The name of the muscle cars were borrowed from the show car Firebird XP-21 from the '50s and the chassis from the Chevrolet Camaro.

The 1st Generation took about 2 years (1967-1969). In the first year of the sale was a resounding success for Pontiac. The range of engines ranging from 3.8-liter V6 engine (115 hp) to the 6.6-liter V8 engine (325 hp). In 1967 she was the car as a pace car at Daytona International Speedway. The '68 model showed few differences from its predecessor, only the engine performance stiegbeim 6.6 l engine to 340 hp. The '69 Firebird went through a revision: he has the nose with the typical barbecue and four headlights. In addition, the TransAm was introduced as a top model.


The 2nd Generation (1968-1981) to radiate a whiff of Italian design. However, customers did not change with the design, which showed a decline in sales satisfaction. Against this background, only 88 TransAm Ram Air IV, with a 6.6 l engine with 8 cylinders. In 1971, the Firebird has been on emissions and mileage requirements with a 7.5-liter engine (335 hp base) on the market. Externally, the Firebird, you can see the oversize rear spoiler, which were designed for both the Formula 4000, and the TransAm. In 1972, the Firebird has has barely changed. In 1973, the Firebird was experienced changes in the interior and the engine range is considerable: there are models with a 4.1-liter V6 engine (150 hp) and a 7.5-liter V8 engine (290 hp). In 1974, changes were, as obliquely towed behind the battle lines were well received by customers, sales rebounded. 1975, there were changes, he received a larger rear window and headlights, which were integrated into the grille. However, it was the engine performance 7.5-liter engine with 200 hp. 1977 it had a revision of the front section: 2 rectangular headlamps were integrated into the grille. 1979 4 headlights were separately inserted into prongs. The Firebird 1979 was the most successful of the whole series.

1982 started the 3rd Generation of Firebirds and lasted until 1992. The Firebird was a sporty body. In addition, the TransAm when talking KITT cult was established in the TV series "Knight Rider down. The essential characteristic of this generation are the pop-up headlights. The '83 model was barely changed. A year later, there was a special study, but never in production: The Firebird was a station wagon. Amendments of 1985 gave the Firebird front and rear for improved aerodynamics. The slower 86-mph-was speedo (138 km / h 1968) for a faster 120-mph-speedometer (swapped 193 kmh), it also gave new rims. In 1991 he received a new nose.

The last generation (1993-2001) was a round body, and until 1994 there was no convertible version of the Firebirds. However, ABS and airbags are now standard. In 1998 the Firebird received a new nose as well, more power with up to 305 hp. A year later, the 30-year anniversary of the Firebird, a special edition on the market, which was severely restricted. The special models of the "Collector's Edition" (CE) are very conspicuous, as they are painted yellow and have vinyl stickers that are on the back, side and front to be found.
