1977 Pontiac Firebird Formula 350 - Buccaneer Red (Ertl) 1/18
Product Details Temp out of stock
When early-'70s clean air mandates attempted to ground Detroit's frequently fast flyers, Pontiac's '77 Firebird refused to have its wings clipped entirely. The bird still flew with the wind of either of two 400 cid. options or a 403 beneath its wings, and it's restyled "plumage" included the adoption of four headlights, a new pointed nose and an Endura bumper panel. Sales of the Firebird soared, as 1977 marked the third best sales year ever for the Firebird line, with more than 155,000 units sold. Assortment slated to contain three each of Silver and Buccaneer Red. Assortment subject to change.

The Pontiac Firebird and its twin, the Chevrolet Camaro, shared a platform from 1967 onward but developed distinct personalities. The Trans Am variant, introduced in 1969, became the definitive performance Firebird. The 1977–1981 'Bandit' Trans Am — immortalized by Burt Reynolds in Smokey and the Bandit — became a cultural phenomenon, with the black-and-gold Special Edition among the most recognizable American cars of the era.
This 1/18 scale replica of the 1977 Pontiac Firebird in Red is produced by Ertl to collector-grade specifications. At 1/18 scale — the most popular collector scale — the model measures approximately 10 inches in length and displays beautifully on a shelf or in a glass cabinet. Every detail — from paint finish to badging — is reproduced from measurements taken from the original vehicle.
