Paul Wolfe graduated from college in 1968 and still has his graduation gift from his parents, namely a 1968 Pontiac Firebird.
Pontiac Firebirds were the upscale pony car cousins of the famous Chevrolet Camaro when both GM models debuted in 1967. Eventually the Firebirds built their own reputation in the pony car world and stepped out of the Camaro shadow.
Paul’s Firebird left the factory with a Pontiac-built 350 cubic inch small block, an engine not to be confused with the Chevy 350 small block in any way, shape or form. Paul’s Poncho 350 was equipped with a 2-barrel carb and hooked up to a Pontiac automatic transmission.
