Pontiac Firebird 400 Convertible for 1969
Taken near one of our favorite doughnut places in the area. They’re a local chain in Arizona and I dare say that their doughnuts taste better and are fresher than the nationwide chain also in the area which seems to be more dependent on sales of drinks.
The arrowhead emblem on the center of the bumper signified a V8 engine. The base engine on these was a 4.1 L (250 cu. in.) inline 6 with SOHC valve train, quite unusual at that time for American cars. I seem to recall that the 6 engine was also available in a higher output version of which the model name was the Firebird ‘Sprint.’ That engine produced 230 hp which was at the same level as some contemporary 5 L V8s.
