Vehicle Description
Fresh from a restoration, this 1967 Pontiac Firebird convertible
features all the best classic elements you love, but now it has
bolder paint, a better suspension, and a more powerful V8
heart.
There's no sneaking around in a Firebird convertible painted Torch
Red. It's a bold package, which is what you want on a standout
droptop like this. It has a nice shine that complements the
first-gen Firebird's beak-like chrome nose, full-width spoiler, and
slotted trim that looks like a bird in flight. Good bodywork
underneath helps to impress, too, including the crisply defined
crease that runs along the full profile. There has been a lot of
recent care and investment that has gone into keeping this
convertible looking its muscle car best. And that's what owning a
first-year Firebird is all about. It gets the period-correct
aggression with the ram air hood and GTO-inspired taillights. And
the upgraded 17-inch Ridler wheels are a nice hint at the other
upgrades this droptop received during its restoration.
You paid a little bit more for a Pontiac back in the day, and the
difference can be seen inside where there's a delightfully upscale
black interior. It has a great texture on the vinyl bucket seats,
and there's a desirable center console up front. Like a good sports
car, the driver's focus is on the deep dual-pod gauges viewed
through the original-style three-spoke steering wheel. Plus,
there's a nice upgrade to an auxiliary readout trio to your side.
And this one really takes the time to look authentic on everything
from the AM/FM radio in the wood panel center stack, to the control
for the power convertible top.
Under the hood there are more great signs of restoration
investment. After all, this classic might be celebrating the
half-century make, but the freshness of all the components in the
engine bay look like they were installed yesterday! More than just
looking crisp and clean, this is one powerful machine. The 389
cubic-inch V8 was built with a Holley four-barrel carburetor,
Edelbrock intake, Proform distributor, aluminum valve covers, ARP
head bolts, and an aluminum radiator. It fires up readily, and
makes a terrific sound out of the Flowmaster dual exhaust. Plus,
you should take some time to check out the front suspension in the
undercarriage photos. With tubular A-arms, fresh bushings, and
front disc brakes, this is a terrific upgrade. Add in power
steering and the grip of modern performance tires, and you're
looking at a surefooted classic.
This droptop has been nicely invested in so you'll be happy to
drive it and even prouder to show it off. So yes, this is the kind
of attractive Firebird that won't stick around here long. Call
