Vehicle Description
1967 Pontiac Firebird Convertible
A powerful rival for Ford Mustang, the Pontiac Firebird saw
daylight in 1967 when the US company rolled out both the 2 door
coupe and the 2 door convertible. Even as it was based on the same
platform as the Chevrolet Camaro, the Firebirds were different both
in design and powertrain options. In 1969, a high performance and
visually enhanced version of the Firebird was released with 689
Trans Ams joining the 87,000 Firebirds on the assembly line.
For consignment, a 1967 Pontiac Firebird convertible with a title
verified 102,316 actual miles. It's a well documented, original car
with a brand new vinyl top, and service records going back to 1976.
15,528 convertible Firebirds were produced in 1967, while more than
four times as many coupes were made.
Exterior
One respray of Verdoro Green, this time in two stage quality,
covers this pony car and reaches all the way back to the rear
fascia to surround the slit style tail lights. Up front, this pre
Endura nose is all chrome surrounding the dual headlight like
spectacles and coming to the characteristic Pontiac beaked point in
the center. Long before the screaming chicken would appear, a bird
depicted in more Native American motif adorns the car, appearing on
both front fenders and the gas tank door in back. The black canvas
top is new and in excellent condition while the 14-inch Pontiac
Rally II wheels are ideal and wear PMD branded center caps and
215/70R14 tires. The brightwork on the car is in very nice shape
and so is the paint, with a few imperfections noted as a touched up
scratch and some areas of bubbling down low.
Interior
Our consignor states the interior is original and we've got no
reason to doubt that. Black vinyl and plastic form shapes and an
armrest under a black painted header and above a carpeted kick
panel and both doors are in nice shape. Slight patina appears on
the driver's bucket seat which is in otherwise great condition
along with the back bench and passenger bucket, also in black vinyl
with ribbed inserts. The rim of the three spoked steering wheel is
wrapped in an aftermarket vinyl cover and caps a column that houses
the indicator window and shifter. A 120 mph speedometer and fuel
gauge with idiot lights are the main dials ahead of us, while oil
and water gauges have been smartly added under the dash. The center
stack pops in color with faux woodgrain coverage and is home to a
typical vent control panel, an AM radio, and an ashtray.
Foreshadowing some wild rides, Pontiac supplies the passenger with
a handle above the glovebox to maintain vertical stability while
giggling with delight. Black loop carpet and Pontiac rubber mats
cover the floor, the headliner is in great shape, and the trunk is
clean and lined with a rough cut plaid mat.
Drivetrain
Clean, driver quality is how we find the 326ci V8 with a 2-barrel
carburetor and Powerglide 2-speed automatic transmission. Power is
sent to the 10 bolt axle in the back of course, and power drum
brakes occupy the front and rear.
Undercarriage
Driver quality here too with some surface rust, road dirt, and a
film of oil on the pan, but structurally sound and free of invasive
rust and grime. A single exhaust runs all the way to the back,
finds a stock style muffler, then exit discreetly behind the left
rear fender. Suspension consists of coil springs in the front and
mono leaf springs in the back.
Drive-Ability
This green bird takes off without much drama and delivers a smooth
ride, straight tracking, and very good braking during our trip
around the loop. We're riding top up today but long for warmer days
when this top can come down and the fun factor is increased
exponentially. That said, it's still darn fun. Other than wipers,
all other functions operate as intended. While Classic Auto Mall
represents that these functions were working at the time of our
test drive, we cannot guarantee these functions will be working at
the time of your purchase.
Nearly 90,000 units in 1967 don't make this car rare, but in 2025,
an unmolested version certainly is! We're talking single exhaust,
2-barrel carburetor, 2-speed automatic, an AM radio, and column
shifter. Wow! Call the Rare Bird Alert, because this is one we
don't see every day at Classic Auto Mall, or many other places.
There are a few things that are virtually guaranteed: death, taxes,
and vintage Firebirds flying out of the mall in short order. This
one will light a fire under someone's seat, so be sure to be quick
on the draw and call the mall in 3...2...
