Pontiac Firebird

All of the car-themed TV shows I watched growing up in the ’80s are part of the reason I am a car guy today. One of the ones I loved the most was Knight Rider. I watched that show each week, and after seeing the first episode where KITT transformed into pursuit mode, I prayed each new episode he would do it again.

These are some rare birds indeed. The very first production Pontiac Firebirds built will soon go on sale at Barrett-Jackson, and you can bet they’ll command a staggering bounty. These 1967 Firebirds – a coupe and a convertible – rolled off the line at the Lordstown, Ohio assembly plant and immediately captured the hearts of muscle car mad gearheads, to the tune of selling more than 82,000 units in the first year.
