2000 Pontiac Firebird

OFFERED WITHOUT RESERVE

Out of a combination of a lifelong automotive passion and an unyielding desire to support the people of his Alabama community, the Generous Collection was born. Mr. Greg Rusk, a successful business leader in the cardboard industry, with a big heart for helping families and friends in times of need, would regularly pay overly generous fees to acquire an interesting vehicle. After decades of collecting and supporting local automotive enthusiasts, the Rusk family is ready for these vehicles, each with their own story, to write their next chapter back on the road, where they belong.

The Generous Collection returns with Part 2 offering over 250 cars in August all offered without reserve, emerging from years of long-term silent storage. From the quiet shadows of the Generous Collection to the sunshine of backroads and highways, enthusiasts now have the opportunity to own a piece of a generous car-collecting legacy.

By 2000, the Pontiac Firebird was entering its final stretch on the fourth-generation F-body platform, and while the Trans Am's LS1 V8 grabbed headlines, the base V6 model deserves reconsideration. Powered by GM's 3.8-liter (231 cubic inch) 3800 Series II V6, the standard Firebird postedmodest numbers against the V8's horsepower but was far from anemic.
