Larry Bird was born on December 7, 1956, in West Baden Springs, Indiana. Bird is widely regarded as one of the greatest basketball players of all time. Larry’s impact on basketball is undeniable, his style of play was characterized by his shooting skills, court vision, game sense, and toughness. He was also famous for his clutch performances in high-pressure situations and his ability to make his teammates better.

He was also a two-time NBA Finals MVP and won gold medals at the 1992 Olympics and the 1978 FIBA World Championship. 

 2. 1983 Jeep CJ7 Renegade 

Larry’s everyday commuter is his Jeep CJ7 Renegade, surely a beast of his time cloaked in white with an open top, the vehicle really gives out a rugged vibe for Larry’s 6-foot-9 frame. The classic off-road vehicle was known for its unique exterior styling with a distinct grille, fender flares, and decals. The interior is more driver-friendly than its prior generations with leather bucket seats and larger door openings.

The Jeep CJ7 Renegade comes with a 4.2L Inline-6 engine mated to a 5-speed manual transmission that generates about 112 horsepower and 210 lb-ft of torque. The vehicle completes the 0-60 mph sprint in 11.9 seconds and attains a top speed of 84 mph.

1. 1984 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am 

Making it to the top is Larry’s Pontiac Trans Am which he won as the most valuable player for the Boston Celtics in 1984 during that particular season. A particular price tag of $46,000 won't do justice to the vehicle for the aforementioned reason. The exterior of the vehicle is cloaked in a red exterior color with MVP embarked on each side of the doors. The interior features Recaro front bucket seats and automatic commuter-car trappings.

The Pontiac Trans Am comes with a tried and tested 5.0L V8 engine mated to a 5-speed manual transmission that squeezes out 190 horsepower and 240 lb-ft of torque. The vehicle goes from 0-60 mph in 7.5 seconds and attains a top speed of 127 mph on clear highways.
