Why are first generation firebirds worth less than first generation camaros ?

Question

why are first generation firebirds worth and sale for about half of what 1st generation camaros sell for when they have the same chasis and in most cases look the same?

Answer 1

its not the similarities you should be looking at. the differences between them are what set them apart, in price and as cars.

Answer 2

because for some reason Chevy's have always been a lot more popular than Pontiac's have, i had a 68 firebird that was a great little muscle car and it would beat lot of Chevy,s but yet when i went to sell it ,i didn't get what i should have got for it,and it actually had nicer interior and was more sporty looking than the camaro was,there are a few of the older firebirds though that will bring some real good money ,some of the factory 4 speed cars with the 350 or the 400 was real fast cars and they sell really good,i know where one is at right now and the guy was offered forty grand for it and wont take it,but he bought it new and it only has about 50 thousand on it,some like that are still valuable,i think all of them should be considered valuable,they was as popular then as the camaro was,i know we sure used to have fun racing mine,good luck.

Answer 3

firebirds are g*y --- well g*y for a dude --- firebirds for women comaros for men.

Answer 4

No idea, I personally hate Camaros and love Firebirds. I don't see how a Firebird is a chick car. Ram air is the coolest factory technology aside from turbocharging.

The Firebird was also referred to as "the last of the big cube birds" because it was the last muscle car to lose it's big block engine and the associated horsepower that came with it. While cars like the Dodge Challenger had lost their 426 and 440s in 72 I believe the Firebird had the 454 till 76.
