Pontiac's 3.8 liter SOHC inline-6 was a cool experiment into alternative powerplants and today it would feel quite contemporary. There's also a white power convertible top that's in good shape and the trunk is outfitted with its original mat and a space-saver spare with jack assembly. An AM/FM/cassette radio is in the center stack and you'll be surprised by how good the woodgrain looks, lending the Sprint an upscale feel. The carpets have probably been replaced at some point but the rest appears to be original and the dash hasn't been baked by the sun. The original gauges covered only the basics, so there's a modern Sun tach strapped to the steering column, and with the way the OHC 6 likes to rev, it's probably good to have. Bucket seats with pleated seat covers, a center console with a 4-speed shifter, and a sporty 3-spoke steering wheel make it feel quite sporting. Pontiac's Parchment interiors are some of the most attractive of the period, and the Sprint got all the same perks as its V8 brothers. And you'll probably always enjoy everyone noticing that "OHC6" emblem on the rockers, so you should get ready for the questions now. There are no signs of accident damage and this has never been a rusty car, so those kinds of worries are unfounded, and things like the traditional Pontiac split grille and unique Firebird emblems are in excellent shape. The Tyrol Blue paint is just the right shade, not too bright and not bland, and with a white accent stripe running down its flanks, this Sprint certainly looks the part of a fast, fun F-body. There are a few of the usual signs of age and use, but there's absolutely no reason to go chasing perfection with this car and instead just enjoy it as-is, because it has a lot of presence. It has probably been repainted once, and even though it was a while ago, it still looks quite good. It's been used as intended and that's what this Sprint loves most. This is a largely original car and it has that handsome survivor look that suggests care but not over-protection. There are no signs of accident damage and this has never been a rusty car, so those kinds of worries are unfounded, and things like the traditional Pontiac split grille and unique. ![]() ![]() Guess again, because this one is an absolute blast to drive. These 6-cylinder technology showcases are getting rarer by the day it seems simply because everyone thinks that eight cylinders are the only way to enjoy a pony car. If you looked at this 1967 Pontiac Firebird Sprint convertible and said, "Wow, that's perfect for a V8 transplant," please move along. VERY RARE OVERHEAD CAM 6 CYLINDER W/ 4 SPD! ORIGINAL, CLEAN & RUNS GREAT! DOC'D! ![]()
