1967 Firebird
The Pontiac Firebird was released five months after the Chevrolet Camaro. Pontiac was able to use that additional time to create a unique identity for the Firebird, despite having to use the Camaro chassis and some body panels. The Firebird's styled split front grille, beaked hood, and GTO-slitted taillights gave it a distinctly Pontiac
appearance. The Firebird offered a range of Pontiac engines. Initially, five different Firebirds were available.
-
230 cubic inch OHC six cylinder Engine with a single 1bbl carb, rated at 165 bhp.
-
230 I6 "Sprint" Version with a 4bbl carb rated at 215bhp.
-
326 V8 with a two barrel carb that was rated at 250 bhp.
-
326 V8 "H.O." (High Output) version fitted with a four barrel carb was rated at 285bhp.
-
400 V8 Engine was rated at 325 bhp, and was available with or without Ram Air
The Ram Air Engine included a hotter cam, stronger valve springs, and made use of the otherwise decrorative hood scoops. With no publicized power increase and a hefty $600 price tag, the Ram Air option was rarely ordered. All V8s came with a standard heavy-duty three speed manual transmission; a four speed manual and two and three speed automatic transmissions were optional. Performance axle ratios up to 4.33:1 were available as well as front disk brakes. Firebird prices were roughly $200 more than
comparable Camaros and the Camaro outsold it two to one. But Pontiac's pony car had arrived.
