Overview

The Firebird had excellent sales in its first half year and the 400 V8 made it a force to be reckoned with. There were few changes in 1968 but the 1969 car was longer and heavier, so sales slipped. In March 1969, therefore, Pontiac introduced the Trans-Am resplendent in white with blue stripes and an array of air scoops and spoilers. Emissions regulations took their toll and a 455 motor was needed in 1971 to keep up the performance. A long factory strike did not help and the 1972 Trans-Am was the last of the breed before the name was applied to a succession of watered down machines. This is a book of contemporary road and comparison tests, new model introductions, technical and specification data, long term tests, racing and history. Models covered include: Sprint, 400, Super-Six, 400 Ram Air, Bobcat, Fitch Firebird, Sprint Turismo, 303, Esprit, F400.
