Automotive Facts: The Pontiac Firebird is an American automobile
built by Pontiac from the 1967 to the 2002 model years. Designed as
a pony car to compete with the Ford Mustang, it was introduced 23
February 1967, the same model year as GM's Chevrolet division
platform-sharing Camaro. This also coincided with the release of
the 1967 Mercury Cougar, Ford's upscale, platform-sharing version
of the Mustang, The name "Firebird" was also previously used by GM
for the General Motors Firebird 1950s and early-1960s concept cars.
The first generation Firebird had characteristic Coke bottle
styling shared with its cousin, the Chevrolet Camaro. Unlike the
Camaro, the Firebird's bumpers were integrated into the design of
the front end.The Firebird's rear "slit" taillights were inspired
by the 1966-1967 Pontiac GTO. Both a two-door hardtop and a
convertible were offered through the 1969 model year. Originally,
the car was a "consolation prize" for Pontiac, which had desired to
produce a two-seat sports car based on its original Banshee concept
car. However, GM feared this would cut into Chevrolet Corvette
sales, and gave Pontiac a piece of the "pony car" market through
sharing the F-body platform with Chevrolet. Firebirds were used in
the Trans-Am series in the 1960s and 1970s. When the Firebird Trans
Am was released, there was controversy over the model's inability
to compete in the Trans-Am because the smallest available engine
was too large for use in the series at 400 cubic inches (6.6
liters). The name also caused controversy because it was used
without permission from the SCCA, who threatened suit. GM settled
the dispute by paying $5 to the SCCA for each car they sold. When
the Trans-Am was last seen, model year 2002 Firebirds were in use.
From 1996 to 2006, a WS6 Trans Am coupe provided the body style for
the mechanically identical racing cars used in the International
Race of Champions (IROC).
