Firebird in 1970 is a new design from scratch, do not share the main suspension and body components with the previous model. The car was praised by car magazines for new bold styling, sports car-like handling, and excellent acceleration when equipped with the right engine. That greatly improved the first-generation car in almost every respect.

It’s one of my favorite cars of all time.
