The Pontiac Firebird was built by Pontiac from 1967 to 2002. It was introduced the same year as the Chevrolet Camaro, with which it shared a platform.
The front fenders and door skins of the 1967 Firebird were Camaro pieces, and the rear quarters were Camaro parts with simulated vents stamped into them. Pontiac built its own engines then (as did Buick, Oldsmobile, Cadillac and Chevrolet), and only Pontiac engines went into the Firebird. For 1968 and most of 1969 the Firebird's appearance barely changed
Also in 1969 the Trans Am variant was introduced, with a special dual intake scooped hood, deck spoiler, fender vents and white with blue stripe paint scheme. With lowered suspension, big antisway bars, larger tires and Ram Air III (making 335 horsepower) or Ram Air IV 400 V8, it was also the best handling and most sophisticated.
