[@MrBackslider1]

My first car.. had a 1980 red w/red interior. Loved it.

[@mikemike1071]

A 1976 was my first car. I loved it.

[@davebruton5731]

This , takes me back to the eighties , a drunken night and a girl , both of us over 18 , couldn't find enough room enough in the back seat ....

[@TheTreasureGuard]

That must be the world's only 76 Sunbird in good shape must be very rare.

[@richardmoye7276]

I have one that is maroon with red interior in excellent shape for its age...it's a time warp everytime I drive it 😀

[@traceydeanrainey]

231 CID V6 , I had one of these and it was awesome ! It was a wonderful car and if I ever come across one again I’m going to do whatever it takes to purchase it. I was 16 and it was my first car and it was my first taste of freedom and my car was a basket case but I turned it around and fixed everything on it. Lord I’d love to get another one.

[@richardmoye7276]

They are fun to drive ...nothing powerful by any means but I love driving mine that's for damn sure 💯

[@jackcade68]

I had an orange 76 sunbird, 5 speed bucket seats sunroof. My first car! I would to find another one today!

[@alexandergillingham2592]

Just imagine if the Cavalier looked like in the 70s

[@Imcrikee]

Mine was yellow, same white interior, black carpet, but with black top. 5 speed stick shift, rubber "mag" wheel.

[@JAG8176]

My first car was a '79 Sunbird, same exact color scheme with a V6. Wow. Flashbacks! Miss that car. Wish I didn't have to give it up.

[@eddyshow]

Car was a head of it's time would break down day b4 payday every time.

[@JackVegetables18]

My friend darrell wallhumper had one of those sunbirds his was a 78 model

[@Joe-wyo]

Had an 85 sunbird wagon that was red/silver in color. Red interior and was 1.8L non turbo. Was my first ride. But damn, the older ones are amazing for sure

[@stevegroot5347]

I had one and loved it. Paid $300 for it. Put 100K miles on it. Sold it for $400. 2.5 Iron Duke.

[@timalcorn4765]

As 76 Pontiac Sunbird orange with white interior

[@knowbodiesfull5768]

Haven't seen a Sunbird in that condition in YEARS! Most of them rusted away, and the few you do see will most likely be on a quarter-mile drag strip.

[@davidt4219]

No air conditioning

[@marks4374]

I had a 78 with the iron duke. It was a decent car until the firewall rusted through where the clutch cable goes through. I couldn’t disengage the clutch . It was my first car.

[@doctorzaius4084]

Damn how did this car survive all these years in such great shape? Also, that's some interesting plumbing from the muffler back... did they come from the factory that way?? I can't remember the last time I saw one IRL. I'm 36 and even when I was a kid you hardly ever saw these cars.

[@thatoneguy6776]

you never saw these cars... because they were always broken down in the dealer shops

[@thatoneguy6776]

I had a 1977 sunbird in 1981.... 1st car at 18 years old Biggest turd ever owned.... no power... exhaust smelled like burned fireworks..... and front tie rods broke at 10,000 miles mark on odometer. GM made a nightmare with is car

[@joejoseph3078]

This was my first car. Mine was a bit of a POS, but I still loved the shit out if it. Mine was brown with the Landau top.

[@donavanheidinger9619]

amazing!!

[@magicmaker15]

Someone pretty please tell me what that song is?

[@bw8632]

Don’t want to tell you something you may already know, but generally this type of music can be found under “public domain” music. KZbin content creators frequently use it. Just google it, you’ll come up with websites with hundreds of free to use songs. That’s probably where this came from, unless the creator is a musician and created his/her own

[@walterbatman7949]

I never knew they put a v6 in those

[@1972mercurycougar]

In 78-79, they put a 305 V8, in some. Optional equipment.

[@mercoid]

The rear end is almost Lancia like.

[@thirdintegra]

I love these!

[@xLuiKangx007]

I like these

[@vintagemotelguest]

I have no idea what this place was asking for this Un-bird --- their prices are unGodly so I'm going to guess $15,000 -- but this EXACT CAR, in this EXACT condition, was going for only $7,000 in the Arizona Craigslist about three years ago. Now do you see why real Americans don't want to sell -- and certainly not buy -- from predatory dealers...??????? Keep them OFF of Craigslist and sell to your neighbors -- not to thieves.

[@derrickjackson6737]

That's a 3.8 231 V6 2 barrel carb

[@elizabethcherry920]

That is something that is never seen, nice

[@shawnholley4492]

Is that a 301 V-8 in it?

[@knowbodiesfull5768]

Are you serious? A 301 V-8 in THAT?!?!

[@Troy_nov1965]

V-6

[@mark52111]

Terrible car. Burned oil, over boosted power steering, pathetic handling, door handles ripped out, dash disintegrated in sun, weak i4 motor, stiff clutch pedal, ball joint failed and left me dead in the road. Wouldn't wish this car on my worst enemy. Mechanic back in the day said this was first truly "disposable " car. Just take it to the junk yard and hand them the keys. This car made me not ever want to own an american car again. Owned nothing but japanese cars ever since.

[@saganich74]

Classic v-belt squeal
