First Gen Firebird 1967 Hoodie

The first gen Firebird went on sale February 23, 1967 with five different engine options offered, each with slightly different trim levels. The highest performing model in 1967 was the Firebird 400 that came with a very respectable (for the time) 325 horsepower. Pontiac started out strong in the sales department that first year, and while total production of 82,560 was the lowest of any pony car that year (except the Plymouth Barracuda), it should be noted that sales didn’t begin until mid-season.
