Gateway Classic Cars of Houston is proud to offer this special 1987
Pontiac Firebird TransAm. This black-over-silver TA has been
customized with a bunch of custom upgrades. Starting with its 350
CID V8 GMPP crate engine that has been upgraded to 1990 L98
Corvette specifications, including reconditioned L98 aluminum heads
(done by Dale Parker), complete with new heavy duty valve springs,
new valves, and roller rockers. This mighty mouse is also enhanced
with an L98 Corvette-spec roller cam, Edelbrock upgraded TPI
system, ported upper and lower intakes, larger diameter throttle
body, and new injectors. An SLP cold air intake system helps
improve the volume of air fed to the motor, along with reducing its
temperature, further enhancing the power output potential. A custom
exhaust system sucks the spent gases out, and provides a nice
rumble out back, as well. Helping get the power to the ground are a
new 700R4 4-speed automatic trans, new aluminum driveshaft, and a
set of 3.42:1 gears with PosiTrac differential. Not only has the
drivetrain been substantially enhanced, but so has the rest of the
car. It also has a Wilwood brake-bias proportioning valve, new
front and rear springs, new gas shocks, new GPA "cross-lace"
wheels, and 245/50-ZR16 BFG g-Force TA tires at all 4 corners.
Inside, it has GTA-style door panels, leather seating surfaces,
10-way power adjustable front seats from a 2002 Trans Am, new
console, new carpet, new headliner, new sunvisors, a new console,
new inner rear quarter panel covers, new kick panels, and a locking
cargo area cover and side storage. In addition, it has a complete
electronic dash (a rare option for '87-'88 Firebirds) with digital
fluorescent gages and warning system for open doors and lamps, plus
electronic solenoid-operated controls for HVAC functions, and a
2002 steering column (to accommodate the steering wheel-mounted
radio controls). The radio is a 2005 model year GM radio system
with RDS, MP3, CD, AM-FM, and XM capabilities, and the speakers
have been upgraded to Pioneer 4-way units. The rear view mirror is
also a step up from what it came with, and has compass, temp,
Homelink, map lights, and electro-photochromic capability
(auto-dimming LCD mirror). Even the paint has been refreshed on
this beauty - the black over silver color scheme was redone by
Kelly's Paint and Body Shop, and all tape appliques and emblems are
correct for the year model, including the large hood "Bird" decal,
which was available on 1986 1/2 and 1987 Trans Ams. Additonal
options available on this unique, custom 1987 Firebird Trans Am
include Air Conditioning (complete with a new AC compressor),
Aluminum Wheels, AM/FM/XM/CD/Cassette, Cruise Control, Electric
Mirrors, Keyless Entry, Leather Seating, Lumbar Supported-Power
seats (front), Power Brakes, Power Locks, Power Steering, Power
Windows, Posi-Trac, Radial Tires, Seat Belts, T-Tops, and Tilt
Wheel. For more information on this 1987 Pontiac Trans Am for sale,
