Pontiac Firebird Specs, Engines & Dimensions (1967–1969) — First Generation
The first-generation Pontiac Firebird arrived as a sporty rear-drive car with a long hood and short deck, sold as a closed Coupe Hardtop or an open-air Cabrio for relaxed weekend driving.
Every Pontiac Firebird engine in this generation runs on gasoline and drives the rear wheels, so the real choice is character. A smaller unit like the 3.8 AT suits easy cruising, while bigger displacement such as the 5.3 AT pulls harder; the 4.1 MT adds manual shifting to the Coupe Hardtop.
