It’s also worth noting that there’s an Optima red-top battery in the trunk, and that the air conditioning system doesn’t work. The interior is no joke either, with blue leather racing seats, custom door panels, a Ridetech Tiger roll cage, Tremec shifter, push-button ignition, leather-wrapped MOMO Prototipo steering wheel, fire extinguisher, an Alpine CD stereo, Schroth Racing harnesses, plus roof and center stack-mounted switchgear for controlling various vehicle functions. This Firebird also comes with adjustable coilovers (all four corners), power steering, Quadra-Link rear suspension, tubular upper and lower control arms, plus a set of blue Baer brake calipers to match that blue stripe out back. Other visual highlights include the hood pins, LeMans-style fuel cap, and the black 18” Budnik X-Series Shock wheels with PMD center caps and Toyo Proxes 1 tires that measure 245/40 at the front and 295/35 at the rear. Never mind that custom blue stripe at the back – what really stands out is that modified front end, as well as the custom rear panel with round recessed taillights (personally I prefer the “slit” design). ![]() The first thing you might notice with this car is that the styling is a bit “off”, albeit not in a bad way. Of course, people tend to expect more from these classics nowadays, especially when dealing with restomods such as this 1967 Firebird coupe, currently up for grabs. Really good numbers by late 60s standards. ![]() In fact, these original models sold better than the second-generation car during the latter’s initial four-year run.Īnyway, those who bought early Firebirds could also enjoy high-performance engines like the 400 ci V8 unit with the Ram Air IV option, which produced 345 horsepower and 430 lb-ft of torque. At the rear, the first-gen Firebird had these cool “slit” taillights (like the GTO of that era), so it’s safe to say that Pontiac did as well as they could to make these cars stand out.
