Vehicle Description
1967 Pontiac Firebird 400 Convertible Factory Original 400ci engine
& 4spd Transmission This amazing Pontiac Firebird 400 Convertible
is one of a few classics that we have acquired from a very special
private collection. Each one of these classics could be considered
one of the best in existence and each has a special significance in
the classic car world. This Firebird 400 convertible is a MINT
condition car no matter where you look. It is easily a #1 condition
car that has been driven, not stored, throughout its life. The
mileage is accurate at just 61500 miles. The engine, transmission
and rear end is all Original to the car. The engine is the factory
WU code 400ci engine with 325hp and factory four speed
transmission. The Air Induction Hood was included with the WU code
engine package. The compression ratio is a powerful 10.75:1, the
highest available in a Pontiac that year and one of the highest
ever! Add the Safe-T-Trac rear end, 3.55 gear ratio and dual
exhaust, and you have one incredible and very rare machine. HERE IS
SOMETHING TO THINK ABOUT! There were 82,560 Firebirds produced for
its first year in 1967. Only 15,528 were convertibles and just 1220
had this engine option. We Do NOT know the number convertibles with
this engine option but if you take the percentage of convertibles
produced to the number of hardtops, that is less than 20%. If only
20% of the 1220 400ci engines made were convertibles, that would
mean that just 244 convertibles had this engine option. Lets add
one more thing to the mix! Of the 244 convertibles with this engine
option, how many were 4 speeds?? Ill bet there werent more than 100
produced. Now, how many still exist?? Well, try and find one!
...and in FLAWLESS condition such as this? We did do a bit of
speculating here but we cant be too far off if at all. If anything,
we may even be underestimating... and If you need one more factor
to add to the absolute rarity of this Bird, include the factory
hood tachometer. Keep in mind, nothing was added to this car. This
is exactly how it left the factory. This car is truely the best of
the best!! Other options include power steering, power front disc
brakes, power windows, center console, Rally II wheels, hood
mounted tachometer, folding rear seat (a rare option) and AM radio
which has been upgraded to a AM-FM stereo with the vintage look and
modern inner parts. Take a look at the photos. Every single thing
including the clock works perfectly. The car starts, drives and
stops flawlessly period. It is extremely powerful as well. There
are literally No Disappointments here! This car was featured in a
Muscle Car book called Firebird / Trans Am written by David
Newhardt in 2005. The book will come with the car. Documentation
includes a previous owners Nebraska title, PHS and the original
owners manual. This is a must have for any Pontiac collector or
enthusiast alike.
