It’s not often we go all gooey over a bit of American Muscle.<\/strong><\/p>\n

But this slick, black on black edit of a 1970 Pontiac Firebird by an outfit called Allspeed Customs makes us go all weak at the knees.<\/p>\n

According to the Michigan based custom shop’s site this ‘blackhawk’ version of a customer car comes with a 1000 horsepower, twin turbo EFI Pontiac engine – meaning that it would be able to cash the cheques it’s looks have written.<\/p>\n

The Firebird is one of the later slices of muscle that came from Detroit before the oil crisis of the early seventies went and ruined everything.<\/p>\n

And how about that name: Pontiac Firebird. There’s a rhythm to it that’s almost onomatopoeiac.<\/p>\n

Who would have guessed in 1970 that we’d still be salivating over this sort of arcana in the 2020s?\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n
