You see it on the right. Our 400. Heavyweight of Pontiac's Magnificent Five Firebirds for 1968.
Along with its heavy-duty but newly obliging supension (asym-
|
metrically mounted multiple leaf rear springs and wide-ovals) there's a heavy-duty 3-speed with Hurst shifter. All standard. And augmented by a 330-hp, 400-cu.-in. V-8
|
with 430 ft.lbs. of torque and Quadrajet. Or you can select the new 335-hp H.O. engine, or a 335-hp Ram Air with functional scoops.
But don't think we'd surround
|
you with all that exuberance and neglect elegance. Any Firebird can be ordered with knitted (just like mom used to make) vinyl upholstery. And picture windows (no
|
side vents), carpeting, and simulated wood grain styling on dash are standard. And with every Firebird you get GM's many safety features. Like seat belts, safety armrests, and
|
side-mounted marker lights.
Now, any guess why we decided to call them the Magnificent Five - again?
