History: 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 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.
Changes for 1978 were slight, with a switch from a honeycomb to a
crosshatch pattern grille being the most obvious from the outside.
Beginning in 1978, the Pontiac group introduced a new special
edition vehicle. The Firebird Formula LT Sport Edition which
featured a revised 10% raised compression Chevy 305 V8 powertrain
producing 155 hp (same as 1977 Chevy Monza Mirage) combined with a
floor center console four-speed manual T-10 BW transmission coupled
to a limited-slip differential final drive. The limited touring
package (LT) also included a cabin roof, door, fender and hood
graphics scheme, the Trans-Am sports handling package with HD gas
shocks, modular alloy wheels and the SE Trans-Am rear deck spoiler
with "Formula" word graphic detail. T-tops in 1978 transitioned
from Hurst units to Fisher (GM) in mid year.
