Default Sold my Beetle & Boat ....Bought a 69 HO 350 Bird

Well, the chance came to sell the 63 VW. At the same time I found a 69 HO 350 4 speed firebird for sale. We did not take our boat out once this season. I told the wife lets sell both and get the bird. Its a PHS documented numbers matching car. Some of the options are 4 speed, HO 350, hood tach, deluxe interior, HD suspension, remote mirror, PS variable, mats, rear speaker, console and tinted glass. Could use a paint job but I'm having a blast driving it and going to cruise nights. I'll post up some pics soon.

Nice! Thise 350 HO engines would embarrass a Chevy 350 back in the day.

Hey Bruce, good to see you were finally able to get back into a Pontiac. Looks like it's a really nice Pontiac, at that!

Is that the original color combo? Seems a little unusual today, probably more common back in the day though.

Yes it came from the factory in antique gold with a green interior. Someone along the way painted it this shade of gold. It will be put back to the original color as time and finances allow. Right now I'm just enjoying the go-pedal! I Went from having 36HP to 325HP under foot. Slight difference there

Looks great. Paint doesn't look too bad. A good buffing will do wonders for it. Then use Maguire's Seal and Reseal on it, and the color will really come out then.
