Pontiac lit the fuse on the pony car wars in 1967 with the Firebird-a machine born to battle Mustangs and Camaros with its own brand of street-savvy swagger. This first-year Firebird Convertible captures that original fire perfectly, its crisp white paint and black bucket-seat interior exuding pure Detroit cool. Top down or up, it's an instant flashback to the days when muscle was measured in cubic inches and chrome spoke louder than words.
Under the hood sits the dependable 326ci V8, now breathing easier with an Edelbrock aluminum intake and carburetor combo that dials up performance without killing driveability. Paired with the classic 2-speed Powerglide automatic, it delivers that smooth, old-school surge of torque that defined the golden age of cruising. Dual exhaust lets the Firebird's voice be heard-deep, throaty, and unfiltered.
Inside, the black vinyl bucket seats with center console and floor shifter wrap you in 1960s performance vibes. Power steering and power brakes make it a pleasure to handle, even in modern traffic, while the 14-inch Pontiac Rally wheels keep the stance right where it should be. A retro radio adds period-correct tunes to the mix, rounding out the car's driver-focused cockpit.
While the power convertible top could use some attention, this Firebird's spirit is fully intact-a rare survivor from the first year Pontiac's answer to the muscle car movement hit the streets. Few cars combine open-air freedom, factory-born style, and that unmistakable Pontiac attitude like this one.
This '67 Firebird is a time capsule from an era when style met horsepower in perfect proportion. Turn the key, drop it in gear, and you'll remember why the Firebird became an instant classic.
