Launched in 1967, the first generation Firebird featured distinctive 'coke bottle' styling. Unlike its cousin, the Chevrolet Camaro which was unveiled the same year and shared the same platform, the Pontiac's bumpers were integrated into the overall design. Hard and soft-top versions were offered and the model powered by various straight-six and V8 engines. The styling updates from 1967 to 1968 were limited to the front indicators being enlarged and wrapped round onto the wings, while the Pontiac 'arrowhead' logo was added to each rear flank and the quarterlights removed.

This left-hand drive 1968 Firebird is finished in White complemented by a Black power-operated hood and Black interior trim. The Pontiac has apparently been domiciled in Portugal for the last 27 years, though was UK registered by its sole UK private keeper as long ago as 1970. It is understood to be a 350 model and therefore powered by the optional 350ci (5.7-litre) V8 engine coupled to automatic transmission. 'ELH 65J' has recently come from a deceased estate and shows an unwarranted 94,872 miles to its odometer. A new V5C Registration Document has been applied for and we are informed that the Pontiac is in running order but would benefit from further recommissioning.

PLEASE NOTE: The vendor has applied for a new V5C and this will be forwarded to the successful purchaser.

PLEASE NOTE: The vendor assures us that he has had the engine running recently, however we have been unable to start the vehicle due to what we believe to be an imobiliser issue.
