I was always partial to the first generation Firebirds.

Almost identical to a first gen Camaro. Different grill, different tail lights, and some vents over the rear fender but a bad ass car none the less!

I always thought the Pontiac's had subtle touches that made them look a little cooler. The front end looked better. The rear quarter panel swept in and narrowed a little more. That being said, I had a Camaro from that era. My father had a Chevelle Super Sport that my mother wrecked when I was a kid.

I grew up driving a 1970 Pontiac Tempest that I sold because I didn't have the money or the space to restore and store it. Kick myself to this day.

Still, that first gen Camaro and the coke bottle design always makes me swoon. The subtle curves, the big grill, the stance. Gorgeous car. Cars today? They all look the same to me. Cars from the 70s, 60s, 50s and before were pieces of art.

Yeah man, the racks on those babes. Who needed girls with grills like that?

Especially now that Pontiac has gone the way of the Dodo bird!

I believe 67 to 69 Firebirds are more rare than a Camaro and thus harder to find and more valuable. So when I see one, I take notice.

The orange and black color scheme just looked mean.
