The year is 1967 and in an undisclosed location, Pontiac’s first pony car, the Firebird, rose from the ashes of a volcano… actually for one reason or another that was the Camaro. That being said, a blue 1967 Firebird is ready to spreed its wings and take to the skies once again. Whoever originally purchased this knew they were purchasing a special machine since she has been optioned to the moon.

Instead of settling for the wimpy Sprint inline-6 or the high output 326, the original owner wanted this car to outrun everything on the road. He chose the screaming 325 horsepower 400 block. This is tied to a TH400 which runs to the optional 3.08 open rear end. The exterior is coated with a Tyrol Blue paint job and a black vinyl roof.

Those with a keen eye for first generation Firebirds may notice that the front valance and marker lights are from a ’68 not ’67. Originally this car wasn’t ordered with the Ram Air option but that was changed as a Dynacorn steel hood was added.

The Pontiac Firebird was introduced in 1967 along with its twin sister the Chevy Camaro as part of GM’s F-Body platform. The F-body platform was a Pony car project design by GM to take on the Ford Mustang, which had been dominating the market. With its trademark “go fast” coke bottle styling, high performance Pontiac Motors shared with the GTO and fiery personality the Firebird soon became one of the most popular cars in the US. This particular piece of American musclecar history was found on eBay for a mere $12,500, but there were no takers. What would this car be worth to you?

Hopefully soon, she will blaze down the highway once again. The musclecar lives.
