The seller describes this 1969 Pontiac Firebird 350 as mostly original, and it is, down to its numbers-matching mechanical components. It presents exceptionally well and, with the engine and transmission freshly rebuilt, its performance matches its good looks. The only thing this classic appears to need is a new home. I must say a big thank you to Barn Finder Curvette for spotting the frisky Firebird listed here on eBay in Lufkin, Texas. The Pontiac could be yours for $31,000 with the option to make an offer.

Ford caught its opposition flat-footed when it released the Mustang in 1964. Often mistakenly considered the first pony car, Plymouth beat Ford to the market by two weeks with its Barracuda. However, the Mustang proved to be an irresistible sales force, and it took General Motors until 1967 to unveil its response. Chevrolet marketed the Camaro, with Pontiac bringing the Firebird to showrooms at roughly the same time. The First Generation Firebird remained on sale until 1969, with this Firebird 350 emerging during the final production year. The seller emphasizes its originality, indicating the rear spoiler as the only change. They provide the impression that it is a survivor, but the spotless state of the Palladium Silver paint suggests it may have undergone some form of restoration. There is no patchiness or matte areas, the panels are laser-straight, and there is no evidence of rust. The trim and glass look faultless, and the Firebird rolls on a spotless set of Rally II wheels, wrapped in period-correct Firestone Wide Oval tires.

The positive vibes exuded by this Firebird continue when we scrutinize its interior. Trimmed in Black vinyl, it features bucket seats, a console, an AM radio, and acres of faux woodgrain. As with the exterior, there is little inside this Firebird deserving criticism. The lack of carpet wear further strengthens my belief that the car has received at least a partial refresh. The vinyl looks excellent; the dash and pad are of a similar standard, and there is no deterioration of the woodgrain. It isn’t lavishly equipped, but this interior would gain recognition from knowledgeable enthusiasts for its unmolested state.

The seller provides no engine bay images, but this shot tells its own story. The first owner teamed a 350ci V8 with a two-speed Powerglide transmission for an effortless driving experience. The listing hints at power steering, but doesn’t mention brake assistance. The 350 was on this stand following a complete rebuild, but has since returned to its rightful place under the hood. The same is true for the Powerglide. The process included replacing the starter, alternator, and water pump, refurbishing the power steering pump, and rebuilding the original carburetor. The Firebird remains numbers-matching and is a turnkey proposition that the buyer could enjoy when they slip behind the wheel to drive it home.

The 1969 Pontiac Firebird 350 has suffered in the classic market during 2025, though the value decline hasn’t been catastrophic. However, the situation has stabilized since mid-year, which may be the first step in values returning to an upward trend. If that proves the case, now could be an ideal time to invest. Of course, there is always a financial risk, but most enthusiasts purchase a classic more for the ownership experience than the long-term investment potential. The seller’s price looks realistic, and their willingness to negotiate may improve the situation. Do you see the BIN as fair, or do you have another figure in mind?
