'80s Firebird

The '80s Firebird is a particularly long-running Hot Wheels model, introduced in 1983 and its most recent release being in 2024. It was based on the third generation Pontiac Firebird, produced from 1982 to 1991. The model was given a minor modification around 1991 and made to have post-post instead post-tab construction. The model was retooled entirely in 2011 and given slightly better detailing. A successor model known as the '84 Pontiac Firebird, designed by Brendon Vetuskey, was introduced
