Brought home A '68 Firebird 400 HO Convertible Today-Courtesy of Greg Reid
Greg Reid originally posted posted about this car. http://forums.maxperformanceinc.com/...d.php?t=705734
I kept thinking about this car and in mid December I decided I would go have a look. Car has been well cared for over the years. The car is basically stock so that really appealed to me. se428bandit and I went back and looked at the car a little more thoroughly and didn't see anything to make me question trying to make a purchase. Finally got it home today. Best part of the day though was that I got to talk with the seller and his wife for about an hour. They are super-nice people and are close to celebrating their 60th wedding anniversary. Thanks again Greg! |

Congrats Kyle. As I told you today, when I saw that car for sale, you were the first person I thought about. I'm very happy that you got it and that it will stay in Georgia!

very common misnomer HO stripe was for 326,350 HO only you could order the Rally stripe on all but the 326,350 HO this was same stripe as the HO but the front fender stripe is just like the rear half,with no lettering. Ive been reproducing them for about 25 yrs.

Love the car and the color. (I am a little partial to 68's).
Great story too. I love hearing stories like these where REAL car guys score desireable cars instead of investors who have never had a spec of grease under their fingernails.

Sounds like a very cool Bird.
Do you know where it was sold at? (09 728, have no info) Does it still have the original drivetrain?

Like I said in the other thread, this is a real nice nearly survivor quality car that still had the original paint on it up until recently. Not much has been changed outside of the short block.

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
