Firebird Hood Graphic Table
1970 - 1981
Updated:
November 23, 2008
The table below
is my attempt at providing the most accurate pictorial possible of the various
hood birds used each year from 70-81. Where possible, I have shown different
color/hood bird combinations when I have found them but, given the availability
of decals in various colors and styles, I cannot guarantee all of the
combinations shown were actually offered or produced by Pontiac. My goal is to
provide the most accurate information possible. If and when I can find
documented evidence a particular color combination was never offered I will
remove it or perhaps add it to a "fantasy" section for owners that own a
particular color Firebird and might wonder what different color birds would look
like on their car.
On the flip side, in an attempt to provide accurate cataloging of all years, I
am not arbitrarily adding any particular color combination unless I have
documents showing it existed, reasonable certification from the owner or just a
reasonable assessment on my part that it probably existed. So there may be some
instances where a particular color combination has been missed. The continuing
goal will be to only provide here the actual bird graphics and color
combinations that Pontiac actually offered and produced. The graph is meant to
help Firebird owners but I make no claims as to the absolute correctness of the
graphics provided. If you believe any of these listings contain an error or
mistake feel free to contact me about it at
webmaster1@firebirdgallery.com
(remove the "1" before
sending).
As always with this site my aim is to provide the most accurate information I
can.
Additionally if you can provide a nice overhead shot of a hood bird decal or
color combo I do not yet have PLEASE take the time to take the picture and send
it to me at the e-mail address above. Make the sure as much of a direct overhead
shot as you can get. I'd prefer to eliminate as much of the windshield and front
end as possible. Make sure the picture is clear, taken during a well-lit day and
send it to me in the largest resolution you can produce i.e. 1024x768, 1280x1024
etc... Please also take the time to let me know what year model the car is, what
color it is, if the car has ever been repainted, if the decal has ever been
replaced and finally how original you feel it is.
Thanks to Ken Carothers for sending me the original table and helping me to get
this started!!
