Own an American muscle car icon with the AFX 1973 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am 22097 in vibrant red. This striking HO scale replica faithfully captures the bold, aggressive style of one of America's most legendary muscle cars, complete with the iconic "Screaming Chicken" hood decal, authentic chrome accents, and Pontiac's distinctive Honeycomb wheels. Powered by the revolutionary Mega G+ chassis, this Trans Am delivers both performance and nostalgia.
The "Screaming Chicken" was a prominent hood decal featured on the Pontiac Trans Am – first introduced in 1973 – depicting a fiery phoenix. It became synonymous with the Trans Am's performance and style during the 1970s and 1980s, even making an appearance in the 1977 film Smokey and the Bandit, elevating the Trans Am to a cultural icon. What began as a simple sketch on Bill Porter's cocktail napkin became an enduring symbol of automotive rebellion and power, and a reminder of the car's raw power and motorsport pedigree.
The Firebird was powered by a 455 cubic inch V8 engine. The reported 310 hp was widely understood to be a made-up number to appease safety regulations when in fact it was certainly much higher. Also featured are Pontiac's iconic Honeycomb wheels, designed to provide a distinctive, performance-oriented look deserving of the Firebird. These cast-aluminum wheels became a hallmark of the Trans Am. The wheels, along with its distinctive wide body and aggressive stance, made it a standout both on and off the track.
AFX Racing honors this automotive legend with a model that blends historic accuracy and modern slot car technology. Designed for speed and stability, the 1973 Trans Am features AFX's Mega G+ chassis, ensuring it handles flawlessly on even the most demanding AFX tracks.
This chassis doesn't just go faster or handle better than the competition. It wasn't just built with the ultra-low, narrow dimensions of the original Mega G to continue the reign of the most realistic HO cars on earth.
