If I were ordering it for me, it would be a triple black, RAII, 4 speed, Rally II red lines, gauges, hood tach, deluxe wheel, soft ray glass.

If I were ordering it for my wife, it would be pretty much just like the car she has now...Alpine Blue, Parchment, white top, white HO stripes, hood tach, TH400, safe-T-track, PS, PB, A/C, Cruise, AM/FM, rear antenna, rear seat speaker, deluxe interior, power top, soft ray all windows, custom sport steering wheel, console, clock, dual exhaust, rally II...only thing to add would be gauges, 3.08 gears (rather than the 2.56 that came with the car), red lines (rather than white walls that came with the car), and most likely the full HO package...

how would you order now knowing what you do and not using it as your only means of transportation or back then as a driver?????

[jinxd68]

Flambeaux Burgundy, deluxe white int, PS, PDB, Rally II's with redlines, RA II 400, M-20, 3.55 safety-trac rear, white power top, Rally gauges, hood tach, center console w/clock, am/fm radio.
don't know if you could get a m-20 with the RA II not into the ra car options.
BTW I have a 68 burg 400 auto deluxe white int power top, ps, rally gauge with console and wire wheel hubcaps. complete numbers matching car... will be nice when finished

To the past post that didn't know you could get the rear spoiler for your 68 bird, Yes you could get it, either from the factory or as a dealer added option. the dealer add on was more expensive but some waited because the dealer would usually shy away from them because it made them to hard to sell with because some looked at as a race car with them so many were ordered without it for most any dealer stocking cars. Also I forgot to mention I would have had the 3.55 rear gear in mine as that was the best all around gear for a bird with a Ram Air II. OH! i forgot to say the verts were stiffer because of the body brace because of it being a vert. And the color is Verdao Green not Voodo green.

Close - it's Verdoro Green, Code Q.

Throw a little Hendrix on, get in the mindset & you'll be calling it Voodoo too!

Thanks for the replies, the reason I was asking is I have a 68 PHS documented 400 Convertible that was originally Flambeau Burgandy, Red standard interior, and 3 speed transmission. It is currently a late model Bright White, Black standard interior, NOM,hood tach, and 4 speed transmission.It is as good a car as I have ever owned, PO did a good job on mechanics and body work. I don't like the Bright White and want to paint it a 68 color. Also, I ordered a new Parchment standard interior from Legendary and have it ready to install. Red interiors tend to fade and I have always loved the 68 Pearl Parchment. I was originally going to paint it the Burgandy but I have not been able to find it in modern formulas. I was thinking really serious about Voodoo Green. PPG has the formula for it in their new Muscle Colors line. It won't ever be a numbers matching car but I want to showcase how good a 68 Bird can look in a sea of Camaros. I know I want the original style exhast splitters, does anyone have a source for them? I also have 14x7 rally II wheels and will order Diamondback redlines soon. This car is also equipped with tilt wheel and wood wheel. I have a set of Longbranch manifolds to install and will install Ram Air pans.Car is presently equipped with a Camaro spoiler which I may remove and install a new deck lid. What would you guys do?

Im calling BS on that one

in 69 I bought a 68 Camaro spoiler for my 68 Bird.
It was $17 list price and my cost(dealer net) was $14.
Until 69 T/A there was no Pontiac Firebird spoilers dealer or factory

355 and M20 was not available in 68 RA

I totally agree with you Cammer, X2 on the BS. Never saw a PHS with that option,or an original 67 or 68 with a spoiler. I was sixteen in 1968, and I don't remember a Firebird with a rear spoiler. Only saw them on Camaro.

Me 3 on the spoiler. Not listed or otherwise documented anywhere.

Alpine Blue, parchment pearl interior, black top, console auto, 3.9 safe-T-track. Was ordered with HO stripes and red walls, white air scoops were added later, lots of other options. Would have been a stunner in 68. I have no history but who ever ordered it got the best, if it was up to me I would have added the hood mounted tacho. Bruce
