PONTIAC FIREBIRD, 1994 1st registration: 27/09/1994. Type : VP Serial number: 2G2FS22S1R2243539 Fiscal power: 14 HP Energy : ES Mileage: 90,240 km (not guaranteed) A carriage builder in Pontiac, near Detroit, Michigan, Edward Murphy met Alanson Brush, designer of the first Cadillacs, in 1906. The Oakland Motor Car Company was born, and in 1926 the Pontiac Series 6 became the first true Pontiac model. Hard hit by the Depression of 1929, the company returned to success in 1933, producing the cheapest in-line 8-cylinder car on the market. Although the post-war years were profitable, Pontiac cars had become "conservative" and "stuffy" over the years. It was the arrival of Pontiac's new president, Semon E. Knudson, in 1955, that led the company to offer more spirited, sporty models. A winning bet: in 1959 and 1965, the entire Pontiac range was named "Car of the Year" by Motor Trend magazine. In 1967, the "Firebird" rolled off the assembly line and, with its "Trans Am" version in 1969, became an icon of American production, entering pop culture thanks to the film "Run After Me Sheriff" starring Burt Reynolds. Production of the Firebirds ceased in 2002. Technical specifications Dimensions: Length: approx. 4.72 m (186 inches). Width: approx. 1.88 m (74 inches). Height: approx. 1.21 m (48 inches). Weight: Approx. 1,560 kg (3,440 lbs). Performance and driving : - Engine: 3.8L V6. - Transmission: 4-speed automatic. - Exterior design: aerodynamic lines, T-top roof. - Interior: sport seats, ergonomic center console. - Suspension: independent front and rear suspension. - Brakes: ventilated disc brakes front and rear. - Steering: power-assisted, often with variable steering option. - Fuel consumption: varies according to engine and transmission, generally around 12 to 15 liters per 100 km in city driving. The engine has been successfully restarted, but as the car has been parked in the dry for several years, it needs a complete overhaul, including a check of all safety features. The paintwork has a few flaws, but is perfectly presentable. Structural elements show little visible corrosion. FFVE file in progress. With technical inspection.
