Bench Seat Option 1st Gen Firebirds
Bench Seat Option 1st Gen Firebirds - anyone have any photos of one?
IIRC - have seen a few Camaro 1st gens with front bench seat and possibly a Firebird Sprint convertible w one. Do you have one and/photos of one w a bench seat? |

Would loved to have one of those in my 1st FB.
Girls didnt like the buckets w/a console. Especially at the drive in. Kept a regulator bed pillow in the back seat. And sleep'n bag for cooler nites

One of the PY members owns a VooDoo Green 68 RamAir II Bird with Black Bench Seat interior and a 4spd - as built.
Should be some good pics of it on here. Maybe "bench seat" or "strato bench" search in this section will find some of them. |

2nd and 4th might be more likely to hit the seat than Reverse.
unless i'm just not thinking enough about it. Main thing is to be sure you have the right shifter handle. Cammer is pretty dialed into early birds. Another PY member named Pete Serio - is a big time shifter guru. You could do a member search, and send him a Pvt Msg , for a second opinion / confirmation. The shifter handles (chrome stick) have 4 digit ID number on them most times. |

Thanks BVZ
This is what it looked like back in the early 80's, I have new deluxe parchment covers for it now. Having a hard time getting rid of the tilt wheel, column shift with the cruise,

i wouldn't want to lose those things either Jet.
you "could" remove the column shift handle - then grind down the nubs - and fill in / modify the opening thats left behind. as an option Cruise is ultra rare on early birds Guys are updating those older systems for clutch cars , with another kill switch on the clutch pedal , like the brake pedal uses. |

I'm missing a lot of the cruise parts ie. the parts on the intake, all I have left is the part on the inner fender and the speedo cables, wiring harness, gave up looking for the rest, but altering the column would keep the tilt option, I had planned on using the second gen column, a buddy of mine did that and you can't tell the diff

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.
