The interior is just as nice, presented with black vinyl trim, a center console, bucket seats and woodgrain accenting on the control panel for a true '60s feel. The white exterior paint looks brilliant paired with chrome ornamentation on the wheel-wells and "gills" on the rear quarterpanels, especially so with the red "326" emblems showcased front and center on the hood. All that torque connects to the pavement through the use of a smooth-shifting 2-speed "Powerglide" automatic transmission, ensuring for seamless power delivery. V8 breathing through a 4-barrel carburetor, good for over 250 horsepower. This specific Firebird is equipped with a period-correct "YJ"-code 326 C.I. The slotted rear taillight design was inspired by other cars Pontiac had in production, namely the GTO and the Grand Prix, which shared the same taillight pattern. However, the Firebird's bumpers were integrated into the design of the front end, giving it a more streamlined look than the Camaro. The Firebird received trademark "coke-bottle" styling shared with its cousin, the Camaro. The 1967 model year was the very first for the Firebird, which was intended as an upscale Chevrolet Camaro, itself a response to the Ford Mustang. With that color combination accented with the red pinstriping on the 17-inch "PMD" wheels, this Firebird may just as well be dressed up in a suit and tie. What we've got on the lot here is one sharp bird! This 1967 Pontiac Firebird sure is a looker, with bright white paint and a matching black interior.
