Pontiac Firebird 326 CID V8 - $25,800 (North Carolina)

1967 Pontiac Firebird HO Convertible – 326 CID V8 / 200R4 Automatic A stunning piece of American muscle car history, this 1967 Pontiac Firebird HO (High Output) Convertible combines classic 1960s styling with modern drivability upgrades. Key Features: Engine: Originally equipped with the desirable 326 CID High Output V8, rated at 285 horsepower from the factory. The HO package included a 4-barrel carburetor, dual exhaust, and higher compression, delivering more performance than the base 326. Transmission (Upgraded): The original 4-speed manual transmission has been replaced with a more modern 200R4 automatic—a 4-speed overdrive transmission known for its smooth shifting and improved highway performance. This upgrade enhances fuel economy and drivability while maintaining muscle car character. Exterior: Finished in a classic 1960s color Regimental Red, . The convertible top is in excellent condition, providing top-down cruising comfort. Interior: Period-correct bucket seats, center console (if applicable), and classic Pontiac dash layout. Features may include Rally gauges, woodgrain trim, and an original or retrofitted stereo system. Wheels & Tires: Often found with Rally II wheels or period-correct aftermarket upgrades. The stance reflects its muscle car heritage—aggressive but clean. Braking & Suspension: Typically features front disc brakes (if upgraded) and performance suspension components for improved handling over stock. Special Notes: The 200R4 swap is a popular and smart choice, as it allows for a more relaxed cruising RPM at highway speeds thanks to its overdrive gear. It also handles the torque of the V8 well. The 1967 Firebird was the first year of production, making it historically significant. The HO 326 V8 adds collectible value over the standard engine. The convertible body style is less common and highly sought-after. The modern transmission upgrade makes it more practical and enjoyable for today’s roads without sacrificing vintage appeal.
