Pontiac Firebird TransAm Comeback?
On my way into Menards home improvement store, my wife and I saw what we thought was a new Pontiac Firebird TransAm! My first car as a teenager was a 1971 Pontiac Firebird with a V8 and I thought wouldn't that be a blast to book-end my car ownership life with a new Pontiac Firebird if Pontiac is indeed coming back. I saw the car YouTubers speculating a few months ago about the Car and Driver magazine full-page advertisement eluding to GM exploring the interest in bringing the Pontiac brand back as well as the Firebird TransAm. So I couldn't help but wonder if this was another gorilla marketing ploy by GM to capture public's reaction...I've known GM to do just such antics in their distant past so it didn't seem implausible.
Alas, upon awaiting the owner to walk up to his car, I inquired about his ride and he shared it was a kit car from a place in Dearborn, Michigan. He didn't elaborate and didn't seem overly talkative so my wife and I deflated, went on with our home improvement shopping. I couldn't stop thinking about it and when we got home, I surfed the interweb to find what I think is the kit once sold to convert Chevrolet Camaros into wannabe Pontiac Firebird TransAms. Definitely not the same thing as a factory-made, Pontiac brand comeback of a classic muscle car but if one has that kind of disposable income then I suppose to each their own. Oh come on GM, you could make a killing if you brought back this classic but also kept it simple, straight-forward and decently-priced but we we know that would never happen and these things would likely be outlandishly-priced like all new cars today...who'd have thought we'd wish for simply owning a new car at all these days let alone what used to be the working man's sports coupe! It just doesn't seem that long ago...Dream-on boys and girls, dream-on...
