![]() His career planted him in the native state for most of his life. The original owner lived in Los Angeles and took possession of it there. This wonderful little Pontiac was actually delivered to Kennedy Pontiac in San Bernadino California straight from the assembly plant in 1968! It is my privilege to give a brief description of this Poncho’s heritage, history & condition. Presented here and for your consideration is an absolutely gorgeous 1968 Firebird 400 that has been in the hands of only two individuals previously! ![]() So if you want power and distinction, this is the coupe for you.Although the word collector car is thrown around loosely today there are actually few vintage vehicles that truly fit the definition. This cool car shows you what the Trans Am would have been had it debuted a year earlier. Power steering, brakes, front discs, and wide BF Goodrich T/As make this a good cruiser. There's a stout TH400 three-speed automatic transmission that knows how to handle the power while delivering smooth shifts, and it feeds into a versatile 3.55 Positraction rear end. It fires up eagerly, and the ceramic-coated headers add power and rumble to the dual exhaust. You'll also notice the right supporting pieces, like the MSD ignition, billet pulley system, and aluminum radiator with an electric fan. This one earns its speedy Trans Am style with an upgraded 350 cubic-inch V8 built right with aluminum heads, an aluminum intake, and a Holley four-barrel carburetor. Lift the hood, and you'll see how the smooth and dark inner fenders funnel your attention to the tidy and shining heart. And your right hand is going to love the B&M Megashifter. The gauges are crisp and clean AutoMeter units, including a large speedo and tach, and are set in a cool carbon fiber-style panel. Once you slip behind the three-spoke sports steering wheel, you begin to feel the tingle of performance that this Firebird radiates. You also get some nice comfort upgrades, like an armrest center console, cup holders, and a touchscreen infotainment system with an AM/FM stereo, USB port, and Bluetooth. It's an unmistakable style where even the courtesy lights are working. The upholstery, carpeting, door panels, headliner, dash, and all other fundamentals are nice and dark from fresh investment. And the way this is color-matched feels like a nod to the Endura front end that debuted on the 1968 GTO. The wide beak that's distinctly 1968 gives the grille even more space for an aggressive blackout style. You see it in the full-length waistline crease and rear fender vent trim. But while you know it was made to pay tribute to the 1969 T/A, it also makes sure never to betray the design lines that make the 1968 car distinct. It also gets the style right with the dual hood scoops, full-width rear spoiler, Rally II wheels, and a rear panel painted to match the stripes. So this one gives its take with Victory Red, but the way the silver stripes are laid out, just like the original Trans Am, you can instantly see the visual connection. For example, the first T/As were white with blue stripes. This car is a bit of a fun "What if." After all, the Trans Am didn't debut until 1969, so this one can have some fun with history.
