Firebird Fanatic 1982 Mug

The third generation Pontiac Firebird was introduced in late 1981 by Pontiac, alongside its bow tie cousin, for the 1982 model year. These were the first Firebirds available with factory fuel injection, four-speed automatic transmissions, five-speed manual transmissions, four-cylinder engines, 16-inch wheels, and hatchback bodies. The 3rd Generation of Firebirds consisted of three models: Firebird, Firebird S/E, and Firebird Trans Am. The Firebird was the base model, the Firebird S/E was the luxury version, and the Trans Am was the high-performance version. For 1982, the new Firebird had been completely restyled, with the windshield slope set at a dramatic, more aerodynamic 62 degrees and flush mounted side glass.
