1967 Pontiac Firebird

Ready to compete in the new and competitive Pony car market, Pontiac joined the action with a new Firebird in 1967. First released about 5 months after the Camaro the Firebird shared the same chassis and several body parts with the Camaro. The difference came with the distinct styling and engine options. With a split front grille, beaked hood, and GTO-slitted taillights the new firebird had a distinct Pontiac appearance and could be had with a V-6 or V-8 engine option. Actually there where 5 engines to choose from!
