On “My Car Story” we're in Rosemont IL at the Muscle Car and Corvette Nationals on 11-19-21.
We’re looking at a 1967 Pontiac Firebird Convertible in Black Paint. The car features a 400 CI V8 “Ram Air” engine, and a 4 Speed manual transmission.
The car's Owner is Keith Gebhard. Keith’s had this car since 2007. Keith shares he was looking for a Pontiac with a 326 CI engine, however when he saw this car and realized how special it is, he had to have it. This car looks showroom new.

ENJOY! - ยานยนต์และพาหนะ
The best Firebirds were the first Firebirds, in my view, and this one is optioned out just perfectly. Way to go, Keith! Thanks Lou, this one is especially special, if that makes any sense : )
Happy to read you enjoy the 1st Firebirds :-) Lou
Totally agree, Bruce.
Beautiful car and extremely rare. The 326 was really not a performance motor. I think you would have gotten a 2 speed powerglide with that as an auto. A ram air 400 with 4 speed is a much more desireable car. Not to mention a much better performer. It is a beauty!
Very nice. Tuggin' at my heart strings. My mom bought a new '67 Firebird. 326ci auto. Gold w black interior. Thanks, Lou.
Hi Rudolph, Happy to read your Mom had a Firebird too :-) You're welcome, Lou
GREETINGS. From Venezuela, a COOLEST FIREBIRD CONVERTIBLE. Nice Black Paint with a Pearl White Interior, Mr. Lou, Thank you very much for showing us this GREAT CONVERTIBLE. ......................................................................................As always an EXCELLENT AUTOMOBILE VIDEO.
Greetings Alejandro, Happy to read you enjoy this "COOLEST" car :-) My pleasure sharing with you. You're welcome, Lou
Beautiful Firebird! Great car and super rare.
Love it!
Thanks Lou!
Hi Jeff, Happy to share this "rare Bird" with you :-) I appreciate all your support. You're welcome, Lou
Damn what an incredible Firebird !! It’s got everything going for it… perfect 👍🏼
Hi Richard, High praise for this "perfect" Firebird :-) Lou
Hi, Lou! The Firebird was part of the wave of Mustang followers to come out in 1967, along with the Camaro, the Cougar, and an all-new Barracuda. Seems these rare birds (and 'Birds) and one-of-a-kinds have a way of finding you to put on this program, and one you actually might have seen as a kid no less! And obviously, this one found Keith even as he had something a little less rare in mind! But this happened for a reason, and I think that was fate putting this black beauty in the hands of the right caretaker.
Many thanks to you and Keith for sharing this one with us! Another great and amazing episode in the books!
Hi iswc27, I agree, this Care Taker found the right car for him :-) You're welcome, Lou
In 1979, local cool guy "Kelly" drove his '67 Bird out on the ice of a frozen lake and a few minutes later it was headed to the bottom! No one was hurt. Memorable.
Hi Swilko Barfington III, Happy to read this car brings back memories of cool guy Kelly's car :-) Thank you for viewing and sharing, Lou

Wow, a great find for Keith! This how a restoration should be. 1 of 8 and only Black n White, NICE. He shoulda dropped the top for the show.
Hi Pat, Happy to read you enjoy this car :-) The top down is a good idea, Lou
Now that’s a tastefully appointed thoughtfully optioned car.

Hi motorTranz, Happy to read you enjoy the looks of this Firebird :-) Lou
Nice one. Those are meaner than the Camaro of the same year.
Hi LITTLE, Happy to read you enjoy this "Nice one" :-) Lou
I agree with Bruce H that the first three years of production were the best Firebirds. I never did warm up to the models made after 1981. The first ones were exciting!
Hi Dave, Happy to read you enjoy the looks of this car :-) Lou
WOW! Another great one! The car was very cool, too! Thanks again, Lou!
Hi JON, High praise :-) You're welcome, Lou
That was one of my favorite cars in high school band and find out that's a convertible what a gorgeous car
Hi Elliott, Happy to read this model was a favorite of yours :-) Lou
Great example of a classic muscle car. The Firebird lines to me are nicer then the Camaro of that 1st generation. Another great video Lou.

I always liked these cars, a guy I went to high school with in the 80s had a red 1969 Firebird with a 400 and the body and interior looked good but I would see that car broke down on the side of the road all over the place but it wasn't the cars fault it was owned by a 21 year old guy still in high school.

Beautiful and elegant chieftain👌
Happy to read you like the looks of this car :-)
You're picking great cars thumbs up
Happy to read you enjoy the selection of cars I pick Christopher :-)
I still have my 67 400
NICE !
Ram Air 400 engine, not a Ram Air IV. That was not available until 1969. Big difference. Also, not a "rockcrusher" M 22 4 speed trans. either. Just the facts.
Correct. Only 1969 and 1970 for RAIV.
You're right Rick J, it's a Ram Air 400, so I've updated the title.
Hey Lou, I didn't know you lived in Elmhurst. I grew up and lived there from '57-'85 and remember Davis Pontiac quite well, as my brother purchased a '73 Grand Prix from them.
Hey kimosabbe50, Yeah lived they for quite some time. Great town, Lou
@@loucostabile One more question, if I may: Do you have an older brother or relative (with the same last name) who had a fast Nova (Chevelle?) that ran around town circa 1971, by any chance?
Very nice restore. Wonder what condition it was when he started. 67's and 68's were my favorite, 69's too.
HI K B, Happy to read you enjoy the work on this car :-) Not sure what the condition it started in. Lou
Thanks so much Lou. They definitely do not make them like that anymore. This Pontiac is a car with character, compared to the brutal, safety infused, electronically governed souless modern car muscle of today...I'd take this gorgeous Pontiac in preference any day. 👍
Hi Mike, Happy to read you enjoy this Pontiac :-) My pleasure sharing this car with you. You're welcome, Lou
Nice 😀
Hi Michael, Happy to read you enjoy this "Nice" car :-) Lou
I Know where another one sits if the guy I grew up next door to still owns it!! His was dark green, Ram Air with the hood tach, AND if I remember correctly his was a four speed car, convertible too!!
Hi Greg, Sounds like the Guy you grew up next too has a pretty cool car. Thank you for sharing, Lou
chingon
:-)
ROCK CRUSHER? THATS AN M22 TRANSMISSION, NOT A SHIFTER.... IT WAS CALLED THE ROCK CRUSHER BECAUSE OF THE ANGLE CUT OF THE GEARS..
