1967 Custom Firebird
The original Hot Wheels Firebird is still one of the best. Lack of a convertible
top might seem a bit odd but those Redlines look just fine.
1967
'Light My Firebird' re-issue
This recent re-issue of the '67 Firebird corrected some errors and added
detail like doors and vents. Is it not more like the 'Custom' than the 'LMF'
model? |

1967 'Light My Firebird'
Here is the original 'LMF' which has the aero-windshield, taller spoiler
and exposed engine. These were offered in the 'Spoilers' series.
1969 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am
The most recent Firebird is a modest effort that seems a bit short compared
to the real car. The graphics are also wrong fro the T/A. |

1969 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am (Sizzler)
This plastic bodied Sizzler is much better proportioned than the new diecast
version. It has been repainted in the same original purple.
1970 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am
This collector model from HW is very nice and offers excellent detail and
colors. This body style was one of best for the Firebird. |

1978 Pontiac Firebird
This gold version reminds me of the car driven by
James Garner in TV's Rockford Files. The t-top shape is a bit odd
but sturdy. A full-roof version with big wheels and exposed motor was also done.
Pontiac Firebird Funny Car
While this version is clearly representing the Pontiac Firebird, later versions
had Chevy graphics. HW used their classic funny car base for this model. |

|
1982 Pontiac Firebird
This model was very popular when released and still looks good. The colors
and graphics are appropriate for a car of this vintage.
Pontiac Firebird quarter-mile racer (Cal-Custom)
This model has seen limited production over the years. The side pipes and
mid-spoiler make it unique. Does it represent a real race car? |

Pontiac Firebird IROC Racer
This model has an authentic look with International Race of Champions graphics
and racing tires. Too bad it was not produced in more IROC colors.
Pontiac Firebird Pro Stock
Are there any racing versions of the Firebird missed by HW. A stock version
of the last Firebird would have been nice too. |
