Here is a chance to own a very rare PHS documented 1968 Firebird convertible with a rebuilt matching numbers 400 HO engine and the original 400 TH transmission that has also been rebuilt. This unique Fire bird came with 45 factory options which i would think is one of the heaviest optioned Firebirds available in 1968. Along with the PHS documentation i had Rocky Rotella who authored the book The Definitive Firebird and Trans Am Guide - 1967-1969 confirm that the car came with all 45 factory options. From what i understand only 10 Firebirds were made in 1968 with option number 571- Head Rests. The car was advertised on ebay as the Firebird that was given to Frank Sinatra by John Delorean who at the time worked for GM. The car was painted one of the four special paint colors that was offed in 1968 Pink Mist and given to Franks daughter Nancy. I do have a copy of a letter from John Delorean showing the vin# of this car and detailing his intentions to have one of his field managers send this car car to Frank. A number of Firebird enthusiast felt that this could have been her car but i am aware that unless i have a picture of Nancy Sinatra in her white made for walking boots standing next to me in front of the car it is hard for me to prove that this was hers. One fact that is true she did own a 1968 Firebird that was painted in Pink Mist. Since this car had the option 1 special paint code i could have repainted the car in Pink Mist and debated with everyone whether or not this really was Nancy Sinatra's car or paint it another special paint color that was offered at the time. As you can see i went with Windward blue. And to be honest i really didn't buy this car because of the possibility that it could have been owned by Nancy Sinatra but because it is a matching numbers 400 HO car that had a ridiculous amount of factory options. That in itself makes this car extremely unique and rare.

All of these are readily available from Ames Performance. You will notice that i did add the Ram Air set up. In the letter from John Delorean to his field manager he requests that the Ram Air be added to the car which on AC cars can only be done at the dealership. Since the car already had the open hood intakes and the holes were already there for the metal surround i decided to go ahead and add it. Now about the condition of the car. As i mentioned earlier the car was recently painted in Windward blue and looks great. The car has all new brake lines, fuel lines, all new brake components, new stainless steal exhaust, new fuel tank, master cylinder, power brake booster, new shocks and springs, and rebuilt carburetor that is original to the car. All the brake lines and fuel lines have been tagged as the would have been from the factory. The new gas tank has a signed inspection sticker on it, All the engine hoses are new and also have the correct factory stamping. The top and boot are new and the top works perfectly. Both top cylinders are new along with the hoses. All four power windows work perfectly. The Custom Parchment interior is new which includes the seat covers and side panels. All the body trim and badging are new. The AM/FM radio is original and it also works. The trunk and engine compartment are fully detailed.In addition the car sounds great, runs great and drives great. Although this car may have been or not the one owned by Nancy Sinatra but as Rocky Rotella mentions in his letter that he sent to me that a car ordered with this many factory options had to be going to someone of wealth or of great importance.I recently had a pre- purchase inspection done on the car that includes complete digital photos including the under carriage. The report also grades every aspect of the car on a scale of 1-5.Paint thickness is also measured. There are pictures of the engine, transmission, and the differential identification numbers that confirms that the car is numbers matching.. I also replaced the the wheels with the correct Rally II rims, trim rings, center caps and red stripes tires. I have seen the results of the inspection and it confirms how nice this car is and i will have it available to serious buyers only by Thursday of this week.
