Complete restoration guide for all 1967-1969 Fire models. Loaded with photos.

Learn how to repair and restore every facet of Pontiac's fabulous first-generation Firebirds with this hands-on restoration guide. The Firebird was Pontiac's entry into the 2+2 pony car market that was pioneered by Ford's Mustang in 1964. Because of its rapid development cycle, the Firebird was based on the same platform as Chevrolet's Camaro but was intended to have a slightly upscale market position to compete against Mercury's Mustang clone, the Cougar. While the Firebird and Camaro share many components, the Firebird debuted in February 1968 (five months after the Camaro), and Pontiac's stylists and engineers made good use of the extra time, instilling the Firebird with numerous upgrades and improvements compared to its Chevy sibling, including five Pontiac engine options, specific suspension tuning, and of course Firebird's unique front and rear treatments and interior accoutrements.
