Here are some more information for Firebird Steel:

During the 60s, while rock and roll was growing, many manufacturers of various backgrounds tried to break into the mirrored growing world of guitars. Their youthful attitude, high demand and simplicity in design made guitar manufacturing seem like a cakewalk. Not many of them, however, achieved the success that Fender did.

Whether it's the unique, crisp and electrifying sound they make or how smooth and luscious they feel in your grasp, there's no denying the legend that Fender Guitars are made of. Reliable strength, bright tone and attractive bodies are not all Fender has to offer, of course. Fender has a deep history in the music industry and will likely continue on for many long years. From hard rock to metal, jazz, thrash, punk and Reggae, Fender's got you covered.

Leonidas Fender

In 1938, a man named Leonidas Fender, spent most of his time as an electronics technician repairing radio equipment and PAs. His passion for instruments began at a young age so it has been no wonder to the public that Leo, as his friends call him, owned his own business so young and ventured into guitar manufacturing in the 1940s. This was after a brief stint with business partner Clayton Orr Kauffman, which produced the Hawaiian Steel Lap Guitar. This particular guitar was the first mass produced solid-body electric and gave Leo a taste of what his future could look like.

On his own and finally using the Fender name, Leo created a line of amps, the first of which was released in 1948 and called the Tweed Amp because of its hideous tweed fabric covering, though it's official name was The Champ. The effective piece of equipment was an instant hit for home-based players in need of standard equipment for learning and jamming. This, I believe, was a direct boost to the rock-and-roll-at-home era which has never ended.

The Fender Standard

There is little argument that Leonidas Fender had a direct affect on America's participation in the Rock and Roll movement of the sixties. Fender has made some of the most well known, best selling guitars on the market and knowing what's what in the world of Fender can make all the difference in play quality.

The American Standard Stratocaster

This baby is an American Classic even today! Hand rolled fingerboard edges, Alnico V pickups and staggered tuners are the basics but the more modern Strats also have the new bent-steel saddles in the bridge, a copper-style block for better resonance and the best finish yet to date!

The American Deluxe Stratocaster

This guitar is made of dreams with 22 Medium Jumbo Frets, a Fender DH1 Humbucking pickup, Samarium Cobalt Noiseless Strat pickup for the mid section and another Samarium Noiseless for the neck. This gorgeous guitar is also equipped with standard controls, a master volume with switch and two tone controls and pickup switching. And don't forget the Whammy Bar.

Special Edition Fenders

Besides the two Strats, Special Edition Fenders are also a great pick. From the Aerodyne Classic Strat equipped with a more modern body shape to the Jaguar HH which features Dragster Humbucker pickups and signature Jaguar controls, you're sure to find spectacular features that will wow you in the Special Edition Section.

Who Loves Their Fender to The End

Throughout the many years that Fender has been producing excellent guitars, amps and accessories, they have collected themselves a long list of supporters, fans and clients. Going all the way back to Jimi Hendrix and Eric Clapton and all the way forward to Sheryl Crow, Billy Joel Armstrong of GreenDay and Avril Lavigne, everyone loves their Fender.

1968 Firebird For Sale

First introduced for the 1967 model year, the Pontiac Firebird shared the F-body platform with the closely related Camaro that Chevrolet released the same year. Like the Camaro, the Pontiac Firebird's first generation spanned three years, the 1967 to 1969 models.

The 1967 Firebird rightfully gets a great deal of attention because it is the inaugural edition of the model. The 1969 Firebird receives a tremendous amount of fanfare because this was the year that Pontiac introduced the soon-to-be legendary Trans Am.

With all of that first-gen excitement, there's often little left over for that 1968 Firebird for sale at the middle of the vehicle generation. Not only does the 1968 compete with the other Firebirds for attention, it is also competing with the Camaros and Mustangs available those years.

Pontiac offered the 1968 Firebird for sale as either a convertible or a hardtop coupe, and both styles had five engine choices available to them. The standard engine that Pontiac included with the Firebird was the Standard Firebird OHC 230, a 230-cubic-inch one-barrel V6 motor that generated 175 horsepower.

The Firebird Sprint is a 230-cubic-inch four-barrel overhead-cam V6 that produces 215 horsepower. The Firebird 326 is a two-barrel V8 that offers 250 horsepower while the Firebird H.O. (High Output) 326 is a four-barrel V8 that hammers out 285 horsepower. The high performance option that Pontiac offered with the 1968 Firebird for sale was the Firebird 400, a four-barrel V8 that generates 325 horsepower, and was available with the Ram Air option.

The Firebird 400 Ram Air was 400-cubic-inch V8 motor that achieved 335 horsepower at 5300 rpm. This included a beefy valvetrain for 6000-rpm operation, a longer-duration cam, and a larger overlap. Pontiac recalibrated the Quadrajet carburetor to increase fuel flow. In addition, they made the twin hood scoops functional, and used them to duct air directly into the air cleaner. Mid-model-year, Pontiac replaced the 400 Ram Air with the 400 Ram Air II, which boosted horsepower to 340.

The 1968 Firebird for sale received a few updates to the initial '67 body. These changes include front turn lights with a wraparound style, removal of the passenger and driver side vent windows, Pontiac V-crest rear marker lights were added, and the Rally I rims were dropped as an option. Structurally, Pontiac replaced the single-leaf rear springs with multi-leaf units except on 6-cylinder models. In addition, they improved the suspension system with straddle-mounted shock absorbers, and a tire upgrade to Firestone F70 Wide Ovals on V8 models.

Pontiac made changes to the interior as well. These alterations included a larger, padded instrument panel, conical lenses and block lettering on the instrument panel, sun visors, flow-through ventilation system, lower dash adjustable round air outlets, and windshield pillar moldings. Creature comfort and safety additions included crushable armrests, lower door panel carpeting, push-button buckles, and an anti-theft ignition key warning buzzer. Other additions included stronger door hinges made of stamped steel, a larger fuse block that included eleven fuses, and a new bulkhead electrical connector.

A 1968 Firebird for sale today isn't exactly inexpensive, but it is relative to the other options of this period. If an enthusiast can find one that needs moderate to substantial work, it's a great jumping on point at approximately $5,000. Restored '68 Firebirds can range anywhere from $10,000 to $50,000, but are generally found at approximately $20,000.
