Any Ideas on how many Sprint convertibles were made in 1969? I have one with a 3spd stick?

Read the earlier posts of this thread...

213 69 ragtop Firebirds had the Sprint option with a manual trans. We don't seem to have a breakdown between 3 and 4 speeds for 69 but the 68 data shows about 75% 3 speed and 25% 4 speed so there were probably 160 3 speed sprint Firebird ragtops in 69 and 50 odd 4speeds.

No further breakdown known at time of recording. These notes are at least 10 years old.
Wonder how many 68 Convertibles got the base OHC?

Yes, Firebird.

Wouldn't be surprised if quite a few base model verts were made, but I doubt many are left. That engine will hardly get the car out of it's own way.
Mine's a 1 bbl, 3 speed manual, buckets, floor shift. Only option is it has a power top.
Color is Autumn Bronze, parchment interior with black carpet.
Which on certain option Firebird websites I can't even find the Parchment interior listed.

I just looked at my matrix from paperwork from the GM Heritage Center and I only have the more interesting engines tabulated so far. That's an issue of order rather than me hunting down specific info.

That being said, since Pontiac separated 6- and 8-cyl cars, I can give you a guesstimate in the meantime for some things since I have Sprint info tabulated:

1968 250-1 OHC ragtops
2367: around 1500 cars
2567: around 250 cars

This is not gospel!

Thanks.
While mine being a base model may not be overly valuable, I'd think an Autumn Bronze Parchment interior would be extremely rare.
70K mile survivor. I'd think most base models would have a V8 stuck in them at some point.
Although we are contemplating putting a '68 Sprint top end on it.
