This Catalog:

We’ve tried to make this catalog comprehensive and factual.
We must reserve the right, however, to make changes at 
any time, without notice, in the information contained in this
catalog. Since some information may have been updated
since the time of printing, please check with your Pontiac
dealer for complete details. Pontiac reserves the right to
lengthen or shorten the model year for any product for any
reason, or to start and end model years at different times. 

Engines:

Firebird models are equipped with engines produced by
different operating units of GM, its subsidiaries or suppliers 
to GM worldwide.

Updated Service Information:

Pontiac regularly sends its dealers useful service bulletins
about Pontiac products. Pontiac monitors product 
performance in this field. We then prepare bulletins for 
servicing our products better. Now you can get these 
bulletins too. Ask your dealer. To obtain ordering 
information, call toll-free 1-800-551-4123.

The Assembly of Firebird:

Firebird and its components are assembled or produced 
by different operating units of General Motors, its 
subsidiaries or suppliers to GM worldwide. We sometimes
find it necessary to produce Firebirds with different or 
differently sourced components than originally scheduled.
Since some options may be unavailable when your vehicle
is assembled, we suggest you verify that your vehicle
includes the equipment you ordered, or if there are 
changes, that they are acceptable to you.

Warranty Protection:

Firebird’s three-year/36,000-mile (whichever comes first) 
no-deductible bumper-to-bumper limited warranty covers
repairs, including labor and parts, to correct any defects 
in material or workmanship occurring during the warranty
period. The complete vehicle is covered, except for 
adjustments and normal maintenance.

Corrosion Protection:

Firebirds are designed and built to resist corrosion. All body
and sheet metal components are warranted against rust-
through corrosion for six years or 100,000 miles, whichever
comes first. Application of additional rust-inhibiting 
materials is not required under the corrosion coverage 
and none is recommended. See your Pontiac dealer for
terms of these limited warranties.
