Vehicle Description
Looking for a truly distinctive open-air classic? This first
generation '67 Pontiac Firebird Convertible is far more seldom seen
than its muscle car counterparts, and it's running strong to
provide that unmatchable feeling of being behind the wheel of a
true convertible icon with just the blue sky above you. Its solid,
road-ready status means there's nothing keeping you from getting
this classic out on the road just as soon as you get it home, and
with some refinements, it can be returned to its former glory.
This Pontiac model has such a memorable look that just the mere
mention of its name will conjure its image up right way, but GM had
originally bestowed the "Firebird" moniker on a couple of its
concept cars from the late '50s - one of which bore a striking
resemblance to the Batmobile featured on television in the mid-60s.
While this '67 is noticeably more refined than that TV icon, it's a
very appealing classic, with its distinctive front end wearing a
prominent stretch of chrome separating its grille into two halves -
a styling cue that really sets it apart visually from its rivals of
the era. It's still clad in the same green color it debuted with
and it's also likely the original paint, so while the shade looks
great in this setting, a trip to the paint booth for some
freshening up will really elevate its authentically stock
appearance. Should the skies darken while you're out on the road, a
white vinyl convertible top stands by to protect you from inclement
weather and it raises into position smoothly.
The black vinyl interior also remains in almost entirely original
configuration and proudly wears the same survivor status as what's
on display outside the doors. As a result, you'll see evidence of
the passing years on the surfaces of the seating and maybe some
other areas of the cockpit, but this driving environment is ready
to serve in its present state and does offer some definite
positives - all components are in place and the dash pad has
already been replaced, for starters. Peer through the steering
wheel and you'll see that the factory-issue gauges in the
instrument cluster are still surprisingly clear and readable -
especially for a convertible, where the interior receives more UV
exposure - and they're still functional while being joined by a duo
of aftermarket displays just below. Raise the deck lid and you'll
find a full size spare inside the trunk and a solid rubber seal in
place to keep the elements out.
The period correct 326 cubic inch V8 standing by in the engine
compartment is really running strong. It's been further enhanced by
an aftermarket 4-barrel carb and upgraded intake manifold and it
exhales into a pair of headers to minimize backpressure, sending a
nice, deep note out into its dual exhaust. The motor pairs with
3-speed automatic transmission that shifts with convincing firmness
to make for a drivetrain you can be confident in hitting the road
with, and when you do, the featured power steering will make those
future miles all the more enjoyable. This coveted cruiser rolls on
a set of 14" PMD wheels with chrome center caps that are wrapped
with Dextero tires that appear to have a good amount of tread
remaining.
