I've been eyeballing this $20,000 '67 Firebird 400. I hope someone else buys it so I don't have too.

Wow at that half clear steering wheel being in good shape.
Very neat survivor overall.

Good catch. A beautiful stock steering wheel makes a stock interior so much nicer than those fat wood wheels. I'm in the minority and I know that, but FWIW I love me a stock steering wheel and this one is sweet. Stock black ball shifter is the jam and looks awesome. Those BB shift knobs fetch a lot on eBay.



You can kind of see the engine in this pic. Love the side wing windows.

I am also in the minority that prefers the stock steering wheels. I like the nice original 67 wheel in my FB. This is the best picture I have on my HD of it.

That's a sweet looking steering wheel and really sets off the all blue interior. I love the 67 - 71 Pontiacs with a different color interior. How many cars have you ever been in where every damn thing in the car is bright blue? It's awesome. My 70 GTO when I was 16 had a red interior (it's why I love them) and you'd seriously have to readjust your eyes when you stepped out of it.

What determined whether a 67 Bird got a solid color wheel or half-clear wheel ?

Good question. I wonder if it's a build date thing?

In addition to that clear rim steering wheel, it's also still wearing its original CA-only air pump. I didn't expect to see that, with those fat wheels on the back. Neat car.

I really like this one. Have you seen it in the flesh?
