GREAT LOOK WITH RECENT REPAINT, SMOOTH 231 V6, AUTO, COLD AC, PS & B W/ FR DISC
A heavily redesigned Firebird debuted in 1979, and they weren't all Bandit Trans Ams. If you just wanted a nice car to drive every day, one with a little personality and great handling, something like this 1981 Pontiac Firebird Esprit would have been just right. Loaded with options and a lot of recent work, it's affordable fun today just like it was back then.
With new front and rear fascias, the Firebird looked radically different by 1981, and sales prove that it was a popular look. On this Esprit, there's fresh white paint that looks fantastic. There's no '70s silliness, just clean bodywork that showcases one of Pontiac's better designs. Of course, all the sheetmetal is original and completely untouched by rust or accident, and the way it fits together is the way it was when it left the factory 27 years ago. The Esprit was pitched as a more sophisticated, upscale model, and without the Trans Am's showy graphics package, it is a bit less ostentatious, but only just. There are gold tape stripes, a familiar ducktail spoiler out back, and aggressive grille openings up front, so it definitely looks like a Firebird, just not as overwhelming. We like the look a lot.
