Footnotes

Introduced in 1967, the Pontiac Firebird was pony car developed by GM as a competitor for the Ford Mustang. The car proved successful for the brand, and had a total production run of 35 years between 1967 and 2002. This first generation 1968 car is a rare example that was supplied new to the UK in 1968. The vendor has owned the car over the last 10 years and has replaced the original 350 V8 engine with a rebuilt 455 7.5-litre example. It is believed to have been raced in the past and comes with a pair of period racing seats with harnesses. There are also holes in the carpet for the addition of a roll cage. Overall the car is solid, and the whole car has had sheet metal and mechanicals replaced where necessary (including a recent new radiator).
