The 1967 base model Firebird came equipped with the Pontiac 230 cu in (3.8 L) SOHC inline-six. However, GM feared this would cut into Chevrolet Corvette sales, and gave Pontiac a piece of the " pony car" market through sharing the F-body platform with Chevrolet. Originally, the car was a "consolation prize" for Pontiac, which had desired to produce a two-seat sports car based on its original Banshee concept car. Both a two-door hardtop and a convertible were offered through the 1969 model year. The Firebird's rear "slit" taillights were inspired by the 1966–1967 Pontiac GTO and Pontiac Grand Prix. Announcing a Pontiac styling trend, the Firebird's bumpers were integrated into the design of the front end, giving it a more streamlined look than the Camaro. The first generation Firebird had characteristic Coke bottle styling shared with its cousin, the Chevrolet Camaro. A walk-around can be seen below.See also: GM F platform § First Generation, 1967–1969 The car is sold with transferable New York registration, as the state does not issue titles for vehicles prior to 1972.

Power is sent to the rear wheels through a numbers-matching three-speed Muncie manual transmission and a 12-bolt axle with 3.55:1 gears.
Pontiac Historical Services identified the engine as numbers-matching despite a stamping number that differs from the VIN by two digits. The WT-code 400ci V8 features a dual-snorkel air cleaner, a four-barrel carburetor, chrome rocker covers, #12 cylinder heads, date-coded ignition wires, green-stripe ACDelco spark plugs, and a dual exhaust system with 22-degree angle-cut tailpipes. The seller states that the car has been driven fewer than 100 miles since completion. The five-digit odometer shows approximately 57k miles, with total mileage unknown. Rally instrumentation includes fuel level, voltage, temperature, and oil pressure gauges as well as a tachometer with an inset clock. The seller states that the accessories and lights function as intended. The interior features bucket seats upholstered in black vinyl, a Hurst shifter with a factory oversized knob, woodgrain dash trim, and a Delco AM radio. The car is equipped with unassisted front disc brakes. Painted 14″ Rally II wheels are mounted with BFGoodrich Radial T/A tires, which are said to have been installed recently. A finish imperfection is noted in the left quarter panel.
The seller states that a factory fiberglass hood and tail panel remain, while the valance panel was reportedly replaced with a new old-stock item.
The car was refinished in its factory Lucerne Blue using two-stage materials during a body-off restoration two years ago, and the condition of the paintwork is shown up close in the gallery below along with in-process photos of the refurbishment.
