69 Pontiac Firebird and GTO- Hot, Hotter ,Hottest

[turbo69bird]

So i checked on the ZM that I had seen that was from a 69 in the 80s and the owner confirmed it ended up being a 68 housing. So it in fact was NOT a 4.33 69 rear so we can take that out of the mix. It would have been a ZR stamping for 68
So all that leaves is some cars listed in early 70s for sale w 4.33 which could have easily been swapped in so. I’ll concede that there hasn’t been one known to exists yet .

But I still was pretty sure that that language ( & special order axle ) meant a 4.33 axle at least if it was on the PHS .
Which I’d agree is better to go with than the window sticker.. plus different things were done at different times of year . No idea what build date your car is.

I just thought we may be looking at a really super rare example in Matt’s car which would have been even more amazing.

First pics I’ve seen of the Polyglas WL radials. I didn’t care much for the tread design but they look great on the car!!

That’s really awesome do you have the radio delete plate?
People used to tell me they didn’t exist. I had one on my sprint 6 popper years ago and I sold that car took me 25 years to find another.

Yes, It is there. It has the correct matching pebble grain. I will try and get a photo of it soon and post it.
