The Fabulous Firebird
|
|
|
Synopsis: This book is, simply stated, a must have for the serious Firebird enthusiast. It covers the history and development of the first and second generation F-body Firebird, including production numbers and data for base, Esprit, Formula and Trans Am models. Year-by-year changes are chronicled in the text, and several sidebars are included for discussing topics related to the Firebird's development (i.e., the XP 833 prototype, Fire Am's, Mecham Macho T-As, etc.) in every chapter. The chapters' (1-7) titles are:
The book covers models up to '81, and provides many "inside" details of the Firebird's development from the engineers and designers who developed/created the Firebird, including John DeLorean, Bill Collins, Herb Adams, Bill Porter, John Schinella ("Mr. Trans Am"), John Folden, etc. I highly recommend this book to any Pontiac, and especially Firebird, fan. It's that good. (Couldn't say it better - Geoff) **Order The Fabulous Firebird ** |
