Vehicle Description
"What is a Fire Am?" and believe it or not that is a great
question. The answer...It's everything the Trans Am could have been
and should have been. In the height of the muscle car era, GM was
turning out some of the best performance cars this world has ever
known. A man by the name of Herb Adams was an automotive engineer
and diehard racer and just happened to work for the GM Pontiac
division. His contributions led to the now infamous Super Duty 455
engine, as well as the Ram Air V program. Perhaps his greatest
contribution came after his official departure from Pontiac. On a
contractual endeavor, Herb was brought in to conduct a
performance-handling exercise of sorts. In 1977 Herb and his newly
founded company VSE (Very Special Equipment) built 8 race-ready
Trans Ams for Pontiac's IROC racing program. The program did not
succeed at that time, but the improvements made to those 8 Trans
Ams were not lost. Several of the key components went on to become
the WS6 performance package in 1978. The rest of the improvements
were deemed unsuitable for a production car and VSE was granted
permission to offer those components themselves and the Fire Am was
born.
This highly original, two-owner example was optioned with power
steering, power disc brakes, rear seat console, power windows, tilt
column, and the T/A 6.6L 400ci four-barrel V8 engine. Also included
are the original window sticker, build sheet, service records,
lowered suspension, chassis bracing, an updated aluminum Holly
intake manifold, along with a VSC oil pan and VSC wheels.
