In this episode of Regular Car Reviews, the team takes a deep dive into the world of the Firebird, specifically the fbody model. Now, if you're thinking of owning one of these beasts, there are a few things you need to know. This car is a fusion of 1970s technology and early 2000s modifications. It's a unique blend that brings together the best and worst of both eras.

Let's start with the trunk space. It's not exactly cavernous, but it does have a clever feature - the T-tops. Unlike the older models, these T-tops lock in place, allowing you to slide them around without worrying about them crashing into your glass. It's a small detail, but it shows that GM knew what they were doing.

Moving on to the interior, you'll find not one, not two, but three amplifiers in this car. Yes, it was modified in the early 2000s with that distinct early 2000s style. It's a time capsule of sorts, with music that will transport you back to that era. And speaking of music, the head unit is a relic from the early 2000s as well. While it does have Bluetooth, it may not connect to your modern phone. But fear not, it has built-in storage so you can transfer files and have a bank of MP3s ready to play.

Now, let's talk about the quirks and features that make this Firebird truly unique. The floor pans are different on the passenger side, causing one leg to be higher than the other. It's a small detail, but one that adds to the character of the car. And then there's the HVAC system, which is different from its truck counterpart. While the truck has a dedicated button for air conditioning, the Firebird requires you to pick certain settings to activate the AC. It's a bit of a hassle, but it's all part of the charm.

Overall, the Firebird is a fascinating blend of old and new, with its T-tops, modified interior, and distinctive design. It's a car that will transport you back in time, while still offering a thrilling driving experience. So, if you're in the market for a unique and nostalgic ride, the Firebird might just be the perfect choice for you.
