About a year ago I had a phone tech come out to our dealership to do some switch programming; she was rather hot looking, before leaving she informed me this was were she got her first car and that she still had a pic of it. She sent it to me a few days later in an email.

I can't say I've ever heard of a Skybird. Was this a "one of a kind/nothing special" car?

Pontiac made two other special additions as well that year a Not quite canary yellow, Yellow bird and a red, Red Bird edition both with similar stripping packages. Definetely geared towards the female buyer at the time.

Female buyers...

I think they also made a black bird. all seemed like "chick" cars.

There were some bodyshops here in town that make up Black Knights for Ernie Miller out of GMC Sprint (Elcamino's) by doing special paint and adding a TA hood and side scoop along with gold pinstrioing and special Hood decals and other logo's to a Full optioned but base car. I think they also did some plain Firebirds up grades to look like a black bird or a blue bird but using a base car to start with. They sure did a lot of these through a body shop near me that a friend of mine owned.

You are correct, and we made some special pace cars back in 80 or 81. I believe the where abouts of one of the El Caminos is known, I'm working on getting old pics from Marc right now for some of these.
