Book Description

Original Series July 15, 2007

Following Ford and Chevrolet, Pontiac entered the pony car market in 1967 and came up with one of the best and most successful muscle cars ever produced. Though based on the Camaro chassis, the Firebird offered unique features and high performance, and over its nearly 40 years of production it continued to wow drivers--as it does today.

 This book details the Firebird’s long and illustrious career. With high-quality, detailed color photographs of some of the finer models--both originals and faithful restorations--the book is at once a unique history and a restoration guide to all four generations of the Firebird. Pictures and text profile the correct parts, finishes, options, and trim pieces for various models. The book also covers the vehicle’s wide variety of engine options, along with all special editions and model variations from the Firebird’s introduction in 1967 to the final model in 2002.

1.0 out of 5 stars Not what Ithought, December 28, 2007
This review is from: Original Pontiac Firebird and Trans Am 1967-2002: The Restorer's Guide (Original Series) (Hardcover)
This book was the same as all the other Firebird/Trans Am books with pictures of completed cars. To me, a restoration book gets into detail of removing parts, what problem areas to look for and good advice with detailed photographs. Can someone put one of those together?

3.0 out of 5 stars Disappointing, September 9, 2007
By 
This review is from: Original Pontiac Firebird and Trans Am 1967-2002: The Restorer's Guide (Original Series) (Hardcover)
The ''Original Series" rarely fails to please, but this book is a disappointment. The photo quality is generally excellent; the books greatest failing is trying to cover too many years in one volume, with the result that lovers of the 1st and 2nd generation 'birds will be left wanting. The volume devoted to the Camaro, for example covers only '67-'69; surely the Firebird deserves a similar treatment, or at least volumes separating the 69-81 models from the 82-2002 models. First and foremost, a book like this is for daydreaming and drooling( like Playboy for car nuts); frankly, the later models are common enough sights that thay hardly inspire the lust that the early models do. (My lack of expertise prevents me from commenting on the accuracy of the text as a restorers guide; it may be fine for that purpose.)

This review is from: Original Pontiac Firebird and Trans Am 1967-2002: The Restorer's Guide (Original Series) (Hardcover)
A pretty book. Good for a coffee table. Otherwise not much to do with the real world of car restoration.
