1978 Pontiac Firebird – today’s tempter

1978 Pontiac Firebird

Big, brutish and owing nothing to subtlety, a Pontiac Firebird of this era is a stand-out at pretty much any car gathering.

In our feature on the series, we note: “Remember a US TV cop drama called The Rockford Files? Yep, so do we, and the highlight was Jim Rockford screaming around LA in that light metallic brown Firebird. Okay, so the colour sucked (although it matched Jim’s suits) and even though it wasn’t even a Trans Am version, that Firebird had real charisma.”

This Trans Am is more Smokey and the Bandit than Rockford and runs a 6.0lt V8 with three-speed automatic transmission.

It is said to have undergone a restoration in the USA.

Australian Muscle Car Sales in Sydney has it, priced at $99,990.
