The Most Popular 1967 Pontiac Cars

1967 Pontiac GTO

1967 Pontiac GTO Convertible

The 1967 Pontiac GTO is one of the most beautiful muscle cars of all time. It is powered by a 400-cid enlargement of the 389-cid V-8 engine. Good news arrived in the form of a 400 cubic inch motor, a bored out version of the 389. The top of the line motor was the Ram Air (the brand name for cold air induction) 400 which had a lot in common with the XS motor option offered in 1966.

In the 1967 Pontiac GTO, the compression was unchanged, and the base version, with its four-barrel carburetor, again made 335 horsepower. But taking over the 360-horsepower slot from the discontinued tri-carburetor setup was a new single four-barrel High Output option.

The 1967 Pontiac GTO received minor styling changes, including new grille inserts and taillights. However, there were several important evolutionary changes under the skin. The General Motor raised its engine displacement limit for intermediates to 400 cu. in., and Pontiac responded by enlarging the 389 V8 to 400, raising base horsepower to 335.

Automatic transmission GTOs up until now haven’t been known as “stormers” but this is the year to change that. The secret is Turbo Hydra-Matic 3speed that can be optionally fitted with Hurst’s new dual-pattern shift quadrant.

The 1967 Pontiac GTO’s interior comforts are extensive. Bucket seats, center console-mounted Hurst shifter and Rally gauges and tach are any GTO fan’s basic requirement. Other features include power switches for the top and antenna and custom front and rear seat belts with front shoulder belts. In addition, power steering, power brakes, air conditioning, bucket seats/console and a hood-mounted tach were added.

1967 Pontiac Firebird

The 1967 Pontiac Firebird was released five months after the Chevrolet Camaro, and offered buyers choices of six and eight cylinder engines. Modestly motivated Firebirds were available with a two-speed automatic transmission. Three-speed Turbo Hydra-Matic was the choice with 400 V-8 power.

The 1967 Pontiac Firebird offered a range of Pontiac engines. Five different Firebirds were available, named after their respective engine choices. At the bottom was the lowly 230 cubic inch OHC six cylinder engine with a single 1bbl carb, rated at a measily 165 bhp. Stepping up to the “Sprint” version got the buyer a 230 I6 with a 4bbl carb rated at 215bhp.

Either six cylinder was linked to either a three or four speed manual or two-speed automatic transmission. Although the six cylinder engines were more powerful than Chevy’s offerings, most buyers wisely opted for one of the available V8 engines. At the bottom was Pontiac’s 326 V8 with a two barrel carb that was rated at 250 bhp. A special “H.O.” (High Output) version of the 326 V8 fitted with a four barrel carb was rated at 285bhp. At the top was the 400 V8 borrowed from the GTO.

Another features on the 1967 Pontiac Firebird are turbo 350 transmission with shift kit, custom leather steering wheel, rear trunk air deflector, new wheel opening moldings, new door and trunk rubber weather-stripping, new rear traction bars, 355 rear end with eaton posi-traction, all new black vinyl interior, and many more.
