![]() ***NOTE: So far, no one from PMD, PHS or otherwise has come forward to comment on the Engine Production Log Totals. With only 5,127 350 HO engines produced, I’d say there probably are not too many originals left. Total 1969 Firebird Production was 87,011. This difference was related to the type of Transmission (M-31, M-38). & Auto) The Engine Log lists (2) types of “Auto” Trans applications…. ![]() There were 56,052 Standard 350 Firebird engines produced (Man. I have heard conflicting informatin.Ī: …The following is from Pontiac Engine Production Logs (1969 Firebird): The nice thing about this Firebird is that it can be driven as is, and enjoyed, while small improvements can slowly occur if that’s how the next owner wants to roll.I have a 1969 350 HO. The seller mentions that he has a new replacement carpet but what’s there presents nicely, it’s just a bit faded.Īnd, a new carpet isn’t the only new part included in the sale, there’s a long list of valuable inclusions, be sure to review the listing for the details. Interestingly, there’s no radio and the opening has been blocked off with the appropriate plate. The dash pad is cracked and the original tiller has been replaced with an aftermarket wooden piece, but the environment dovetails into this car’s exterior presentation. The interior of this Firebird shows well, it’s mostly in nice shape. A lot of mechanical parts have been replaced but we’re advised that the vacuum brake booster and gas tank, due to leaking, should be next on the list. That’s good to know but I wonder how it runs. The seller adds, “ This car sounds great with a nice, deep growl“. I’m not sure which one we’re looking at here but I have a suspicion that it’s the former that has been modified with an Edelbrock four-barrel carburetor, dual exhaust, and headers. Pontiac offered two 350 CI engines in ’69, the standard version, as used in the Firebird 350, was good for 265 gross HP, while the H.O. Under the hood is a 350 CI V8, married to, as mentioned earlier, to a four-speed manual gearbox. Here’s an idling video for your consideration, it’s unfortunately, not very informative. ![]() The paint has some peel going on and there is also some lower fender bubbling but all-in-all, this car shows as sound – at least via the included listing images. It was originally Verdoro Green and someone thought brown was a good replacement – to each their own I guess. This one appears OK, brown doesn’t really help the cause too much and it looks like it has had a run-in with some. And as a result, it’s not carrying a sky-high asking price. There is a BIN price of $15,000 too.Īnother attraction is the non-duded-up nature of this Firebird, as in it’s not a Trans Am (I know – really rare and extremely valuable in ’69) or a Firebird 400, it’s just a standard Firebird coupe with a V8 engine and a four-speed manual transmission. This ‘Bird is located in Aubrey, Texas and is available, here on eBay for a current bid of $11,500, with the reserve not yet met. Oh, and it’s also not a ’69 Camaro (OK Camaro fans, don’t get your knickers in a twist, the first-gen Camaros are still my favorite, but they dominate the GM pony car scene, ’69s in particular, so it’s nice to see a similar alternative). And the more that I think about it, that’s the way to go – you can have fun and enjoy it without the worry of some small bug-a-boo befalling your new $12K paint job. ![]() Perfect for some fun driving or for restoring“. The first thing that caught my attention about this 1969 Pontiac Firebird is the seller’s statement, “ This car is in “daily driver condition”.
