1969 Pontiac Firebird Convertible " 400 V8 389 Dyno HP Carousel Red A/C Power Brakes Restored & Documented
Collectible Motorcar of Atlanta is proud to offer this gorgeous 1969 Pontiac Firebird Convertible, finished in its factory-correct Carousel Red (code 72) with a black power top and black interior. Upgraded with a strong Pontiac 400 V8 and backed by the original numbers-matching 400 automatic, this Firebird is a turn-key cruiser with show-car looks and the paperwork to back it up.
Drivetrain & Performance
Pontiac 400 cu. in. V8 (non-matching)
Dyno-tested at 389 horsepower
Original numbers-matching 400 automatic transmission
Original rear-end housing with all new gears
3.36 limited-slip rear " ideal street ratio
New rear axles
Polished ceramic-coated headers and dual exhaust
The VIN decodes as a 350 HO car originally, but the upgrade to a 400 V8 mirrors a factory option and gives the car the extra punch it deserves. The engine bay is extremely tidy with Pontiac blue block, chrome valve covers, and a color-matched Edelbrock triangular air cleaner. A chrome alternator and neatly routed wiring round out a very clean presentation.
Cooling, Electrical & Security
For reliable cruising in modern traffic, the Firebird features:
Auxiliary electric cooling fan mounted inside the radiator shroud
Fan wired into the A/C cycling switch, automatically coming on with the air conditioning
Adjustable fan temperature control on the driver-side core support
A discreet hidden kill switch is located under the dash behind the radio volume knob " a smart theft-deterrent on a car of this value.
Exterior
The body was repainted approximately seven years ago in correct Carousel Red, and it still shows with excellent gloss and depth. Body lines are straight with good gaps, and the black power convertible top is in great condition.
Exterior details include:
Dual-scoop performance hood
Quad headlamps with bright bezels and clean Pontiac grille
Shiny chrome front and rear bumpers
Correct "Firebird" fender script
5-spoke wheels with trim rings and caps
Cooper Cobra Radial G/T raised-white-letter tires
The stance is exactly what you want from a '69 Pontiac-aggressive but not radical, ready for cruising and car shows.
Interior
The black bucket-seat interior retains its classic Pontiac feel:
Bucket seats and matching rear bench in clean black vinyl
Center console with attractive woodgrain trim and automatic shifter with wood-look knob
Crack-free dash pad and original-style gauge cluster
Speedometer showing 25,086 miles (mileage exempt due to age)
Factory-style radio and controls in place
Matching door panels, rear panels and carpeting in very nice driver condition
Interior lighting in the lower panels and console area is functional, giving a warm, period-correct glow at night.
Comfort & Convenience
Vintage Air"style air conditioning with modern compressor
Power convertible top " easy open/close with a switch
Power brakes with large gold booster clearly visible under the hood
These upgrades make this Firebird a convertible you can actually enjoy in real-world conditions, not just trailer to shows.
Undercarriage & Structure
Underside photos show a solid, well-detailed chassis:
Clean front subframe and suspension components
Dual exhaust with crossover and neatly routed pipes
Solid floors and frame rails with no obvious patches
It presents as a restored, honest car meant to be driven, not merely displayed.
