Vehicle Description
This 1967 Pontiac Firebird convertible is a true purple people
eater. With four-on-the-floor and a 455+ cubic-inch punch under its
pointed hood, it might look handsome, but its also one quick
droptop.
There's no sneaking around in a Firebird convertible painted Plum
Mist. This was on the factory color list in '67, but it's
exceptionally more striking than what they could do back then. It's
dripping with the kind of clearcoat shine that rivals chrome
bumpers and trim. And speaking of the brightwork, don't you just
love how the integrated pointed front bumper gives the '67 Firebird
a true beak-like appearance? A convertible that has been restored
but not modified means no deck lid spoiler or other add-ons, just a
clean F-body that looks like a million bucks. Of course this one
can still get a bit boisterous with cool factory elements like the
hood scoops, red side stripes, and Rally II wheels with PMD
(Pontiac Motor Division) center caps.
Underneath the new black folding roof is a black bucket seat
interior that has been nicely restored to appear like you're
driving out of the Pontiac showroom in 1967. It feels so authentic
right down to the heat/defrost control and factory AM radio in the
wood paneling dash. But what you'll really enjoy is the muscle car
feeling that comes from the deep black seats, door panels, and
carpeting. The three-spoke sports steering wheel with PMD horn cap
is a great looking piece, and the Hurst shifter sticking out of the
center console is just begging for your right hand.
When you open the hood, don't let the flash of the polished
components keep you from discovering this Pontiac's secret. These
first year Firebirds topped out at 400 cubic-inches. That was
plenty of power, but this one hides an upgrade that comes from
later in the muscle car wars. It's running an extremely desirable,
monster 455ci V8 borrowed from a '70s Pontiac. And it doesn't stop
there, because it also has been bored .30 over. That's a lot of
American muscle for you to command, and everyone knows it thanks to
the rumbling dual exhaust. Best of all, this Firebird give you
complete command over the sound and fury of the big V8 thanks to
the Super T-10 four-speed manual transmission. Add in the power
steering, front disc brakes, and modern BF Goodrich T/As at all
four corners, and this big motor ragtop is also a fine Sunday
driver.
This Pontiac's great original looks are backed up by the owner's
manual that's included with the sale. These first-year Firebirds
are a rarity, especially when so nicely restored. So yes, you do
need to hurry to grab this deal. Call today!!!
