I am gathering detailed production numbers for a project I am working on. Might anyone have any Pontiac-published production numbers they may be able to email me?

Any specific year or engine size you're looking for?

Thanks guys. Looking for obscure production numbers that might not otherwise be included in typical reference guides.

Also, on an unrelated subject, is there an option that provides an email notification to new replies? I didn't see one.

Thanks, Banshee. I've got some production numbers. I'm just wondering if anyone has anything other than what's commonly known.

I noticed that on this page https://firstgenfirebird.org/firebird/1967/history.html the following information appears:

According to a note by engineer Ben Harrison, by the end of March over 33,000 Firebirds were sold, 77.8 percent had V-8 engines, 70.4 percent automatic transmissions, 29.1 percent dual exhausts, 16.7 percent air conditioning, 15.3 percent four-speed manual transmissions, 13.8 percent limited-slip differential, 7.4 percent equipped with front disc brakes, 4.2 percent with front bench seat, 3.8 percent with adjustable steering column, 2.5 percent with power windows, and 0.5 percent with cruise control. The production year ended in September '67.

Might anyone have a copy of this memo? Or any other memos like it for 1967 to 1969?

I don't have a copy, but the most interesting stat that jumps out at me is the 4.2 percent for bench seat.

After all, bench seat was standard, not buckets! I wonder how many 'pure stock' fgf's sold each year without a single 'option'?


I used to be indecisive. Now I'm not sure.
I feel like I am diagonally parked in a parallel universe.
