Vehicle Description
Low mileage, T-tops, WS6 package, and a slippery factory finish -
this is the kind of thing that gets any performance-minded
collector excited. So when a loaded and babied 1998 Pontiac
Firebird Trans Am WS6 is priced so within reach, you know it's time
to pay attention.
With so few miles on this car, the paint is in excellent condition.
It's believe to be all original, and the glossy black is incredibly
sharp. It creates a sleek look that loves the sunshine. Plus, the
deep and dark color makes details like awesome gold stripe package
really stand out. It's a subtle nod to the special edition T/As
from a couple generations before this, and so it's like getting to
be a modern Bandit. Even the polished alloys have gold lug covers
to make this a very well-coordinated total package. This has been a
Florida car all its life, and it has averaged less than 1,800 miles
annually. That lets you know it has been treated with respect from
day one. But this one also earns respect for its intimidation
factor. The Ran Air hood, distinct rear spoiler, and knife-like
profile that cuts through the air makes this truly worthy of the
fire-breathing bird badge.
The dark attitude continues inside with the dark gray interior.
Such few miles mean very little seat time in the leather buckets,
and the driver's one is even power adjustable. It's loaded with all
the best features like power windows, power locks, cruise control,
keyless entry, steering wheel mounted controls, AM/FM/CD stereo
with equalizer, and air conditioning. The last one is especially
nice because you can keep the car cold even when you're open to the
world with the T-tops out. Beyond just luxury features, a modern
classic also means modern safety, too. So you get items like dual
airbags and anti-lock brakes.
This is a pivotal year for the collecting a Trans Am, and the
reason why is under the hood. 1998 was the first year the upgrade
to the LS1 powerplant was available. The 5.7-liter fuel-injected
motor created one of the most potent street machines of the day,
and re-ignited the power wars in Detroit. Plus, the Ram Air hood
gives you the best breathing for this beastly V8. While it can
growl with the best of them, when it's time to eat the asphalt,
this modern classic also knows how to settle into everyday life.
And this powerful/useful dual nature is exactly how you should view
this coupe. It has great everyday features like a four-speed
transmission w/overdrive and power steering. The WS6 suspension is
another high point, with bigger sway bars and higher spring rates
than a regular Trans Am. And as you've seen from the previous
generations, the WS6 is a major draw in future desirability. Add
this to four-wheel disc brakes and modern Uniroyal Tiger Paw tires,
and we won't blame you for wanting to go out and have fun in this
highly collectable car.
So if you miss Pontiac and the power they brought to the streets,
this is your perfect second chance to get a nearly factory-fresh
classic. Don't miss out, call today!
