I drove a 1968 Firebird Sprint with a 6 cylinder Overhead Cam 4.1 Litre, with a 4 Barrel Rochester 'Quadrajet' carb, 3-speed HURST floor shifter, racing clutch.. ALL STOCK no mods.

This car was INCREDIBLY FAST with unreal acceleration off the line and would EAT V8's in the quarter mile, hence the 'SPRINT' banner.

The Pontiac OHC6 w/4BBL was a milestone in engine development as one of the early Overhead Cams. Underrated, to say the least.

The scariest ride I ever drove was a ‘68 Firebird 400. I don’t know what had been done to the engine but it would lift the front slightly off the ground hitting 2nd. On city streets I couldn’t go as fast as the car wanted to go.

At 17 I got a ticket in my brother’s ‘67 Camero - 117 in a 35 ;’}

Those Sprint Sixes are a pretty rare commodity these days. There was a nice looking ‘67 Tempest for sale up north here in Michigan, but some lug nut took the OHC six out and replaced it with a 350 chevy(??!) boat anchor. I thought it was sacrilegious.
