1981 Pontiac Firebird

THIS 1981 PONTIAC FIREBIRD IS LOCATED IN: CENTRAL SQUARE, NY 13036 The Pontiac Firebird is an American automobile that was built and produced by Pontiac from the 1967 to 2002 model years. Designed as a pony car to compete with the Ford Mustang and Mercury Cougar, it was introduced on February 23, 1967, simultaneous with GMs Chevrolet division platform-sharing Camaro. This also coincided with the release of the 1967 Mercury Cougar, Fords upscale, platform-sharing version of the Mustang. The name Firebird was also previously used by GM for the General Motors Firebird in the 1950s and early 1960s concept cars. Second generation (1970 1981) The second-generation debut for the 1970 model year was delayed until February 26, 1970, because of tooling and engineering problems; thus, its popular designation as a 1970 model, while leftover 1969s were listed in early Pontiac literature without a model-year identification. This generation of Firebirds were available in coupe form only; after the 1969 model year, convertibles were not available until 1989. 1981 1981 became the final year for the second generation Pontiac Firebird. The three engine options were unchanged for the model line-up, however, the option for a four-speed Borg Warner Super T-10 was re-introduced for the Formula and Trans Am, but was only available with the Chevrolet sourced LG4 305 5.0 liter V8. As with all other General Motors vehicles for 1981, all engines came equipped with the computer command control system attached to the carburetor. The hood decal for the 1981 model year was also slightly restyled. All Firebirds also received an embossed silver Firebird decal on the petrol tank cap attached to the rear taillights. On the special edition Trans Ams, this Firebird was gold. The G80 limited-slip differential that was previously standard for the last decade on all Trans Ams became a pay-extra option. This decision was made by Pontiac to prepare dealers for the new ordering and pricing for the third generation Firebird where the G80 was no longer being included as a standard option for the Trans Am. 1981 PONTIAC FIREBIRD CLEAN TITLE IN HAND ORIGINALLY A SOUTHERN CAR THE ODOMETER SHOWS 54,757 MILES GRAY EXTERIOR OVER A RED INTERIOR V8 ENGINE MUNCIE 4 SPEED MANUAL TRANSMISSION 3.42 POSI REAR END HEADERS WITH A NEW DUAL EXHAUST NEW EDELBROCK AVS2 650 CFM CARB NEW FRONT BRAKES AND NEW REAR SHOCKS FACTORY TRANS AM 15X7 ALUMINUM SNOWFLAKE WHEELS HEI IGNITION NEW BATTERY, FRESH COOLANT VERY SOLID AND STRAIGHT BODY LOWER QUARTERS AND WHEEL LIPS ARE PERFECT NEW INTERIOR AM/FM CD PLAYER EVERYTHING WORKS VERY QUICK AND FUN TO DRIVE!
