This and the two previous Firebirds are in the GM Heritage museum, which is sadly no longer open to the public except for special tours. Firebird IV was crushed, for some reason.
A copy of the models can be seen at the Henry Ford museum in Dearborn, Michigan. Open to the public and a wonderful place to spend a day, if so inclined.
The picture above looks like some kind of weird AI rendering.

This is what GM got when someone spiked the water cooler bottle with LSD.

This thing could open tin cans in the hands of pedestrians at an intersection.
