The Pontiac Firebird is an American automobile that was built and produced by Pontiac from the 1967 to 2002 model years.[1] Designed as a pony car to compete with the Ford Mustang, it was introduced on February 23, 1967, five months after GM's Chevrolet division's platform-sharing Camaro.[2] 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 in the 1950s and early 1960s concept cars.
The body was completely restyled for 1979, featuring a new aerodynamic front end, revised rear end spoiler, bulkier flares for the Trans Am, and a revised connected single taillight assembly design that would remain consistent for the rest of the Firebirds design. The grilles had been repositioned to the lower section of the front bumper to allow more cold air to directly travel to the lower part of the radiator and engine bay. The interior remained mostly unchanged to the previous model year, however the deluxe cloth interior had now changed from velour to a Hobnail pattern. The hood decal from the Y88 SE and Solar Gold cars from 1978 became the standard design across the entire Trans Am line and now came in a variety of colours. The Formula steering wheel that was optional in the lower models and standard in the Trans Am now came colour coded to the interior.
For 1979, there were three possible engine options. The L80 Oldsmobile 403 engine became the standard option and was only available with the Turbo Hydramatic 350 3-speed automatic. The W72 Pontiac 400 was available for a short period and in limited supply. This was the last of the line for the Pontiac large displacement V8 engines, and only available with the Borg-Warner Super T-10, while also requiring the WS6 handling package as mandatory equipment in conjunction with this driveline choice. A credit option with a four-speed transmission was the smaller displacement L37 Pontiac 301 and it could come with either the Super T-10 or Turbo Hydramatic 350.
The Formula received some revisions for the 1979, where the two-tone W50 colored stripe decal now became the standard look for the Formula, however, the W50 package was still available and it added the "Formula" lettering along the bottom of the doors and rear deck spoiler. The dashboard bezel now wore the same machined swirl aluminum bezel as the Trans Am. As the Pontiac 301 had now ramped up production as the Pontiac 400 production had ceased, it became the standard engine for the Formula. The WS6 package had now been renamed from the "Trans Am Mk IV Special Handling Package" to "Special Handling Package" as it was now available for the Firebird Formula. Due to significant popularity and demand for the option to receive 4 wheel disc brakes in the WS6 handling package, some WS6 equipped cars were shipped without the option of rear disc brakes and were instead coded WS7, but still received all other equipment included in the WS6 package.[47]
A limited-edition anniversary package to commemorate the 10th anniversary of the 1969 Firebird Trans Am. The colloquially known as the "TATA" (Tenth Anniversary Trans Am, RPO Y89), it featured every single available production option on the Firebird, however, cruise control was not compatible with the manual transmission resulting in the being credited on the window sticker for the 4-speed equipped TATAs. The TATA also featured special 10th-anniversary decals, including a Firebird hood decal that extended off of the hood and onto the front fenders. Pontiac produced 7,500 Y89 TATAs, of which 1,817 were equipped with the high-output Pontiac T/A 6.6 W72 400 engine. The remainder all featured the Oldsmobile 403. Two TATAs were the actual pace cars for the 1979 Daytona 500, which has been called the race that made NASCAR.
OMG!!!!!! The world is coming to an end!!!! You didn't brush paint the transmission with Testors silver! Oh, the agony.
“Clam Chiller” LOL! Chris, you’re my hero!
Eastbound & Down loaded up & truckin😊❤👍
So huge,it needs a own garage!😂👍
I had this model when I was younger, then had the real thing when I turned 19, my favorite car ever
I appreciate all your videos! You are definitely good at them and build great models! You inspire me to buy all the kits, and to build them faster. I use to build so slow making sure everything is perfect but it's okay to use hardware paint and just build it! Thank you for your efforts! Hope the crybabies don't stop you from doing the great videos!
I have this kit (didn’t realise it was that old 🤯) and when I build it, I’m not going to be able to do much of a job on the dashboard because my hand will be shaking because I will be continuously giggling over the phrase “clam chillers”. And also the way it was delivered “...and one for the ladies... ... ... clam chillers?” 🤣🤣. And it’s not inappropriate - it’s your internet, you can say what you want.
One very cool model. I think maybe when I get this kit, Painting it a dark red. Brown inter. Yes this is another must have. Great video Chris. 👍👍👍👍👍🇺🇸
Nicely done! That model gives me flashbacks to thirteen years ago, putting a full set of T/A SE graphics on a friends ‘77 gold T/A in 90-degree weather. That day was endless!
Very cool model kit. $200 dollar cool, maybe not. But great build as always Chris. Loved the trick with the gauge decals.
This kit was a blast when I was 12 years old and still look a fun build today
OMG..!!! I had this when i was a kid. I Never got to do it and got tossed out during a move years ago..!! I am so happy this kit is out again so i can FINALLY do it..!!!
Ordered mine a couple of days ago, can't wait to get it. Miss my 79 SE TA with the OLD's 403 though. Miss that car.
great video thanks, i ordered one can't wait. that hood is REALLY warped for a $200 model its not even close
Love your builds as always!! I built the original Monogram Turbo Version in the 80's as well as the, Z28, Corvette Stingray and Ford T. The bodies were pre-painted in very high quality finishes and were made with much thicker plastic. Zero warpage and perfect fit for the bonnets. Revell has gotten lazy and are skimping on the plastic.
I built the cousin to this kit 40 years ago which was the MONOGRAM Turbo Trans AM . It is a fabulous product of injection molding . It is massive which lends itself to extra super detailing . MONOGRAM was the king of Ultra Big model kits back in the day . This Revell version is no exception
Hahahaha 'Clam Chillers' absolute classic !
I really love what you did for the gauges, as always a great build video, THANKS CHRIS!!!!
It looks great!!!! You have done a great job building it. The molded color makes it look like a "experimental" prototype in progress. Keep Up the great work!!!!
~nice build~reminds of that scale as when I was a kid, I had a Crusader 101~had a lot of functions to it~what memories~
