I am not much of a GM guy but love the unusual.

This one is cool.

I had a friend that had a Firebird with this running gear back in the day.

I am under the impression that the survival rate on these wasn't very good.

I love this thing. The Sprint 6 motor is cool! I would be a buyer but have no space....

I would love to have this car.  Sux with a manual trans. Doesn’t come any better.  Several years ago I saw a Pontiac Firebird with a dix and a three speed at a show.  Big crowd draw.  I congratulated the owner on keeping yhe original engine combo and having a unique car.

Obviously a typo,

he assuredly meant to call it a SIX CYLINDER, with a manual transmission

I always thought these were cool. In high school I first laid eyes one. I thought it was a good alternative to my Chevelle with a V8 that always was on E. If I remember they were 326ci with aluminum head or block?

I like this car...a lot. I would love to have another '67 Lemans or Tempest, in general, and the OHC six would be a real treat.

 

I think the Sprints were probably rare, but I used to see the "OHC" emblem on the fenders of a lot of mid to late 60's mid-sized Pontiacs when I was a little kid. More than a few, anyway. I was aware of what those cars were back then, but as a 10 year old in '68, "OHC" meant that it wasn't a V8, so I wasn't very impressed. 😄 Now I think it's cool.

I believe this car is sold. The Facebook ad is deleted. Moreover I called the seller last week and I had to leave a voice and my call was never returned.
