1967 Pontiac Firebird

1967 Pontiac Firebird 400 Ram Air â?" First-Year V8 with Numbers-Correct Credentials Why This Car Is Special The 1967 Pontiac Firebird was introduced on February 23, 1967, as Pontiac's answer to the Ford Mustang and GM's own Chevrolet Camaro, which shared the same F-body platform. What made the Firebird distinct from the start was Pontiac's insistence on putting its own engineering stamp on the car â?" specifically, Pontiac-built engines rather than the small-block Chevrolet powerplants used in the Camaro. That decision gave the 1967 Firebird a character all its own. Pontiac offered the Firebird in five distinct versions for 1967, each defined by its engine. The top of that lineup was the Firebird 400, which came with Pontiac's 400 cubic inch V8 â?" the same family of engines that had powered the GTO.
