How About a 1969 Pontiac Firebird That Costs Less Than a New Base Chevy Malibu?
General Motors is no longer paying that much attention to traditional passenger cars. However, it's not alone. Most automotive giants have started being more interested in crossovers and SUVs rather than sedans, station wagons, minivans, coupes, and convertibles, as that's where the money is these days.
Therefore, some famous models from GM's past are never making a comeback to the automotive world and don't even dare dream about defunct brands, like Pontiac, for example, returning from the dead, as that won't happen.
This company signed several exciting vehicles over the decades, and we suspect you have a thing for the Firebird. After all, you're reading these lines, waiting to find out more details about this 1969 open-top muscle car that's searching for a new home on the second-hand market.
It is a first-gen copy that packs a V8 motor, as we wouldn't dedicate an entire story to a classic muscly ride that features a straight-six (unless there's something really cool about it). The 350 (5.7-liter) V8 is hooked up to a three-speed automatic transmission. The seller hasn't mentioned the output, but we're probably looking at 265 horsepower or so.
This 1969 Pontiac Firebird has been properly maintained over the decades. It's presented with shiny classic wheels, has multiple chrome appointments that contrast the red paint finish, and a rather dull (by today's standards) yet timeless interior with black vinyl seats, traditional gauges, a three-spoke steering wheel, and seating for four. However, four is definitely a crowd, especially on longer journeys.
According to the ad, which we will link in a few moments, this classic muscle car had 83,750 miles (134,783 km) on the odometer at the time of cataloging. That's certainly not much for such a ride, especially when reminded that it is 55 years old. By the looks of it, it has a lot of life left in it and will certainly be a great conversation starter with the neighbors, regardless of what they drive, as all it needs is a new name in the papers and some gasoline in the tank before it's ready to hit the road again.
But does it break the bank? Far from it, as this 1969 Pontiac Firebird was listed for $24,900 at the time of writing. If you must know, it costs less than a brand-new base Chevy Malibu, which starts at $25,100 for the latest and final model year, as it's going away for good. The ad for this classic muscle car is available on Garage Kept Motors here, next to a generous image gallery that shows the vehicle from every angle. Before clicking that link, tell us if you think it's a good deal or not and how much you would be willing to pay for such a model.
