The all-new 2nd generation Firebird

When the Pontiac Division stylists were given the job to create an all-new 2nd generation Firebird they wanted to make sure the car would incorporate that certain "Pontiac personality" that gave the division its own unique position in the marketplace.

The "long hood, short deck" theme was incorporated in the basic shape with long doors, big side glass and no quarter windows were given to the car, and in the case of the Firebird, a lowered stance all around. The end result was a body shape that was very fluid, wild, and futuristic, while at the same time simple and clean.

A Southern California couple purchased this 1970 Trans Am brand new in early 1970 and the car was driven as a daily driver for many years since. They chose the automatic transmission so to make it easier for his wife to operate. The car was always well maintained and taken good care of, albeit was slightly abused once their teenage sons got their driver's licenses and did a bit of street racing with it.
