Vehicle to be offered for Auction sale WITHOUT RESERVE and SOLD to the highest bidder, January 16th-20th, 2013 at Russo and Steele's 13th Annual Scottsdale Arizona Auction. Please contact us for more information. The first generation Firebirds had a characteristic Coke bottle styling. Unlike its cousin, the Chevrolet Camaro, its bumpers were integrated into the design of the front end and its rear "slit" taillights were inspired by the Pontiac GTO. Both a two-door hardtop and a convertible were offered through the 1969 model year. Originally the car was a "consolation prize" for Pontiac, who had initially wished to produce a two-seat sports car of its own design, based on the original Banshee concept car. However, GM feared such a vehicle would directly compete with Chevrolet's Corvette, and the decision was made to give Pontiac a piece of the pony car market by having them share the F-body platform with Chevrolet. The base model Firebird came equipped with the OHC inline-6 and a single-barrel carburetor. The next model, the Sprint, had a four-barrel carburetor, developing 215 hp. Most buyers opted for one of the V8 engines: the 326 CID with a two-barrel carburetor producing 250 hp; the "H.O." (High Output) engine of the same displacement, but with a four-barrel carburetor and producing 285 hp; or the 400 CID from the GTO with 325 hp. A "Ram Air" option was also available in 1968, providing functional hood scoops, higher flow heads with stronger valve springs, and a different camshaft. Power for the Ram Air package was the same as the conventional 400 H.O., but the engine peaked at a higher RPM. The 230 CID engines were subsequently replaced by 250 CID ones, the first developing 175 hp using a single-barrel carburetor, and the other 215 hp with a four-barrel carburetor. Also for the 1968 model, the 326 CID engine was replaced by one with a displacement of 350 CID. Going all the way to the 400-cid V-8 demanded $274, but brought a distinctive twin-scoop hood, dual exhausts, extra-firm suspension, and redline wide-oval tires. "When it talks," ads claimed of the 400-cid V-8, "you listen." Topping the performance tree was the Ram 400, featuring functional hood scoops. Modestly motivated Firebirds were available with a two-speed automatic transmission. Three-speed Turbo Hydra-Matic was the choice with 400 V-8 power. An "H.O." version of the 350 CID with a revised cam was also offered starting in that year, developed 320 hp. Power output of the other engines was increased marginally. In 1969, a $725 optional handling package called the "Trans Am Performance and Appearance Package,", named after the Trans Am Series, which included a rear spoiler, was introduced. Of these first "Trans Ams," only 689 hardtops and eight convertibles were made. There was an additional Ram Air IV option for the 400 CID engine during that year, complementing the Ram Air III; these generated 345 and 335 hp respectively. The 350 "H.O." engine was revised again with a different cam and cylinder heads resulting in 330 hp. During 1969 a special 303 cu in engine was designed for SCCA road racing applications that was not available in production cars. Offered for auction is 1967 Pontiac Firebird coupe that has received a custom respray in black and has a beautiful restored black interior that has been finished to original specifications. It has the very rare Pontiac offered Rally sport wheels, and a full custom front accent grill light with spoiler.
