In terms of physically handling the snow I'm sure it would survive. BUT ride height wise it is far lower than your firebird which would make anything more than an inch or two trouble, the tires are wider, and the fact its an Italian sports car will make you think twice when you realize the cost to repair it if you even cause minor damage. Or the fact the finicky electronics will LOVE the cold weather and the road salt which will lead to more expensive repair bills. Heck you might not even be able to get the doors open in the cold. Theres a reason these cars have such low mileage on them, you need to do a lot more research before even thinking of something like that.

Theres also a reason these cars get parted out a lot or sold cheap, its cause sometimes people see a low-ish price, and stretch to buy it, only to be greeted with repair bills disproportionate to what you paid and the value of the car. Ask all the people buying 10+ year old Mercedes Benz S-Classes how they feel when they need to do a $1,000+ brake job on a "$20,000" car.

There are so many reasons in the world that this is a bad idea.
