrap around turn signals for the front. The convertible was still a rare setup and very few were produced compared to the numbers total produced.

We are pleased to bring to market this very clean and highly documented 1968 Pontiac Firebird Sprint convertible with the rare 3spd manual on the floor. Vehicle was sold new out of Willison Motor Company in New Lexington Ohio. According to previous owner and his research this is just 1 of 657 Firebird Sprint Convertibles with the 3spd manual. Vehicle was finely optioned with the following factory options; Firebird Sprint ($116.16), manual antenna ($9.48) push button radio ($61.09), dual-horns ($4.21), hood mounted tachometer ($63.19), rally gauge cluster ($31.60), rally II wheels ($84.26), custom sports steering wheel ($45.29), power steering ($94.79), soft ray glass ($30.54), and brake pedal trim package ($5.27) – grand total MSRP of $3,587.88. This was optioned very well and allows this car to really stand out from anything else on the market. Vehicle has the Quadra-jet carb setup, split exhaust manifold and 3.55 posi rear end.

The setup and overall condition of this Firebird is very nice and show quality with great lines, pristine paint and very clean and proper interior. The engine bay is very well sorted and represents the car properly with clear evidence that this car has been loved and thoroughly cared for. In 2017 previous owner spent almost $5k in engine work that included; degrease engine block, grind crankshaft, rebore and hone cylinders, refit piston wrist pins, rebuild head, resurface head install camshaft and install freeze plugs. Hood tach was also rebuilt and refaced along with calibration to the car. Classic Auto Air was installed in 2019 and rebuilt suspension.

Our test drive revealed a spirited Firebird with great looks, operation top, properly functioning gauges and smooth shifting and performance. This is a golden opportunity to get into a classic muscle car without a huge investment and be proud of attending any local or regional car show and confident to take home a trophy. Vehicle comes with PHS documents, original MSRP, build sheet, owner's manual, receipts, wiring diagram and two manuals.
