Pontiac Firebird
The new Pontiac debuted in February of 1967, immediately becoming one of the top muscle cars in its class. Pontiac equipped the Firebird with many options and five engines – two inline sixes and three V8s. Buyers could get a coupe or a convertible, and there was a choice of automatic or manual transmissions (via Haynes).
Interestingly, the Pontiac had a bit higher price tag than the Camaro. It also had a few more options than Chevrolet. That put the Firebird a bit above the Camaro on the market. With first-year sales of 82,000 examples, it was less than the Mustang or Camaro. But it was still respectable compared to the Plymouth Barracuda or similar models. The Firebird stayed in production until 2003.
