Instructions provided are made digitally and high in quality, very similar to the ones you get from official LEGO sets. Model is sturdy enough to play with and display. While straight-line speed was the main attraction, the Pontiac also put out very decent braking and handling numbers. As before, the Formula and Trans Am received a close derivative of the Corvettes LS1 5.7-liter V8, as the LT1 V8s were discontinued. A quarter-mile run took just 13.5 seconds at 107.4 mph. It could accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in five seconds flat. It is powered by a 5. The Firebird Trans Am WS6s performance capabilities were quite strong for its time. Model has several functional elements such as opening doors, hood, trunk, movable seats, opening arm rest, and working steering for display purposes (not connected to a steering wheel inside the cabin). This 1987 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am GTA with only 10,603 original miles is a one-family-owned vehicle. Took me around month and a half to get done and built at my usual scale of 1:16, that's my favorite scale to display on my shelf.Īlmost all the pieces used in this model are widely available on Bricklink, Brickowl. In general I'm pretty satisfied with the results and I hope that you do too. Can't particularly say it was easy to build, faced some issues with the build here and there but finally I could pull this out. Actually I've always wanted to build one and finally got the chance to do so.
Here's another replica of one of my most favorite dream cars as a kid, the legendary Pontiac Trans Am Firebird.
