Description[]
The Firebird Trans-Am is a muscle car model designed by George Soulakis introduced in 1970; as the name suggests, it is based on a Pontiac Firebird. The casting was used until 1973 when the Sizzlers line was discontinued.
This model uses a short chassis with a 1/3 AA battery. The body style appears to be a 1969 Firebird.
