Motors.) The 1982�€"92 Pontiac Trans Am is still the epitome of
'80s cool �€" Hagerty, May 2019 The Hagerty writers continued: The
1982 update to the Trans Am was a drastic one. Pontiac managed to
shed a full 400 pounds from the outgoing 1981 as well as chop 11
inches in overall length. Pontiac traded the anemic 301 Poncho V-8
for the similarly poor performing 305 Chevy with optional,
yawn-inducing Cross-Fire injection. Where the Trans Am really
started to gain its stride back was with the introduction of Tuned
Port Injection. With the new multi-port EFI system, Pontiac was
finally able to crest the 200 horsepower mark in 1985. Yes, the
dark days of emissions-restricted power were beginning to fade.
Offered here is a 1986 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am in redr over gray.
This Trans Am has been driven just 35,902 miles, or roughly 1,000
miles per-year since new. The car's condition is excellent overall
with only some minor flaws. Overall, the car's exterior red body
paint retains excellent gloss across all body panels. There are no
dings, no dents, no other damage anywhere on the sheet metal. The
black rear spoiler is complete and undamaged. Lightly tinted cabin
glass (and lighting lenses, including in the pop-up headlights) are
clear and uncracked. The rear-glass hatch is clear and operates
properly. The large Firebird graphic icon in silver on the car's
hood, as well as Firebird and Trans Am identification on the front
fenders and b-pillar are complete, correctly applied, and in
excellent condition. The smoked rear taillight bar, with Firebird
icon emblem, is undamaged. Original, Pontiac-branded,
angled-5-spoke alloy wheels are mounted with Yokohama® performance
tires. Inside, the vertically pleated velour upholstery, in two
shades of gray, has been well maintained overall. (There is
wear-damage on the driver's seatback bolster and some discoloration
on areas of the upholstery.) Door trim features a square design and
matching colors theme. (There is loose fabric noted on the driver's
door.) The combination of high-back front bucket seats and foldable
rear seats makes for flexible configuration for cargo. Cabin
carpeting is dark gray (including in the cargo area) protected by
Pontiac-branded carpet mats up front. A black, padded leather,
Firebird-icon-embossed steering wheel frames the black dashboard's
four large, analog instruments including speedometer, tachometer,
and two engine-monitoring gauges. Instrument lenses are clear and
graphic markings are crisp. HVAC controls are located in the
lower-center dash, with a Pioneer® audio head unit installed in
place of the factory audio unit (which is included in the sale).
The center console houses the angled, leather-covered t-shifter for
the automatic transmission, and power-window controls, with storage
under the center armrest. All switchgear control surfaces in the
cabin retain their like-new condition. A small Performance Tuned
Suspension badge faces the front passenger. Under the hood, the
5-liter V8 with Tuned Port Injection identification commands a
properly organized, nicely clean, stock engine bay. There have been
no performance mods added, no factory-mounted components deleted.
Hoses and wiring are properly routed and undamaged. Viewed from
below, the car's chassis is similarly complete and undamaged. The
car's build data-tag and VIN stamping remain as mounted at
