Pontiac Firebird

The Firebird was a sports car introduced by Pontiac in 1968 as their version of the Chevrolet Camaro. A special version known as the Pontiac Trans Am was also available as a performance model. The Firebird competed in the Sports Car Club of America's Trans-American Sedan Championship until it was replaced by the Trans Am once the five liter displacement limit was dropped. The Firebird was marketed until 2002, when the Camaro was discontinued. It did not see a return like the Camaro as the Pontiac brand was dropped in 2010. Early models were sports coupes, but in the seventies the Firebird evolved into more of a sports car.
