What if your Firebird Formula or Trans Am simply wasn't enough car...say it needed to be speedy; speedier than that. Herb Adams, a former special projects engineer for Pontiac might've had a solution for you back in the late '70s/early '80s. A spiritual precursor to the Firehawks of fifteen years later, the Fire-Am packages offered special bits and pieces to make your T/A even more '70s-fab than could be accomplished with mere Pontiac parts and decals.

A heavily-prepared '79 model contested the last running of the original Cannonball, sadly expiring in Western Penna. Still, as '70s tuner-type relics go, we like the Fire-Am. How can one not? Goddamn, Fire-Am. – Davey G. Johnson
