1968 Pontiac Firebird 400 HO Hardtop Pontiac's legendary Ram Air engine lineage helped keep the brand on the front lines of the muscle car war, which increased in intensity every year after Pontiac triggered the conflict with the 1964 LeMans GTO. The first Ram Air package was offered in 1968 and was essentially the same as the previous year's 400 H.O. engine. Thx Hemmings.com For consignment, a 1968 Pontiac Firebird 400 HO hardtop showing 101,507 miles, but the true miles are unknown. Per our consignor, this is one of 684 1968 Firebirds with both the H.O. option and automatic transmission.                Exterior A chrome nose caps a body dressed in Aegean Blue with field marks that distinguish this car from other F-bodies of the time including ornamental trim marks that sandwich the midline on the rear quarter while Pontiac's arrowhead marker light appears just above the chrome end of the wrap-around bumper. In front, the early Firebird insignia, a design of Native American motif adorns the fender and reappears on the gas cap on back in a body colored fascia that houses dual slit tail lights on each side. As part of the H.O. package, dual hood scoops are up front while 14-inch Pontiac Rally II wheels carry redline tires for a well coordinated, period look. Overall the paint, black vinyl top, and brightwork are in nice condition. But no car is perfect of course, and we note gap issues on the hood with a chip on the seam, bubbling along the roof trim, touched up chips, scuffs, a door ding, and cracking paint on the rear apron. Interior Black molded plastic door panels are adorned with the Firebird motif and a simple pull bar and both are in very good condition. Vinyl bucket seats include textured inserts and present nicely along with the rear bench in same color and material. The sport steering wheel fronts the simple dash, home to two main gauges while decorative burlwood backs the center stack where we find the vent levers over the factory AM/FM radio and stand alone clock. That burlwood covers the center console where a T-shifter is housed in an indicator panel that would not change much for many years, familiar to F-body owners. Black loop carpet is on the floor, the headliner is high and tight, and the trunk is barren and clean, covered with a plaid mat and housing a covered spare.   Drivetrain The engine bay is show ready and clean, home to the numbers matching 400ci H.O. V8 rated at 335 horsepower and fueled by a 4-barrel carburetor. It is backed by a correct TH400 3-speed automatic transmission that routes power to the 10 bolt rear axle with 2.56 gears and Positraction.  Undercarriage Super clean underneath with a single drop of red fluid interrupting an otherwise dry underside. Dual exhaust utilized Pypes muffler after meeting at an X-junction, then terminating out of sight behind the rear fenders. Disc brakes are up front and drums in back and suspension consists of coil springs in front and leaf springs in back. Drive-Ability This clean and well sorted Firebird roars to life and propels us onto the test loop, providing plenty of power underfoot, straight tracking, and very good handling. It does everything well and we have no complaints as all functions on board operate as they should, and we return to the mall to perch this bird under the lights. While Classic Auto Mall represents that these functions were working at the time of our test drive, we cannot guarantee these functions will be working at the time of your purchase. We see fewer classic Firebirds than Camaros, and nice ones are almost assured to find a loving, new home. It would not surprise us if the car is not with us for very long and we're okay with that! The PHC documents that accompany the car shows the HO option and that makes this one a standout along with its show ready condition. 223378U151186 2-Pontiac 23-Firebird 37-2 Door Hardtop Sport Coupe 8-1968 U-Lordstown, OH Assy Plant
The 1968 Pontiac Firebird, the second year of Pontiac's highly successful pony car, built upon the solid foundation of its 1967 debut, refining its styling, enhancing its performance options, and solidifying its position as a desirable alternative to the Chevrolet Camaro. While sharing its unibody platform and many mechanical components with the Camaro, the Firebird always carved out its own distinct identity, emphasizing Pontiac's signature styling cues and performance-oriented ethos.
Styling and Design:
For 1968, the Firebird received subtle yet impactful exterior updates. The most noticeable change was a refined front-end treatment. The signature Pontiac split grille remained, but it was now framed by a more pronounced bumper that wrapped further around the sides. The headlights were still mounted within the grille openings, contributing to its aggressive yet elegant appearance.
The side profile saw minor revisions. The earlier side marker lights were replaced with integrated units that blended more smoothly into the fender line, complying with new federal safety regulations. The overall silhouette retained its muscular yet compact proportions, with a long hood and short deck.
Inside, the Firebird offered a driver-focused cockpit. The dashboard featured a clean, functional layout with clear instrumentation. Standard interior appointments were comfortable, and a range of optional upgrades allowed for further personalization, from upgraded seating materials to more deluxe trim packages. The coupe and convertible body styles were available, catering to different buyer preferences.
Powertrain Options and Performance:
The heart of the 1968 Firebird's appeal lay in its diverse range of engine options, a key differentiator from its Camaro sibling. Pontiac's commitment to V8 power was evident:
Sprint Six (250 cu in / 4.1 L Inline-6): While not a V8, the "Sprint" option for the inline-six engine was a notable performance upgrade. It featured a higher compression ratio, a larger carburetor, and a more aggressive camshaft, producing a respectable 175 horsepower. This offered a balance of economy and spirited performance.
350 HO (350 cu in / 5.7 L V8): The entry-level V8 was the 350 cubic inch engine. The "HO" (High Output) version was a significant step up, featuring a four-barrel carburetor and producing 290 horsepower. This engine provided a substantial boost in performance and was a popular choice for many buyers.
400 (400 cu in / 6.6 L V8): The legendary "400" engine was the undisputed king of the Firebird lineup. Available in various configurations, the standard 400 produced 330 horsepower with a four-barrel carburetor.
400 Ram Air: For the ultimate in muscle car performance, the Ram Air option was available. This included a special camshaft, a Ram Air induction system that drew cool air from scoops under the front bumper, and a higher-performance exhaust system, pushing horsepower figures to an impressive 335 horsepower. This option was a true performance statement.
Transmission choices included a standard three-speed manual, an optional four-speed manual, and Pontiac's Turbo Hydra-Matic automatic transmission.
Trim Levels and Packages:
Beyond the standard Firebird, Pontiac offered distinct packages that further defined the car's character:
Firebird 350: This package specifically denoted the presence of the 350 HO V8 engine.
Firebird 400: As the name suggests, this package came standard with the 400 V8 engine. It often included suspension upgrades and styling enhancements like unique hood scoops and badging.
Firebird 400 Ram Air: This was the top-tier performance package, featuring the Ram Air 400 engine and all the associated performance enhancements.
Significance and Legacy:
The 1968 Pontiac Firebird continued to be a strong contender in the competitive pony car market. It appealed to buyers who appreciated Pontiac's distinctive styling, the availability of potent V8 engines, and a slightly more upscale feel than some of its rivals. The inclusion of the potent 400 cubic inch V8, especially in Ram Air form, cemented its status as a genuine muscle car. The 1968 model year represents a significant step in the evolution of the Firebird, refining its already appealing package and setting the stage for future performance iterations. It remains a sought-after classic for collectors and enthusiasts who appreciate its blend of style, power, and Pontiac heritage.
