1968 was the second year for the Pontiac Firebird, a car originally marketed to compete in the still fairly-new Pony car segment started by the insanely popular Ford Mustang.   All the American OEs jumped on the bandwagon, and Pontiac’s Firebird was intended to be a bit more upscale to compete with other luxury pony car entries like the Mercury Cougar.   The lesson here is that fast cars can look unassuming and still be potent performers! #PontiacFirebird #Firebird #MuscleCaroftheWeek SUBSCRIBE: https://goo.gl/RIkdDS http://www.v8tvshow.com - 314.783.8325 - http://www.v8speedshop.com FACEBOOK PAGE: https://www.facebook.com/V8TVshow/ SHOP FACEBOOK PAGE: https://www.facebook.com/V8SpeedShop/ http://www.musclecaroftheweek.com -
