On "My Car Story" we're in Suburbs of Phoenix AZ on 9-10-21.
We're looking at a 1967 Pontiac Convertible in Tyrol Blue Paint. The car features the factory 400 CI V8 engine.
The car's Owner is John Moll. John’s had this car since 1995. He shares was looking to buy a Muscle Car as he felt he missed that back in the 1960’s & 1970’s and found this car and it was exactly what he was hoping for.
ENJOY! - ยานยนต์และพาหนะ
Truly a clean & classic design! Mr. Moll has the perfect combo of style and performance in his '67. Great scenery, too. What a perfect time & place for a quick cruise. Thanks, Lou!
Hi TheGunfighter45acp, Happy to read you enjoy the style & performance of this car :-) Glad to take you along for this scenic cruise. You're welcome, Lou
Lou what beauty! I remember my dad taking me to the Pontiac dealer on a Sunday afternoon to sneak a peak through the service bay door at the "new" Firebird. It was hidden in there as they had just received it and Pontiac wasn't allowing them on the showroom floors in anticipation of the big splash! It was a very big deal! Fond memories... It was and still is a very cool car.
Hi Audie, Happy to read this car brings back memories of the trip to the Pontiac Dealer with your Dad :-) Glad to read you enjoy this "beauty!", Lou
The 1967 model year was the lightest year they were made, and also the only year to feature the front vent windows. The Firebird and the Camaro were both built on the same chassis. The 1968 eliminated the vent windows, added side marker lights, and the cars were slightly heavier than the previous year. This is a beautiful example featured.
Hi Michael, Happy to read you enjoy the looks of this car :-) Thank you for sharing your knowledge, Lou
The 1967 was 80 lbs lighter than the 1968. An odd marketing thing for 1967 Firebird 400 and 1967 Camaro 396 was the Firebird 400 was available with the standard 400 and the 400 Ram Air, but in 67 the 400 HO wasn't available in the Firebird. In the 1967 Camaro, the 325hp and 375hp 396 engines were available, but the 350hp 396 wasn't available in 67 Camaro. The 400 HO was available in the 67 GTO and the 350hp 396 was available in the 67 Chevelle. These restrictions were for 1967 only.
I can still remember when the Firebird was introduced. I was in 5th grade and already an absolute car nut. I liked the Firebird over the Camaro although I will admit in ‘69 they built the coolest Camaro.
Hi Dave, Happy to read this car brings back memories :-) Thank you for viewing and sharing, Lou
What a beautiful Firebird! Just love it!
Definitely a magical era for Pontiac (and the whole industry tbh) in terms of performance and design.
Thanks to John and Lou for bringing this to us!
Hi Jeff, Happy to read "Just love it!" :-) You're welcome, Lou
Hi, Lou! This first Firebird was introduced in February 1967, five months after the Camaro. It came in a choice of five engines. The standard Firebird came with the standard overhead cam six, which was engineered by John DeLorean and released for the 1966 model year. The Firebird Sprint carried a more potent version of the OHC six. Then there was the 326 V-8, the hotter version of which gave you a Firebird HO, and finally the 400. Besides the differences with the marker lights and turn signals, the 1968 versions deleted the vent windows. John's car looks fabulous in Tyrol Blue and it definitely compensates for him missing out on the muscle car era!
Many thanks to you and the King of the Road for another amazing car story and ride!
Hi iswc27, Thank you for sharing your knowledge and adding to the story. Glad to get you some blue smoke to match the color of this car :-) You're welcome, Lou
Always nice to see a local guy's car featured. I had a 67 Firebird convertible, same blue but blue custom interior with power top and fold down rear seat, however it was a 326 with 2-speed auto. I started high school in 1970 so I too missed the opportunity to be an "original owner" to one of these cars. Also had a 69 Firebird carousel red convertible with parchment interior. Currently own a 74 Trans Am buccaneer red with white deluxe interior. Pontiacs are still my favorite car. Thanks to Lou and the owner for another great car story
Hi Allen, Happy to read this car brings back memories of your Pontiac cars :-) Thank you for viewing, sharing, and you're welcome, Lou
My neighbor who used to do paint and body for Pontiac brought 1 of these home in 68.He threw the keys to my dad & off we went.Pretty quick in it's day & it was the 326 dohc motor.Classic Lou,miss the ponchos
Hi Richard, Happy to read this one brings back memories of the one you and your Dad drove :-) Lou
That deep knock was something to be attended to. Probably not a big deal but was hard to identify. This is one beautiful car in great shape. They would whip a GTO because they were lighter. A lot of street racers underestimated them until they got smoked!
Hi Craig, Seems the motor smoothed out as the car warmed up. Happy to read you enjoy the looks of this car :-) Lou
My boyfriend had a 68. Not this fast! Love the back end and the back seat. Boot so stylish. Listen to this engine! 400!!!

John's car and 'stache are real styling home runs! Gotta love that TH400 transmission banging out those second gear shifts! Thanks Lou!!!
Hi Brian SD, Happy to read this one is a home run....and John's stache too :-) You're welcome, Lou
The 400 firebird a true classic. As you have probably figured by now. I am a Pontiac guy. This is a great example of a 67.
Hi Greg, Happy to read you enjoy this "true classic" :-) Lou
Thank you John and Lou for the share.
You're welcome Chris :-)
Thanks Lou, for showing us this rare and beautiful car. I love the color. When I was in high school, one of my teachers bought a brand new red '67 Firebird 400 convertible. It raised his image in our minds. His previous car had also been a red Pontiac convertible, but it was a '61 LeMans with the four cylinder engine.
HI William, Happy to read this car brings back memories of your Teacher who moved up in the class :-) Thank you for viewing and sharing, Lou
Love it. Always a favorite back when I was growing up around cars. Looks like the Fontaine blue that was on our '65 Pontiac Lemans. Beautiful color. Lucky man he is.
Hi K B, Happy to read you "Love it" :-) Glad to read you enjoy this blue too, Lou
The Channel does indeed enjoy this blue car! Simple, clean lines, and checks all my boxes especially since this is a convertible! Thanks Lou & John for a warm morning winter treat!
Hi Rusty, Happy to read you and I like this blue car :-) You're welcome, Lou
I had a 1969 Firebird 400 stick in this color...Great machine. My buddy had a 1968 Firebird....Loved it... Wish they had been ragtops. Thanks Lou ! Happy Holidays !
Hi Rudy, Happy to read this car brings back memories of your car :-) Thank you for viewing, sharing, and you're welcome, Lou
Nothing like the original, first year design of an iconic nameplate, the first model year is usually the cleanest and best looking and I believe this holds true with the Firebird. And the 400 ci and convertible top too! And gorgeous blue on blue! I'm very happy for this gentleman and thanks to Lou and he for nice vid.
Hi Bruce H., Happy to read you enjoy this clean design :-) My pleasure sharing this one with you, and you're welcome, Lou
I have a 1967 Firebird 326 convertible in same color blue. I've owned it since 1971 - great car, lots of fun cruising with top down gets tons of looks each time I take it out. Love Pontiacs! Great video. Thanks for sharing this.

@@loucostabile Hi Lou and Thanks for your kinds words. I've kept the car in good condition all these years. It does need a new top, and carpet. Mechanically it's great and a good example of a first gen Firebird. My late father purchased the car in '71 from the local Ford dealership after the original owner traded it for a '72 Ford Torino (hardtop) ??? of all things. LOL. It's been part of the family since. Keep up the great work with the videos.
Gorgeous, timeless design. What a car!

Truly a bluetiful classic ride!
Nice :-)
A good friend in high school had one identical. Smoke shows often👍👍👍
Ahhh those fun smoke shows....good times!
John has an awesome Firebird. I especially loved the driving portion of the video. I felt like I was riding along! :-)
Hi James, Happy to read you enjoy this "awesome" Firebird :-) Glad you're along for the ride, Lou
GREETINGS. From Venezuela, That is a SUPER COOL FIREBIRD CONVERTIBLE, I do also like the Tyrol Blue Paint. Mr, Lou, Extra Thank you for Showing us a FANTASTIC CONVERTIBLE. Mr. Lou. Thanks for taking us along for the Accelerated Ride. EXCELLENT AUTOMOBILE VIDEO.
Greetings Alejandro, High praise for this car :-) You're welcome, Lou
Fabuloso este Pontiac Firebird convertible del 67. Ese color azul le queda fantástico. Además que estuvo espectacular esa quemada de llantas que hizo al acelerar al comienzo del vídeo, dejó una peculiar nube de humo, jaja. Saludos!
Hi Jaime, High praise :-) You're welcome, Lou
love it...the classic of all firebirds! thanx lou!
Hi Mouse, Happy to read you "love it" :-) You're welcome, Lou
Another great video Lou. You don't see as many Firebirds compared to Camaros at car shows. My Uncle had looked at the 67s when they first came out but ended up buying a 67 GTO 400 4 speed convertible instead.
Hi PlymouthDuster225, 67 GTO is a FUN choice :-) Lou
Nice ride. I have owned many muscle cars over the years, they were cheap and available in the early to mid 80's when I was in high school. But, my heart was always with the Firebirds. I have a 67' 400 4-speed option delete (0 options). It has 16,241 actual miles and sport the original Silverglaze lacquer paint. I'm the second owner (21 years) and the car has never been stored outside and never driven in poor weather since it was bought on June 17, 1967. It's an Ohio car with no rust. My tail panel is black- I think all 400 option firebirds came with a black tail panel but most were converted to body color when repainted. I love the fact that no matter how large the car show (think Goodguys) there are virtually no 67' very few 68's and not many 69 Birds but they are a well known and popular model.

I'm a Mopar guy, but I always get excited to see Pontiacs and Oldsmobiles. This version of the GM F-body has so much more style than the one from Chevrolet.
hi GLHS592, Happy to read you enjoy this car :-) Glad to read you appreciate the styling of this car, Lou
Another beauty brought to us by Lou. Thank you Lou. This was enjoyable to watch as I had some homemade pancakes this morning.
Hi Sabba_Dabba, Pancakes & Pontiac. NICE! You're welcome, Lou
@@loucostabile lol, "pancakes and Pontiac", like coffee and cars, could be a new thing
What a nice blue colour scheme, it matches up well with the top colour!
Happy to read you enjoy the colours on this car :-)
Hello to the Gilbert guy from STV. Beautiful Bird!!
:-)
Awesome Lou. How I miss the Pontiacs!
Hi William, Happy to read you enjoy this "awesome" car :-) Good news! Many of those Pontiacs you miss can be seen right here on this TH-cam Channel, Lou
Love the color and the 400, beauty and power.
Hi John, Happy to read you enjoy this car :-) Lou
I always thought the Firebird looked better than the Camaro, it had so much more style and character from nose to tail. This is a fine example, so pretty in blue and a drop top as a bonus!!! Very cool Firebird!!!
Hi Hobiemarty, Happy to read you enjoy the style and character of this car :-) My pleasure sharing this one with you, Lou
Wonderful car & great presentation as usual. Had a 67 HO convertible. Totaled it & bought a 68. Re-ignited some great memories. Thanks Lou!
Tymtravel 1911, the '67 Firebird HO had the 326 CID V8 engine. 1967 was the last year for that engine. '68 went to the 350 CID V8 engine or a 400 CID V8 engine.
@@sergeantmasson3669 I’ll defer to you. Thanks. Bought them both used. The 67 was a 400. Previous owner probably stuck the HO on. Didn’t matter to the tree I stupidly planted them on 3/26/72. Miss that one the most. Could have saved it if I knew then what I know now. $1450 at the dealer in ‘71 for a 4 year old 400 convertible seemed like a lot back then.
I had a 73 formula & 75 Trans Am.I was loving the firebird from the Rockford files.
Hi Tymtravel 1911, Happy to read you enjoy this car & presentation. Sorry to read the end result of your 67. Glad this one re-ignited great memories :-) Lou
A gorgeous underrated ponycar like the Cougars and Jevelins...
Hi Thomas, Happy to read you enjoy the looks of this car :-) Lou
Good looking Firebird Lou!
Glad you enjoy the looks of this Firebird THROTTLE POWER :-)
Beautiful car. Man that sounded like a rod knock.
Happy to read you enjoy the looks of this car. Seems that clears up as it warms up.
Thank god, a man that drives his car. You must have loved that old school ride, Lou. Not a Viper but still a fun ride. Thanks, Lou for finding a true muscle car lover.
Hi Rich, The ride (and smoke show) was FUN! My pleasure sharing this Muscle Car Lover and his car with you. You're welcome, Lou
Love that Pontiac nose and rims!!! Great car Lou.
Hi Dan, Happy to read the details you love on this car :-) Lou
All I'd say these were missing style wise was a little spoiler out back.
Lou, I did a full restoration on one of these cars as well but it's a 4-speed car. We found it in a Bar Harbor Maine garage. It was never registered and only did drag racing it's entire life with a 455 engine. Luckily, the previous owner still had the original 400 engine that was removed the day after the car was bought new. The car was/is dark green with a black interior with a black top. No A/C though. Today, the car is exactly as it was when new from the factory. The car has never seen snow and now only driven once in a while during warm weather months. Odd that this Firebird has a manual top. The one I restored, had a power top.
Hi Sergeant Masson, Happy to read this one brings back memories of the one you restored :-) Sounds like a great car, Lou
@@loucostabile Do you ever get to the northeast area? I should write a book about all the vehicles that my restoration facility restored over 25+ years. I personally own 8 classic/vintage high-performance Fords that I fully restored. 4 of them are very rare and one is a one-only car that Ford produced in 1970.
Thanks, interesting ** & informative comments: how many miles, & more on Restoration of Firebird? Interestingly, my Wife & I spent a perfect week in BAR HARBOR, FALL 1975…..etc! **Anyways, I was always into FIREBIRDS,FORMULA, TA.. “FINALLY” ordering my 1977 **TA SPECIAL ED/ **Hurst Hatch ( they leaked a lot)/ *loaded , in OCT 1976 (* before SMOKEY & Bamdit)& getting Special in March 1977(** whew, long lead build!)!!!! .. best Driving Car we ever had, etc.. the 6.6L(400 ci) 1977 engine was “way “down on Power: though easy to,build up….Unfortunately, my Restoration plans had to be cancelled ; sold to Salvage Yard for $100…..in 1995( 188,000 mi, bad rusted & in frame,etc)
If I could have only one muscle car, that would be the one.
Winner !
Hello Lou ! This car made me travel in time. Do you remember the Aurora HO tracks ? Well I remember several models that were absolutely beautiful, like this marvelous Pontiac. This is a dream car. Congratulations to his owner, I would love this Pontiac were mine, and thanks to you for those specials memories. It would be nice to see one of those Aurora raceway tracks with all that beautiful models of 60 s.
Hello Felipe, Yes, I remember the Aurora HO tracks. Happy to read this is s "dream car" for you :-) I agree, it would be fun to see a 1960's race track, Lou
Nothin better than a nice tight Pontiac ! Another good reveal Lou . Keep it up 👍!
Hi Eric, My pleasure sharing this car with you :-) Appreciate the encouragement, Lou
What an awesome treat! It does have a great blue metallic color, as well to it. Personally, i’ve always been a tremendous fan of the Pontiac’s first generation of Firebird models, especially during that particular time period. Although, i’ve never really been much of a convertible kind of guy, i really like this particular Firebird 67, mainly with it’s white vinyle top on. It does have a sporty look to it. Considering that this classic all time beauty has a 400 cubic inch motor under the hood, i can still recall, when General Motors use to built these cars, with a 350 standard engine, or even with a 396 optional.Thank! you so much, Lou! You’ve really surpassed yourself once again. Have yourself a Merry little Christmas and a very Happy New Year 2022. Johnny, Montréal, Canada 🇨🇦🎁🎅🙏👍💖😁
Hi Johnny, Happy to share this "treat" with you :-) Thank you for sharing the details you enjoy on this car. You're welcome. Merry Christmas & Happy New Year to you too, Lou
What a beautiful car incredible condition
High praise :-)
I've got a red 67 400 that I inherited from my grandparents. They bought it new in 67. Has a tach on the hood.
Hi dieselboy9996, Happy to read you have a cool car too! Cool that the car has been in your family since new, Lou
Similar to mine, Regimental Red 400 auto, power top.
My tach is sitting in a cardboard box, with me still psyching myself to bore a bloody great hole in the hood.
You could eat off that motor, impeccable, great video Lou Seasons Greetings
HI Will, Happy to read you enjoy cleanliness of this motor :-) Thank you for the kind words on this video. Seasons Greetings, Lou
I love that second gear rubber!!
Nice :-)
Beautiful 😍 Thanks Lou!

Beautiful car
Happy to read you enjoy the looks of this car :-)
Nice, I always loved first gen Firebirds. I'd venture to say that car is worth alot of money now.
Could have bought a '68 ht with a 400 in '77. Nice car. Little late night road test the owner had it skipping over the rough roads in our neighborhood.
$1400. Would have nearly drained my savings. Passed.
Heard less than a month later the rear end blew.
Happy Holidays to you and yours, Lou !!!
HI Glen, Happy to read you love the 1st Gen Firebirds :-) Happy Holidays, Lou
When I think “pony car” THIS is the car I see in my mind, not the Mustang! The most beautiful profile! These cars handled soooo well for their day, too.
Cheers, Lou
Hi Cherry Picker Guitars, High praise on the profile of this car :-) Cheers, Lou
Cherry Picker Guitars, Mustang is where the "pony car" label came from, though. I've always referred to Firebirds as "water chickens."
@@sergeantmasson3669 you're right ,stang was 641/2,didn't the GTO actually come out before that?I was 7 but can still remember the hoopla behind the Mustang,almost as much as the C8 Corvette.
@@richardmorris7063 Actually, the '64 Lemans had a GTO package option. GTO didn't become its own model until '65.
@@sergeantmasson3669 thanks, good to know.My first car was a 67 Mustang 2+2 fastback.Only had a 6 banger but looked good.
Beautiful car. That is opportunity knocking :)

And a plus that the top goes down too!!
Nice :-)
Thanks for that one Lou. It might not have been the early 2nd gen. T/A that ya missed out on at MCACN, but it was still not a bad substitute mate and as always another good video by you!

nice metallic blue. wonferdal!

This is one of my favorite cars of all time. My younger brother liked the Camaro. I never wanted the Trans-Am version, perhaps because it is too big? This is among the best vehicles you have shown,😇 and I do not mind that it's only a two-door!
Hi Jed, Happy to read this one is a favorite of yours AND you don't mind it's a 2 door! High praise! Lou
Hey big bro Lou! First off, your hyper JV baseball little bro wants to know-are you a White Sox fan or a Cubs fan? lol ;)
What a beautiful and classic Firebird-just so beautiful and bird-like and cool. Clean lines and so much character to that pointed hood. And that back seat? Ha! My floppy sneakers would fly off as my tubesocked stocking feet became airborne 'n kicked-so many chicks, so little time....:):) God bless you and John, big bro. Thanks Lou! :) JV Johnny
Hey JV Johnny, I haven't followed either Team for awhile as for the last 8 years totally dedicated to the cars. However I followed the Cubs in the 1970's & Sox in the 1980's. Also watched each Team when they made the playoffs / Championships. Happy to read you enjoy this car :-) Blessings receive. God bless you. You're welcome, Lou
Awwww thanks for being an awesome big brother from another mother here on TH-cam, Lou. So glad to hear you still have the baseball teams in your heart, even as you are bringing us these awesome and thorough car videos, man. Me? A NYC boy but always had the Milwaukee Brewers as my big bro baseball heroes when I was growing up in the 70's and 80's. Robin Yount was my # 1 hero and I tried to play like him (not so much lol!), but since I look like him and wear my tubesocks pulled up high like him I did quite well in the chick department lol! Gotta keep it JV, Lou ;). :) JV Johnny 😁⚾
Nice 😀

I had one just like that I bought it used when I was young buck about 21 or 22 years old from from my older science teacher it was the same thing as this car you're showing but it was not a convertible and I only paid $400 for it and it looked every bit as good as that except it didn't have the rally rims that had the hubcaps it was an automatic on the floor but it was the big block 400 but the hood scoops and the vent windows that was one badass car amongst many others that I had that I didn't really realize what I had when I had them if I have them all back now sitting all in my backyard I probably be a millionaire anyways nice car

Such a beautiful FIreBird. The real birds!! What was that awful ratlle when the engine was running with the hood up? It almost sounded like knocking, but i guess not.
Hi redeye2020, Happy to read you enjoy the looks of this car :-) Not sure what the rattle is, however seems to go away when it warmed up. Lou
Did that baby burn rubber through 1st and 2nd ??.....WOW.
Just the way we like it :-)

Thank you Frank :-)
Wow, didn't like that knock on startup....better check his crank pulley...nice car tho.
Hi John, Seems it smoothed out as it warmed up, Lou
Can it get any better.

looks like my Big sister Kelly's Car I think she had a 1968, fire bird . My question what is the Matter with the convertible top No electric switch or is it broke .? I still love the car
Hi Charlie, Happy to read this car brings back memories of your Sister Kelly's car :-) Thank you for viewing and sharing, Lou
Hmmm, not aware of any issues with the top.
I wonder if the Hood Tach was an option in 67?
I would think so. Maybe a Viewer with knowledge can share.
Yes it was an option and was the “tall” variety, ‘68s tach were a little more squat.
That engine rattle sounded bad. Did the owner say what it was?
Hi Kyle, Seems it smoothed out as it warmed up, Lou
@@loucostabile Engine knock?
And the other difference 1967 had the vent windows 6th did not
