These appear to be the first V8 firebirds produced during the 1967 model year, but that does not necessarliy make them the first Firebirds produced as there were Sprint 6 models also produced at Lordstown, OH plant (VIN code U). Those would have a VIN like:
223677U600001, with a 6 in the first digit after the plant identification...

Hmmm, that's a good point! And you may have cleared up one thing for me.
On the firewall tags where the consecutive build number is, the first car has "SHOW1" and the second car has "SHOW4" I could never figure out why they skipped. Maybe SHOW2 and SHOW3 were 6 cylinder cars??? Consecutive Build Number: Located to the right of the Assembly Plant Code. It is the consecutive body build number and indicates the sequence the car came off the assembly line. This number will not match the actual sequential VIN number. |

Welcome to the forums! I also own a 67 Firebird. Looks like the early cars got the GTO steering wheel, as the standard Firebird wheel was a little different with plastic spokes with no brushed aluminum trim on the spokes? Have you ordered the documents from Pontiac Historical Services? They can often shed some light on details of the car.
They can be found here:http://www.phs-online.com/

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
