Here is my 69 Firebird Sprint convertible, back when I bought it in 2010. It is a nice rust free two owner car out of San Diego.

Interesting options; console, 8 track, woodwheel, tinted glass all around, am radio, decor group, wood shift knob, mats, compact spare and glove box lamp (the last two become optional late in the model run). But manual steering and brakes.

I have since had it painted and upgraded the 3peed manual to a correct saginaw 4speed. I also found an NOS set of the custom hubcaps (the car came with the cheaper looking deluxe units as in these pics)

Next step is to redo the interior as needed. not sure about adding power steering yet; its a bear to turn at low speed but feels much better at speed than a power steering car.

I have a pic of the PHS on my iPad but I can't seem to figure out how to upload it. I know how to do it from my computer but not on this iPad, anyone out there who can help me?

The car has a neat history, I spoke to the original owner; he lived in upstate new York and was going to Univerisity in San Diego in the summer of 69. His grand dad offered to buy him a new car but he said no V8's (too dangerous!) so he found the highest HP six out there, a sprint 6

He left for California literally from the Pontiac garage the day he took delivery. When he graduated in the early 70's he sold the car in san diego to the guy who owned it till 2010.

Here it is, just figuring out how to upload it was a challenge for me, how to get it right side up was beyond my patience-abilities!!
