Opinion on 67 Firebird Cammer on Ebay
Looks like a fairly solid car, but I suspect it was originally a manual transmission 1bbl car. It has a Clifford 4bbl intake and vintage Clifford headers, and a recently installed carb.
Things that make me think it was not a Sprint are the Clifford parts, the strange Power steering pump bracket, the Alternator moved to the passenger side, no indash gauges. Things I find strange are the 1/2 clear steering wheel with the base interior, and multi leaf rear springs mounted with the original mono leaf spring brackets. The rigged carb return spring, and does it have a rear sway bar added in front of the rear axle? If not what are the newer clamps on the axle tubes for? Opinions? https://www.ebay.com/itm/33652332907...Bk9SR6iR_7utZw

I dont know enough to tell it's original sprint.
But I am always a little amazed to see Pontiacs selling with no PHS, it is so easy to get. Looks like a car that has seen plenty of shadetree wrenching, for sure. |

I agree with everything stated, looking at the pictures again it looks like it may have had shoulder harnesses installed at some point. I can't think of any other reason for the matching holes in the headliner near the coat hooks?

What year is your Sprint? This car should have PHS available as all 67's were built in Lordstown as far as I know.

My Sprint is a 68 and built in Van Nuys, but I have no idea if it's a real Sprint. When I requested PHS documentation, that was their reply. Nothing more. I was not aware of all Sprints being built at Lordstown. If that is accurate then my Sprint is not a real one. That's okay - it's an awesome clone then!

camerjeff said all 67's were built in Lordstown. If yours is a 68 that may be a different story. Have you searched for a build sheet? That would tell you how it was originally built.

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.
