Story

1967 Pontiac Firebird 400

The 1967 Pontiac Firebird 400 is the first-year Pontiac F-body performance anchor. Pontiac introduced the Firebird after the Camaro, but gave it its own identity with GTO-inspired tail lamps, integrated front bumper styling, Pontiac powertrains, and five marketed model paths instead of a single option-heavy Camaro clone.

The Firebird 400 model used a 400-cubic-inch Pontiac V8 with a four-barrel carburetor and a 325 horsepower rating. The Ram Air 400 path was separate: it used functional hood scoops and shifted the same rating to a higher rpm point in the sources reviewed for this page. That distinction matters because a dual-scoop hood or a "400" badge is not proof of Ram Air equipment, and neither is proof of the original engine in a restored car.

For buyers and restorers, the strongest Firebird 400 evidence is paperwork and component agreement: PHS/order documentation, engine code and casting/date evidence, transmission and axle markings, paint and trim codes, and period ownership records. The photos and video on this page show exact-year Firebird 400 context, but the captions keep those visuals separate from drivetrain proof.

Market Observations

  • High bid $22,000

    Oct 7, 2025 · Bring a Trailer

    Long-stored PHS-documented Firebird 400 coupe 223377U141262 with invoice-correlated 400 and factory three-speed manual. · survivor · project The high bid did not meet reserve and is not a sale. The archive documents 3F Firebird 400 trim-tag context, an engine-unit number matching the billing invoice, family ownership since 1985, decades-long storage, limited early paintwork, and a need for recommissioning before extended driving. Survivor and project labels preserve that context without implying untouched paint or road readiness.
