Up for sale in our Houston showroom is this 1982 Pontiac Firebird
Trans Am. The third generation Pontiac Firebird was introduced in
late 1981 by Pontiac alongside its corporate cousin, the Chevrolet
Camaro for the 1982 model year. These were also the first Firebirds
with factory fuel injection, four-speed automatic transmissions,
five-speed manual transmissions, four-cylinder engines, 16-inch
wheels, and hatchback bodies. The excitement began 15 years ago
when those electrifying "birds" came down like a rolling thunder to
capture the hears of enthusiasts everywhere, then a legend was
born. The Trans Am is a brilliant orchestration of aerodynamic
function. With its .31 drag coefficient it was the best of any
production car at the time. The T/A was labeled as a pure driver's
car that was engineered for serious roadwork! A modified black 1982
Firebird Trans Am appeared in the new for 1982 television series
Knight Rider as KITT, voiced by William Daniels. For the reunion
movie Knight Rider 2000, KITT underwent a makeover and became the
"Knight Industries 4000". Powering this baby down the road is the
largest engine you could get in the car at the time which is the
LU5 5.0L V8. The new high-performance "Crossfire Fuel Injection"
5.0L V8, which employed a twin throttle body fuel injection system
similar to that used in the 1982 Corvette's "Crossfire" 5.7L, and
produced 165 hp. The small block is coupled to a TH-200c automatic
3-speed transmission that shifts smoothly throughout the gears. The
exterior of the car is in great shape with the gloss black paint
finish looking as good as it did in 82. The decals & trim are free
from any major tears and scratches. Looking at the interior you
will find the cloth Recaro seats that are in good condition with
only the typical tear on the driver seat on the left side. The
dash, carpet, headliner, & the remaining interior are all in superb
condition. The T/A sits on its original wheels wrapped in radial
tires. Features on this car include; AC (blows cold!), Cassette
with AM/FM, T-tops, power steering, power locks, power windows, ABS
brakes, seat belts, & cloth interior. For more information on this
