'68 #s 400/4-sp Firebird

[scuncio]

Neat car still wearing the factory issue hubcaps, but priced really high. Interesting to see a first-gen restored to mostly original condition when nearly all of them seem to have been fitted with Rally IIs and painted a more popular color. I'm guessing color code P was the same as Chevy's Seafrost Green...looks like it from the pics.

Would that H.O. stripe have been only on the 350ci cars?

Yes, the H.O. stripe was on the 350 cars in ‘68, and on the 326 cars in ‘67.

I like everything about that car... ‘cept the stripe.

I like that color! And yes, I do know that the GM divisions often shared color codes and just called them something else - i.e., Carousel Red / Hugger Orange...

Looks like the stripe was a recent addition.

I like it all but the console.
Stripe likely added to help disguise the repainted driver's door.

FWIW, The Rally stripe was an available option on all '68's but didn't include the H.O. designation (same stripe).

Correct ! Plus I’ve seen it on 400 HO Cars Phs and Firebird Ram Air II Car and ON Phs again

I don’t recall ever seeing a stripe without the H.O. Didn’t know that.

I'm not knowledgeable about Pontiac's - is that the Pontiac version of the "Caution Fan" sticker? :P

Can you still buy Uniroyal Tiger Paws? If not, plan on spending some money on new tires if you plan to drive it. Those are probably pretty old.
