Description
The 1977 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am is one of the high points of the American muscle car’s final golden era. Based on Pontiac’s second generation Firebird, the 1977 model was a major update that introduced square quad headlights, a new front end and the snowflake wheels, along with the standout shaker hood scoop, fender extractors and bold Trans Am graphics. Its famous hood bird, nicknamed the “Screaming Chicken”, became one of the most recognizable emblems in automotive history.
Power came from a 6.6 litre (400 cubic inch) Pontiac V8, rated at about 180 horsepower in standard form and about 200 horsepower with the optional W72 performance package. The Trans Am got a huge boost that year from the 1977 film Smokey and the Bandit, and Pontiac sold more than 68,000 of them, making 1977 one of the model’s best years ever.
Hot Wheels celebrates this classic in its Pop Culture Old School series, a premium line with extra detail. This release is finished in Red with thin yellow striping down the sides, “TRANS AM” graphics, detailed headlights, taillights and trim, a black interior and gray Real Riders wheels at 1:64 scale. It is a classic tribute to the real car rather than a movie replica.
