Vehicle Description
Not all Trans Ams are created equal. This 1998 Pontiac Firebird
Trans Am not only has a great looking bodykit, but it's also the
first year for the LS1 option. That's still not enough for you? How
about adding a supercharger to give you 475 hp on this ultra-low
mileage modern muscle car.
The factory Sport Gold Metallic finish is the right idea for this
Firebird because it truly is precious metal. 1998 was the first
year for the restyled 4th generation cars. The design allowed the
car to grow into its angular body much better. This is only
amplified by a special color-matching bodykit that gives this car
an extra flair of aggression. The factory gold paint still has so
much luster today, that you know this car has truly been babied for
the few thousand miles it has traveled. And while the spectacular
paint already provides plenty of shine, the 18-inch Foose wheels
add that extra helping of look-at-me brightness. You can instantly
tell this Firebird is ready for flight with the custom black stripe
package that begins at the iconic screaming chicken on the hood and
runs all the way back over rear wing. Best of all this is a T-top
coupe, which means you get the convertible wind-in-your-hair
feeling without giving up the rigidity of a roof section.
Pontiac's stylists did one heck of a job with the Trans Am's
interior by visually separating it from its cousin Camaro and
giving it a unique look. Deeply sculpted leather buckets are
supportive enough for the spirited driving that this car
encourages, and as the top-of-the-line machine, just about
everything was standard equipment. That means air conditioning,
power windows, power locks, keyless entry, dual airbags, cruise
control, tilt wheel, and power seats. This one is so original it
even comes with the factory premium Monsoon AM/FM/cassette stereo
with seven-band equalizer and 12-disc CD changer in the trunk (you
can also control this from the steering wheel.) In fact, the only
item that you'll recognize that's not from the factory is the boost
gauge below the A/C controls, and that makes this one extra
special.
The 1998 redesign also meant the Corvette's LS1 aluminum block V8
became available. This fuel-injected 5.7-liter is one of the most
celebrated performance motors of its time, but the upgrades to this
Trans Am didn't stop there. The added Vortec supercharger has been
claimed to give this one 475 hp (we do not have a dyno to prove
this). Although this car did not come from the factory with the WS6
package, it appears to have some of its features such as larger
front sway bars, quad-snout Ram Air intake with larger air box, and
badging. And when you really want to be noticed at the car show,
with the press of a button you can open the electric exhaust
cutouts to really let the exhaust breathe! This Pontiac might have
all the right go-fast features, but because it's a modern classic,
it's also everyday comfortable. This includes the convenience of a
four-speed automatic w/overdrive, which provides enough gears to be
quick off the line as well as cruise comfortably on the highway.
Plus, there's power steering, four-wheel disc brakes, and ABS. But
as easy as it is to pilot this Pontiac, it has never been a daily
driver. It has been cherished like a classic all its life and has
averaged less than 850 miles per year.
A Pontiac like this is already a once in a lifetime opportunity, so
we know the affordable price means it's going fast. Call
