Revell 1/16 1987 Pontiac Firebird GTA

"We Build Excitement" was one of Pontiac's most memorable ad campaigns, and judging by the look of the 1987 Firebird® GTA, it wasn't just a slogan. The GTA, new for '87, was the ultimate Firebird. The Pontiac stylists gave it a sleek, cleanly drawn body with a smooth front apron, a wrap-around rear spoiler and aero skirts on the underside of the car. Other features were the single-color exterior paintwork and the subtle GTA lettering on the front fenders.

Under the hood was a 5.7-liter V8 engine. It made 210 hp and had 315 lb-ft of torque. Other features included Pontiac's legendary WS6 handling package and 16-inch diamond-spoke alloy wheels. Revell designers created this now classic 1/16 scale kit of the '87 Firebird GTA when the car was new, but this is the first time the kit has been made available again in decades.
