Triple Blue '67 Firebird Sprint Convertible
The $40k ask seems like a stretch for an OHC6 car, but I would bet this one is a lot of fun on a twisty two lane road. The seller seems to suggest it has the 3-speed stick rather than the Muncie 4-speed.

Neat car. 67 Chevelle and Impala verts with a blue top had the top frame painted Nantucket blue. Did that also apply to Camaros? And Firebirds? This one's frame is black.

Agree, neat car. I don't really care for the prominent nose on the Firebirds, but otherwise, it is a very cool in that color combo.
Yes, it's a Ford 3 speed trans. It is cast iron and if it were a 4 speed it would be a Muncie. The Saginaw plant burned in that time frame and ran out of 3 speed transmissions. I had a '69 GTO with the Ford 3 speed. Does appear to be the HO Sprint...4 barrel intake with aftermarket Holley and dual exhaust. I agree the ask is rather strong for a 6 but as clean as it appears and in that color, he might get close. Personally, I'd be in the 25-28k range, but I'm cheap...:dunno: |
Wow never knew a few Poniacs had Ford 3 speeds in 'em.Thanks for the info!

For years I have wanted to put FI and a turbo on one of these. Bet I can get 500 pound/feet of torque and upwards of 350 hp out of it.
Would prefer a 68. Of course, I would need to sell something first. Too many to keep up with right now. |

Blue top frame. Second photo is a Survivor 1966 GTO Convertible in B,B,B. Also Blue top frame. I have heard of a Tan color top frame, but no evidence. I really don’t understand why they did this, just make them all Black. White convertible tops did not have White top frames, they were Black, weird. |

Shown below are the two 3 speed transmissions that were offered in a 1967 GTO, which I’m certain was also offered in the ‘67 Firebird. |
That blue top frame looks SOOO much better than black would. It just blends right in.
