1967 Pontiac Firebird 400 Convertible
#'s Match YT engine never removed, albeit lightly detailed.
#'s correct TH-400 Transmission
Power Brakes, Power Steering, Power Top
This 1967 Firebird is just out of private collection and subsequestly up for sale. It is a correct code R-1 Regimental Red car with correct red interior. The interior is completely original in unrestored fantastic shape. The only cosmetic defect being a crack in the door panel which is pictured. The original AM radio and dash bezel is included in the auction, as well as the original parade boot. The steering wheel is free of cracks which is pretty rare on these deluxe wheels. All guages lights, horn, ect. work as they should.
The car was built the last week of June 1967 per the trim tag, the original YT motor was cast 2 weeks prior. The code on the trans is correct as well as the intake manifold. I have not checked the distributor, ect. The car appears to be largely unmolested, with the exception of a repaint in its original hue sometime around 1985, per prior owner. The prior owner kept the car garaged for the past 20 years using it sparingly to hop around town in the summer, which is evident by the owner verified 57,000 miles.
The front and rear subframes are in excellent rust free shape. The pinchwelt on the rocker panels is crisp with no evidence of rust between the inner/outer rocker where these cars commonly rust swell. It appears at the time the car was painted the rear quarter panels were changed, and they did a fine job. The trunk appears to be very solid and not pictured but included are the spare and jack. All 4 cocktail shakers are in place. The shock towers are original and appear to be rust free.
The paint is old, albeit looks perfect from 10 feet away, but as you get up close you can start to see some "crows feet" in places in the paint as well as touched up chips, ect. However, it is still great paint for a driver. The convertible top is BRAND new, and the car has freshly blasted and detailed rally II wheels with a new set of quality tires.
This car is not a "bondo bucket" or a body shop special. It is however, a nice original car holding excellent pedigree.
I am a advid Firebird collector and it is becoming increasingly difficult to find #'s matching 400 convertibles. The issue is this, if you start out with a "was a 400 car" or a "I put a 400 in it", your car will never be worth what a #'s matching car is worth. Truth be told the asking price on this car is higher than "some" of the other Firebirds for sale...but it is a real deal car, and not some doctored up clone.
The car fires right up and runs great with no unusual smoke or rattles, and drives great at 75mph down the highway. This is a very tight original car, and not some thrown together rattle box.
This is a great car you can enjoy "as-is" without putting any money into it. Sure, it is by no means perfect, but it is a very nice car with excellent provenance.
This car is for sale locally and this auction is subject to being ended at anytime. You are free to call me and discuss a "buy it now" price that I can add to the auction.
I have over 250+ positive feedback, however this is a new user ID for my business.

Wanted: 1967 Pontiac GTO for a special Father's Day
Thu, 07 Jun 2012Jim Sharp of Elkhorn, Wisconsin needs a red 1967 Pontiac GTO to make his dad's Father's Day, possibly his last one, something extra special.
Back in the '60s, Jim's dad, Ken, drove a cherry red 1967 GTO to California for a job. He met a girl, got married and decided his wife's 1965 Ford Mustang was more fuel efficient than the Goat and the GTO was sold. As the story almost always goes, Ken has had seller's regret ever since.
Jim always meant to find a 1967 GTO and, with his dad's help, restore it. But life got in the way, time slipped by and Ken was recently diagnosed with esophageal cancer and given about three months to live.
GM expands ignition switch recall to over 1.3 million cars amid climbing death toll
Tue, 25 Feb 2014
588,000 Saturn Sky, Saturn Ion, Pontiac Solstice and Chevy HHR models join the 778,000 cars already being recalled.
General Motors has announced a massive expansion of a 778,000-unit recall we told you about two weeks ago, doubling not only the total number of cars affected but expanding the recall beyond Chevrolet Cobalt and Pontiac G5 models previously mentioned. The recall originally centered around ignition switches that could slip out of the "run" position if jostled or if any weight was applied to the key in the cylinder.
Junkyard Gem: 1997 Pontiac Sunfire SE Convertible
Sun, Mar 5 2023For the entire 24-year production run of the GM J platform (best known for the Chevrolet Cavalier), the Pontiac Division offered new J-Body cars for sale in the United States. First there was the J2000, followed in quick succession by the 2000, 2000 Sunbird and Sunbird. The Sunbird stuck around until the Cavalier got a major redesign for the 1995 model year, at which point Pontiac changed the car's name to Sunfire. Today's Junkyard Gem is one of those early Sunfires, a top-of-the-line SE convertible with the optional big engine and manual transmission. The Sunfire was an extremely close sibling to the same-year Cavalier (by the late 1980s, all the other US-market GM divisions had dropped their J-cars, which meant no more Skyhawks, Cimarrons or Firenzas), quite difficult to distinguish from its near-twin at a glance. The base engine for the 1997 Sunfire convertible was the pushrod 2.2-liter straight-four that powered so many J-bodies of the 1990s. That engine produced just 120 gnashing, valve-floating horsepower, not much by late-1990s standards. For a mere 450 additional dollars, however, the 2.4-liter Twin Cam engine and its high-revving 150 horses could be had by '97 Sunfire buyers. That's what's in this car. This is one of the members of the Oldsmobile Quad 4 family, though some fanatics will yell at you if you apply that name to the versions that don't have big QUAD 4 lettering cast into the valve cover. This is the most powerful engine ever used in production Sunfires. For 1997, Pontiac offered a four-speed automatic transmission for no extra cost in the Sunfire convertible. Buyers of all other Sunfire models that year had to shell out either $550 or $810 ($1,026 or $1,511 in 2023 dollars) for a two-pedal rig. That means that the buyer of this car really wanted the five-speed manual transmission (or just hungered for the $810 credit offered in the fine print for takers of the manual). Plenty of free-breathing engine power, five-on-the-floor driving enjoyment and the open skies above. What a fun car! This one made it to nearly 180,000 miles. For this car with the Quad 4 under the hood and a clutch pedal on the floor, the MSRP was $18,539 (about $34,584 today). Its Cavalier LS convertible twin with the same engine/transmission setup cost $17,365 ($32,394 now). This car has a bunch of options, including the 15" Rally aluminum wheels, so the out-the-door price would have been higher. The last year for the Sunfire was 2005, same as the Cavalier.
