An excellently preserved and presented 1967 Pontiac Firebird convertible is always exciting. But when this first-year icon is in an interesting color, and packs a 400ci punch from likely its original V8, then you're looking at true excellence in a beautiful package.Sure, we love '60s power machines in red and black, but here's a more sophisticated way to standout. This is an exceptional re-spray of the factory Montreux Blue. When the sunlight hits it, there's an amazing shine thanks to a modern clearcoat. And quite frankly, you know you want your droptop looking its best on a sunny day, because that's exactly what it was built for. But more than just a great color, these first-year Firebirds were instant classic thanks to the bold styling. It starts up front with the unique chrome bumper that gives the whole front end Pontiac's wide track look. Good bodywork on a California car surely helps make sure items like the crease that runs from nose to tail is crisply defined, and you recognize the faux vents in the quarter panels are a cool contrast that helps break up the otherwise smooth body. This one really is great right down to the details like the 400 callouts on the hood scoops, and the color matched Rally II wheels with PMD center caps. The black bucket seat interior is neatly done and carries an exceptional level of factory preservation. You paid a bit more for a Pontiac back in the day, so it's nice to see it now with welcomed extras like the wood appearance on the dash and the desirable center console with floor shift. There's even an upgrade to a more modern AM/FM radio with digital tuner and CD changer in the trunk, but purists will be happy to know a factory radio also comes with the sale. You have complete control from the driver's seat as you grab the factory three-spoke wheel that gives a clear view of the dual pod gauge layout. Best of all, this has power windows and a power folding top, so you never leave the driver's seat when you want to go from enclosed comfort to a wind-in-your-hair experience.Under the hood is well-presented 400 cubic-inch V8. The Pontiac turquoise block is nicely dressed with a bright air cleaner and valve covers, and this tidy setup is original to the car per the engine stamp and the PHS billing history. The V8 is a legend in Pontiac circles for being a terrific street machine, and it only gets better with a nice upgrade to an Edelbrock intake and four-barrel carburetor. But beyond just being powerful, this one is easy to drive wherever you want. The trusty TH400 three-speed automatic transmission is ready for performance motoring, or easy cruising. The same goes for the 10-bolt rear end running 3.08 gears. Plus, the power steering and power brakes are great anytime features. But no matter if you decide to take it easy, or really enjoy the big V8, the dual exhaust will make sure everyone knows you're driving a true American muscle icon.We have the maintenance records and Pontiac Historic Services (PHS) documentation to prove that this pretty droptop is also a cut-above factory original presentation. It's the perfect mix for those who want to drive powerful classics, and have a story to tell upon arrival. Since that's most of us, you should hurry and call today!
