Second Generation 1970 to 1980 |
The second generation Firebird promos were introduced along with the real car in 1970 and continued through 1980. Colors were again limited to two or three per year. The Formula 400 was chosen as the model for the promo and continued through 1976. Starting in 1977 the Trans Am became the model picked to represent the promo and continued through 1980. The 1974 model would be the last factory assembled second-generation Firebird promo made. From 1975 through 1980 all Firebird promos were unassembled promos called "Promo Kit". There were no 1981 Firebird promos made. The second generation is considered a good starting point for those getting started collecting Firebird promos. They are generally easier to find than the first generation models and are valued from around $35.00 for the 1976-1980 cars to $150.00 to $175.00 for the early 1970s cars. These prices represent cars in near mint to mint condition. The following is a detailed look at the second-generation 1970-80 Firebird promos. |

1975 - 1980 Promotional Kits
Starting in 1975 and continuing through 1980 all Firebird promotional models were unassembled promotional models known as "Promo Kits". The promo kit was the same as the previous assembled promos only now you had to assemble the approximately 25 parts using an easy to follow instruction sheet. These promo kits were molded in authentic factory colors and packaged in colorful boxes depicting pictures of the real car. The value of promo kits are generally in the $30.00 to $60.00 range for factory sealed unbuilt kits, while built kits are worth less. The following is a detailed look at Promo Kits. |
