Vehicle Description
Now is your chance to be the baddest Bandit on the road. This 1980
Pontiac Firebird Trans Am might look like a nicely restored Special
Edition car, but underneath the surface is a restomod with an
upgraded A/C interior and modern fuel-injected LS V8 power.
The truth is these cars never look better than when they're dressed
in formal black with a tribute to Special Edition trim like this
coupe. The black seems to highlight the aggressive shape, as well
as all the sporty details like the fender vents, integrated
spoiler, and shaker-style hood. Plus, the black is the perfect
backdrop for the many gold-colored details that feel like they leap
off the glossy bodywork. The Trans Am markings on the fenders and
rear looks terrific, and that iconic hood bird makes the whole car
worth its weight in gold. And if you look closely, you'll notice
the deeply tinted windows and that the iconic snowflake-style
wheels are larger than stock - offering little hints at the higher
performance within.
Open the door to an interior upgraded for comfort and performance.
It starts with bucket seats that are custom-covered in a comfy
cloth with the T/A logo bird stitched into the headrests. And we
love how the custom door panels have a machine aluminum insert to
match the dash. This is quite a comfortable coupe with an AM/FM/CD
stereo, modern Pioneer speakers, center console, and ice-cold R134a
air conditioning. And while the T/A's classic three-spoke steering
wheel gives you a cool vintage feeling, the B&M shifter is
another reminder that this is an upgraded machine.
You might see the 4.9 callout on this T/A's shaker hood, but that's
just to keep the classic/sleeper vibe of this coupe. Once you look
under the hood, you see a modern 5.3-liter fuel-injected V8. This
was installed in 2010, and we have the $8,000 receipt to document
the quality upgrade. It all looks great packed into an engine bay
that still had enough room left over for some interesting touches,
such as the mean cold air intake air tube. But this Trans Am is
more than just about a high-performance bite. For example, the
4L60E four-speed automatic transmission is not only stout enough
for performance driving, but also it's an overdrive unit that is
good for highway cruising. The same can be said for the front disc
brakes and power steering. Plus, with sway bars front & rear and
the grip of Nitto Extreme Performance tires, this is a restomod
that truly handles.
We have enough receipts from the last eight years to document that
they invested nearly as much as the asking price in this coupe.
That's why you know this cool and complete T/A is one heck of a
deal. Don't miss out, call today!
