Default Bird watching

Saw this very nice driver quality 68 Firebird 400 convertible over the weekend at the local row of takeout/dine-in eateries. Not sure if they’re all factory options but I noticed: 400 ci, Turbo 400, console, power windows, remote mirror, air conditioning, cruise control, tilt wheel, fold down rear seat, hood tach, rally gauges (oil pressure and water temp), power antenna, custom sport wheel, deluxe interior, and the seldom seen can holder. I was actually driving my 69 GTO with my daughter for sandwiches at Jersey Mikes but we parked farther away. Would have been cool to park next to it. We lingered for a little while looking it over but no sign of the owner.

It’s hard to tell but it appears that the car has a light blue top. Is that correct? I own a similar 1967 400 Firebird that is light blue, Montuex Blue, with a light blue top and a black interior. It’s a pretty rare color combination. That is a well optioned Firebird.

Beautiful car, love the color and options. Also has headrests, power antenna is not correct, 67-68 had optional rear antenna mount option but still manual. In 69 they had a power rear antenna option. One year only and unique to the firebird (much shorter body than on mid or fullsized Pontiac's. Hood tach is an early repro.
