Car Description
1969 Pontiac Firebird 400 2-door Hardtop Sport Coupe powered by a 6.6L 400cui V8 330hp GM Pontiac small block engine and driven by a THM400 3-spd console-shift automatic transmission.
The Firebird was designed by Pontiac as a pony car to compete with the Ford Mustang and Mercury Cougar, and it was introduced on February 23, 1967, simultaneous with GM’s Chevrolet division platform-sharing Camaro. The first generation Firebird had characteristic Coke bottle styling which it shared with its cousin, the Chevrolet Camaro. The Pontiac however had it’s own styling trend, with the Firebird’s bumpers being integrated into the design of the front end, giving it a more streamlined look than the Camaro. The Firebird’s rear “slit” taillights were inspired by the 1966–1967 Pontiac GTO.
Despite being overshadowed by it’s cousin, the Firebirds – especially the 400 variants – offered much of what a potential Camaro buyer desired, and in some areas considerably more but at a lower price than many comparable 350 and 396 powered Camaro’s. Pontiac’s 400 engine edged out the Chevrolet 396 in torque, while saving weight. The 330hp Pontiac 400 produced 430 lb.ft. of torque at 3,300 RPM, while the 325hp Chev 396 produced 410 lb.ft. at 3,200 RPM, despite the fact that the 400 and 396 were very similar in bore and stroke dimensions. The torque increase could be attributed to differences in induction, cylinder head & exhaust designs, and cam specs.
Overall this is a very nice example of the Firebird 400 model, presenting in a well kept condition. It shows older paint with a few scratches here & there; the frame, floors and body are solid and overall considered a rust free car in good condition. Mechanically it has a freshly rebuilt 400 engine and automatic transmission with shift kit, and the front suspension is very tight and steers & drives tight as well. This car is a blast to drive!
