About the Firebird:
The Pontiac Firebird is an American automobile that was built and
produced by Pontiac from the 1967 to 2002 model years. Designed as
a pony car to compete with the Ford Mustang, it was introduced on
February 23, 1967, five months after GM's Chevrolet division's
platform-sharing Camaro. This also coincided with the release of
the 1967 Mercury Cougar, Ford's upscale, platform-sharing version
of the Mustang.
The name "Firebird" was also previously used by GM for the General
Motors Firebird in the 1950s and early 1960s concept cars.
The first generation Firebird had characteristic Coke bottle
styling shared with its cousin, the Chevrolet Camaro. Announcing a
Pontiac styling trend, the Firebird's bumpers were integrated into
the design of the front end, giving it a more streamlined look than
the Camaro. The Firebird's rear "slit" taillights were inspired by
the 1966-1967 Pontiac GTO. Both a two-door hardtop and a
convertible were offered through the 1969 model year.
The 1967 base model Firebird came equipped with the Pontiac 230ci
SOHC inline-six, it was fitted with a one-barrel carburetor and
rated at 165HP. The "Sprint" model six came with a four-barrel
carburetor, developing 215HP. Most buyers opted for one of three
V8s: the 326ci with a two-barrel carburetor producing 250HP, the
four-barrel "HO" 326, producing 285HP or the 325HP 400ci from the
GTO. All 1967-1968 400 CI engines had throttle restrictors that
blocked the carburetors' secondaries from fully opening. A "Ram
Air" option was also available, providing functional hood scoops,
higher flow heads with stronger valve springs, and a hotter
camshaft. Power for the Ram Air package was the same as the
conventional 400 HO, but peaked at 5,200 rpm.
The 230ci engines were subsequently enlarged for 1968 to 250ci, the
base version developing an increased 175HP using a one-barrel
carburetor, and the high-output Sprint version the same 215HP with
a four-barrel carburetor. Also for the 1968 model, the 326ci engine
was replaced by the Pontiac 350ci V8, which actually displaced
354ci and produced 265HP with a two-barrel carburetor. An HO
version of the 350ci with a revised cam was also offered starting
in that year, which developed 320HP. Power output of the other
engines was increased marginally.
The styling difference from the 1967 to the 1968 model was the
addition of federally-mandated side marker lights: for the front of
the car, the turn signals were made larger and extended to wrap
around the front edges of the car, and on the rear, the Pontiac
(V-shaped) Arrowhead logo was added to each side. The front door
vent-windows were replaced with a single pane of glass and Astro
Ventilation, a fresh-air-inlet system. The 1969 model received a
major facelift with a new front-end design but unlike the GTO, it
did not have the Endura bumper. The instrument panel and steering
wheel were revised. The ignition switch was moved from the
dashboard to the steering column with the introduction of GM's new
locking ignition switch/steering wheel.
In March 1969, a US$1,083 optional handling package called the
"Trans Am performance and appearance package", UPC "WS4", named
after the Trans Am Series, was introduced. A total of 689 hardtops
and eight convertibles were made.
