    For a survivor, that Firebird is in excellent condition! That is indeed a rare bird! Especially equipped with a 326 HO engine with manual 4-speed behind it! Like it's cousin the Camaro, the Firebird made it's debut in 1967. It was the lightest year both cars were made. The engine sounded healthy, and with it being a convertible makes this car even more special! I can't get over it not having any battle scars on the paint job, being a survivor. A real gem Lou!

    Cocktail shakers, oil filled to reduce vibration due to no roof structure, two up front also. Great video.

    At last, you've finally found someone who knows how to drive those cars of which you video.

    Always loved these. Old GF's parents had one, a gold colored hardtop with the floor-shifted two speed automatic, but it was beat by the time I saw it. I didn't even know that 326s came in Firebirds till I saw that car.

    Great Firebird ! I had a 1969 with a 400 and a 4 speed. This is the same H.O. 326 that was in my 1966 Le Mans Coupe. Great Bird ! Peppy little 326 it was ! Thanks for posting Lou !

    The 1967 Firebird marked the beginning of an era for Pontiac, featuring a distinctive Coke bottle styling that set it apart from its competitors. It was offered in five different models: the base Firebird, Firebird Sprint, Firebird 326, Firebird H.O. (High Output), and the Firebird 400.

    Another nice Survivor from Mr. DePaulo, and from his comments, it must be pretty rare, too. All the more fun to see you guys giving it a proper drive. Thanks, Lou!

    Hey big bro Lou! WHOOSH>>>>>>THWACK.....THWACK! Go my floppy sneakers after they are yanked off my tubesocked stocking Ponyboy Curtis-like (and KO'd) feet and land against one of those big beautiful trees there in Saratoga Springs lol 🤪😜🤣. You and my other big bro Davey got me with this one, Lou. I have a soft spot for Pontiacs and this Firebird is EPIC and classic and super cool. I love how it isn't a museum piece, she is driven and lived in. Just awesome to see you guys up there in NY State as the spring is blooming. All that's missing is my floppy sneaks barely hanging on 'n dangling from Davey's rearview mirror! Thanks big brother, JV Johnny ⚾😜

    These things were “throw away” back when I was in high school. It was the early 70’s and these were the type of vehicles that appealed to my generation who beat the heck out of them when they were already rusting out and becoming just worn out old vehicles on their own. What a shame.

    Love the 67 Firebird! My mom had one and I think that’s what kicked off my love for cars. Such a pretty car. Thanks for sharing Mr. Lou sir!

    That’s a beautiful 1st Gen Firebird!!! I love it 🙂 My uncle bought one new in 1967 at Delta Pontiac in Stockton, CA. He still has it today.

    I had a 326 67 Firebird with a 4 speed. I didn't have a console. I bought it from a friend of my sisters. I don't think it had an HO motor though. I had glass pak mufflers with the dual exhaust. I t was a hardtop in blue. Air shocks in the back with American Racing mags. Exhaust went up over the rear end and dumped behind the rear end. It very nice and fun. Sold it top go to college out of state (I'm from SoCal). That was big mistake. Sounded nice and drove well.

    ¡Se ve espectacular este Pontiac Firebird 1967 Convertible en rojo! Además, para ser sobreviviente está en excelentes condiciones. Su interior y tapizados en rojo combinan muy bien (mención especial, para la hermosa pieza de madera que recorre desde la radio hasta más atrás del embrague). Y pensar que este modelo es contemporáneo a su hermano mayor el Camaro (incluso ambos comparten componentes). El emblema del "Firebird" o "Ave de Fuego" es muy llamativo y deriva de un dios indio que simbolizan belleza, poder y juventud; es una buena descripción para este icónico automóvil. ¡Saludos cordiales, Lou!
