@Honkystepp The OHC "Sprint Six" was a pet project of John Delorean, who wanted a high-revving OHC six to compete with foreign sports cars. It was an interesting engine, but most Americans at the time opted for V-8s as they were cheap. And a lot were yanked by hot-rodders in the 1970's and replaced with 350 chevies. This sprint six is a very rare bird, really, and while not as powerful as the V-8s, was lighter in weight. V-8 Firebirds are a dime-a-dozen.
Wow, thanks for posting. Gotta love the smoothness.

To me, the OHC version is the most interesting Firebird.

Not bad for an OHC6, Check out the video of my 69 Firebird OHC sometime.
