Some people have the pontiac triangle on the nose of their 67 bumper and some don't. Is it a sticker or a part of the metal on the bumer? I just bought a vintage Car & Driver mag with the 67 bird featured and it had the triangle on the bumper and I like it! Any info would be appreciated! Thanks.

I see you do alot of buying from year one well watch out they are expensive.
There catalogs are nice with alot of pictures but you can usually save some money buying from AMES PERF.
As far as I know all Firebirds have the Pontiac Arrowhead on the frt. bumper.

Only 400 cars have the arrow on the bumper. There are two holes in a 400 bumper that the emblem fastens to. You can drill the holes in a regular bumper and mount the emblem.

I know my bumper may very well have been replaced before I got the car in 1975, but my car was a '350' car and it has the arrowhead in the bumper. Just to throw that out there.

and since nobody answered the question re what its made out of , no its not metal, its a rubbery thingy...
personally I like the cleaner look of the no arrowhead, so I left it off the front bumper as I "cloned" mine to a 400 (WAS a 350)

I'm with you Bjorn, I like the clean look too, especially if it's not an original 400, which mine is far from it.

I think that the tri-power cars had the bumper emblem too.  Gotta tell this story one more time; Back in 1986 I bought a 69 350 car. Cloned it all out to a 400. Changed the hood, added every detail to make it a 400 car. Finally, it was all done in '88. I decided to get the PHS paperwork just for grins. The PHS build sheet said it was originally a 400 car! Goes to show that these cars go through a lot of 'changes' over the years. Some owners are very ambitious and can do just about anything to their car and sometimes the changes can be many.
