1967 Firebird
Hello All,
I have a friend who recently purchased a 1968 Camaro RS, Boo! The good news is that he already had a 1967 Pontiac Firebird. Which he needs to get rid of. That is where I come into the picture. He's had this car for years. He tells me he thinks it's numbers matching. How do I find out? The car has a 326 v8 with auto powerglide transmission. It is in very nice condition. I drove it around for 40 + miles and it drove nice, other than the drum with no power brakes, in Los Angeles traffic, not that fun. What should I be looking for? What do you think it's worth? The interior is brand new, It looks nice on the outside no body damage or dents. no rust, it might need a paint job pretty soon , but over all very nice. I will try to post pictures as soon as I can. Any info would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Nacho ![]() |

Re: 1967 Firebird
Nacho,
There's a "partial VIN" stamped on the front of the block, just under the passenger's side cylinder head. There's also a two letter "code" there, identifying WHICH engine it is. Pontiac Historic Services (PHS) will provide you a "build sheet" for a nominal fee and the VIN. That will tell you everything the factory put in the car. The transmission is not a PowerGlide. It's called "Super Turbine 300", and the only similarity to PG is it's a 2-speed. For performance, it's a dog. TH350 bolts right in where it was. The value of these cars is pretty high, but nowhere near what a "400" car brings. I would guess in the $5-7K range. The best part is, ALL of the "good" Pontiac engines will bolt right in without modification. You can take the original stuff out and stash it. Build a "fun" one, and if the urge strikes you, you can put it all back "original" and sell it for max value. There are several disk-brake conversions for the 1st gen F-body. We like the Master Power system because it most closely resembles the factory Delco/Morraine system found on the '69 models. Bolts in, works GREAT! Jim |

Re: 1967 Firebird
Thank you all for your info.
I decided not to buy the 67 he wanted $9,000 for it. Most of my pontiac friends told me it was to much. It was nice test driving it for the weekend. Oh well, I still have my Trans Am to drive around in. (The wife said that I could buy that 67 but I would have to get rid of this baby.) Was it the right move? ![]() |
