The convertible top has a minor hole that will be noted in the pictures and was replaced in the early 2000’s. The top is power operated with a push of a switch and moves up and down flawlessly. The paint has some scratches and chips as documented as possible in the pictures but still looks great.UndercarriageThe undercarriage has never been sprayed so nothing is hiding here and its garage kept life is evident.Additional improvements include; replaced all wearable items (all engine gaskets, front & rear Timken bearings, pitman arm, springs, bushings, double roller timing chain, oil pump, water pump, thermostat, PCV valve, plugs, wires, gaskets, belts, hoses, gas lines, spark plug wires, etc…). Upgraded the drum brakes to 4 wheel disc brakes, upgraded brake booster & master cylinder and all new stainless brake lines, new steering and suspension components (inner & outer tie rods, idler arm and center link, pitman arm adjustment, etc…), upgraded to an electronic distributor and ignition coil for reliable starting, new period correct Rally II wheels, and BF Goodrich radial tires.The throaty but not obnoxious Magna Flow dual exhaust provides the finishing touch to this original numbers matching survivor.DecodedTrim Tag = ST 68-2266768-22667 = 68 = 1968 2 = Pontiac 26 = Firebird 67 = Convertible Body Type 06C = Time build code. 06 = June C = 4th week of the month257 = Trim Number 257 = Gold InteriorPaint Code Q-8 = Q = Verdoro Green 8 = Custom Option Deluxe Gold Interior w/ Strato-Bucket Seats - Seats and seat backs are knit-vinyl fabric, while the bolsters are of expanded Morrokide.
