Pontiac's '96 Firebird, part of the second generation that began in 1993, rekindled the flames of the proud legacy that begain in the heyday of the muscle car era. When outfitted with the primo performance package, the F-body bird flew on the wings of its 5.7 liter V-8 engine that was rated at 285 hp, while interior styling included leather on the steering wheel, shift-knob and parking brake. This return flight of Pontiac's top muscle machine brought affordable performance back to the car buyer, and more excitement back to driving!

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 1996 Pontiac Firebird 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.
