Wind Back Time
1986 Pontiac Firebird V8
Specifications
Description
The mythical Firebird appears in cultures around the world.
Slavic folklore tells of a prophetic glowing bird from a distant land; beautiful and dangerous, it is simultaneously a blessing and harbinger of doom to its captor. Meanwhile, Ancient Greek mythology records a Phoenix, an immortal bird that regenerates from fiery ashes and has come to symbolise renewal.
The Pontiac Firebird decal is arguably an interpretation of a Native American symbol and here we have a hard muscled, lightning-reflexed commando of a car.” Immortalised in popular culture and with prices rising, the Pontiac Firebird remains one of the most desired automobiles of all time.
Created in 1926 by General Motors (GM), Pontiac was named after a Native American Chief who led the Ottawa tribe in a failed uprising against the British.
Akin to the first Mustangs, mid 1930s Pontiacs were high-style yet inexpensive, positioned between the Oldsmobile and Chevy.
ABOUT THIS CAR
- The car is a lot of fun, economical to drive and super reliable.
- Roomy and comfortable for the driver and passenger...back seats really only enough room for kids.
- Excellent driver...the suspension is tight and firm. One can hop in and drive anywhere and be comfortable doing it. I think the best part about this car, besides the feel of the car and the look/design of the car, is the exhaust. It is VERY unique and makes me extremely happy...that American V8 throb while I'm driving...love it!
