1986 Pontiac Firebird Reviews, Pricing & Specs
What owners say
"Overall, drivers have a mix of love and nostalgia for the 1986 Pontiac Firebird. Many appreciated its classic styling and handling, while others experienced reliability issues, like engine and transmission problems. The car is often remembered fondly, especially as a first car, but the performance and comfort have some room for improvement."
310 HP EFI LT1 swap, TH350 trans swap. 383 stroker, switch to carb and 700R4 coming soon! Custom hood phoenix and LT1 decals applied to fenders and rear hatch. Formula firebird polished wheels and tires as well as WS6 front and rear sway bars with KYB struts and shocks on all 4 corners.
October 20, 2010Handles great! Has sentamental value, was owned by my grandfather. He was shot and killed in it. So I can never get rid of it! It needs the interior to be restored & some engine work. Has a lot of power and had great road handleing, but not on wet roads.

December 24, 2007I like the inside room your get but u gotta be a wee man to fit in the back, the car handles like a dream but don't have much power all in all if u like cruzin this car is the thing
January 11, 2014Performance- good acceleration for a V6, great braking. Build- has kept me safe. It didn't fold up when I got T-boned. Appearance- needs repainting, and ding removal. interior is set :) Great gas mileage for a 2.8L V6. This car gets 30MPG. Fun to drive, its my Daily Driver.
November 25, 2010Loved it b/c it was my first car...hated it b/c it only lasted me a year...trans went, engine was on its way out, and it was the only car you could get sea sick while driving. All hail the spark chicken
April 9, 2008This is a nice car to go to the beach or just drive on a sunny day you know! Not very muscle style like for mustang or other cars but it has a very nice style, it doesn't seem that strong but it does seem very fast!
July 31, 2009As ugly as the paint on this car was I still miss it
May 11, 2008I had one of these before I got my 1991 Firebird. The 86 only had a V-6 in it which was nice, but a V-8 will get you into trouble quicker!
