firebird
As well as being a car, the Firebird is also a range of guitars made by Gibson in the 1960s. They are typically found in dark natural finish (although others are available) with an instantly recognisable angular body shape similar to the Explorer but much more rounded. Weird lookers but quite popular; their miini-humbucker pickups give off a tone which has the usual sustain but a far more trebly, brittle tone. Artists who have favoured the 'Bird include Cream and Lynyrd Skynyrd. More well known is
the FB's bass equivalent, the Thunderbird, played at some point by just about any big-name rock bassist you care to mention:
John Entwistle, Peter Hook, Nikki Sixx,
Nicky Wire, etc.

The gold coupe that got Malibu/L.A.
private detective Jim
Rockford out of many a jam from 1974-79, despite getting wrecked and rebuilt a number of times.
The
Firebird's specialty with a highly skilled driver like Rockford was the 180-degree turnaround-escape, done by gunning the car in reverse, cutting the wheel in either direction and throwing the car into drive at the 180-degree point (yes, he did it with an automatic) and laying rubber while pulling away.
When we last saw Rockford in the '90s, he still had his beloved Firebird and saw it again wrecked, of course, during one of his cases.

The Best
Fucking Line of Cars Ever Created by Man only second to its big brother the GTO Judge. Its has been said that God Gave the Firebird to John
Delorean in a dream, it came down from the heavens like an angle blazing with the light of God, with one goal, to get its driver some pussy. The Firebird has been known to get its owner
thrown in jail on many occasions for manslaughter when sum stupid mother fucker comes up to you and says, "hey Buddy,... Nice Camaro."
Example:
"But Judge, He called my Firebird a
Camaro"
The Judge replies, " I understand, case
dismissed, Let this man go free, there is an 84' missing its driver."

v6 mustang and hang with a cobra. easily modified and often refferred to as
pimptacular
