COLLECT & ENJOY Introduced for sale mid-way through the 1970 model
year due to an extended strike at the Norwood, Ohio Assembly Plant,
General Motors' second-generation F-Body Pontiac Firebird was
offered only as a sleek fastback coupe featuring handsome,
European-influenced styling cues. For the new Firebird's sophomore
1971 model year, GM stylists wisely left the car's outstanding
styling intact and unchanged. Firebird models ranged from the base
Firebird to the luxurious and sophisticated Esprit and GT-style
Formula 400 and racy Trans Am. In addition to its premium-level
exterior trimmings and passenger amenities, the Esprit was powered
by Pontiac's 350 CI V-8 engine, in 2-barrel tune with a
still-healthy 250 horsepower on tap.As the vehicle of choice for

streetwise on-screen persona. According to the prior owner, this
handsome and well-equipped 1971 Pontiac Firebird Esprit has been
used for a Rockford Files remake. Built at GM's Van Nuys,
California assembly plant and offered with under 46k miles at the
time of writing, this Esprit is highly attractive in its Body
Tag-specified Code 67 Castilian Bronze paint, accented by a Black
vinyl roof covering over a Trim Code 219 Black interior.Power is

at 250 horsepower, paired with a console-shifted automatic
transmission. Other highly desirable features and options include

windows, and a center console. Additional entertainment is provided
by an upgraded, OEM-appearing modern radio featuring Bluetooth
connectivity. Pontiac's handsome Rally II wheels mounting BF
Goodrich radials provide the finishing touches.In addition to an
