Vehicle Description
Before the Pontiac brand was discontinued, its motto was "We build
excitement." This 1995 Pontiac Firebird certainly backs up that
claim at the start, and then ups the ante from there, nabbing its
Firehawk moniker by virtue of an aftermarket session at renowned
performance experts Street Legal Performance (SLP), evidence of
which can be seen via Chief Engineer's signature under its hood. A
veritable '90s era museum piece with just over 2200 actual miles
behind it (not a misprint), it's an unusually well-configured,
'90s-era muscle car poised to provide its next owner years of
high-powered, open motoring exhilaration.
Black cars are a sort of "high-risk/high reward" proposition, as
blemishes and incidental evidence of wear can elevate the former
over the latter and make imperfections all the more obvious, but
there are no such concerns with this Firebird. Almost certainly
having spent its life safely sheltered in a garage, it's sporting a
coat of black paint that looks especially nice, not even showing
the common swirl marks so often the evidence of overzealous
detailing. From all angles, it's just a great-looking car - plenty
of flash and yet still refined, with every curve and contour
well-placed. You can see the engineering attention that must have
gone into this model before it rolled out, as it looks like it
would cut through headwinds like a knife even when standing still.
Even the long scoop rising from the center of the hood has a taper
to it to minimize drag. It sits fittingly low to the ground, with
an aerodynamic profile that's accentuated by the sharp angle of its
windshield and a taper that elevates gracefully from front to
back.
Just as you'd hope for in a car that's logged so few miles, the
gray interior is in super clean shape. It's easy to picture
yourself carving turns on a starry night with the top down, but on
those occasions when you're looking for a little more protection
from the elements, the power convertible top raises without
incident and sits nice and tight to the windshield, minimizing wind
noise. The leather buckets up front show very little wear and look
very supportive, with deep bolstering. In contrast to most cars,
the bench seat in back also looks as if it was designed to hold its
occupants in place. Well-equipped with a variety of convenience
features, this Firehawk comes with a host of convenience options
that make for a comfortable driving experience. The A/C is blowing
strong and cold, the steering column has plenty of tilt to
accommodate drivers of all shapes and sizes and the power windows
roll up and down without a hitch. An especially nice feature for a
convertible is the rear window defogger - it's great to have on
cold mornings when you first hit the road.
This Pontiac excels as far as having the "go" to match its
considerable "show." Underneath that sloping hood with its long
scoop sits a 5.7 ltr fuel-injected LT-1 engine that's paired with a
6-speed manual transmission - one of only 61 Pontiac convertibles
equipped this way the year this droptop came out. Configured with a
light clutch and short throw Hurst shifter, quick shifts come
easily and those close gear intervals make this Pontiac a scorcher
as far as acceleration is concerned. Featuring power disc brakes at
all four corners, this car has you well-covered when it comes time
to stop.

window sticker, original dealer invoice and bill of sale? Check out
