Outside of a Concours event I have never seen a shine quite like this
I didn't get a chance to talk to the owner but this is one gleaming '69 'Bird. ...
Clearly a well loved specimen 👌🏻🙌🏻👏🏻
And has the charm of its era, the shine enhancing it further 👍🏻
Available with both manual Borg-Warner . . .
. . . and automatic GM transmissions. The original engine would've been a Pontiac 400, possibly a Stage III or even Stage IV. A 454 would be a Chevy engine, though. Art
Actually more of a Dodge 'n Plymouth kinda guy . . .
. . . but Pontiacs were way cool back in the day, too. Same goes . . . . . . for Mercury. A '70 Cougar Eliminator would be second only to a '70 - '71 Plymouth 'Cuda in my ideal garage. ...
Cougar Eliminator . . . Hemi 'Cuda . . .
. . . Firebird Trans-Am . . . yeah, those were the days. 😌
My guess is: No that's not an original paint scheme.
But as the good Doctor pointed out above the 454 isn't original either. Goin' for Bad-Ass rather than historical accuracy?
It's a '69 Pontiac Firebird . . .
. . . and if the hood is original (which is likely) then it was originally either a 400 or 350 H O, judging by the hood scoops. As they say in East LA, "Mucho bitchin'!" 😀
