Re: canadian firebird?
In those days Firebirds were made in the US only, with Pontiac power. Pontiac pulled a fast one to get the Firebirds into TransAm racing with Chevy 302s.

Re: canadian firebird?
A friend's '70 GTO Judge was Oshawa built and is Pontiac powered. I think that Chevy powered GTOs is/was just urban legend. Canadian built Pontiacs in the '60s were Chevy powered. Again "real" paperwork tells the final story.

Re: canadian firebird?
You have to be careful. The GM of Canada paperwork just says that serial number such and such has this information and options. No one comes out and says that your car is the real thing. I'm taking a LOT of pictures while doing our car. How else can you tell if a cowl has been welded into a good body to keep the right numbers in tact once the car is done. There are quite a few talented body men out there who can hide a lot, even to a trained eye. I sure wouldn't want to be paying extra for a numbers car these days. The odds of getting one are getting worse every day. Too bad.
