For Sale: 1969 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am in O'Fallon, Illinois

Gateway Classic Cars of Fort Lauderdale is proud to present this 1969 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am. This is the one that started it all folks before "The Bandit" even considered giving Sheriff Buford T. Justice a bad day. The '69 Trans Am really pops in the only color combination available in '69- white with blue stripes. The nostril style hood scoops let you know it means business and has a motor to back it up. Under the hood you'll find a stout 400 cubic inch Ram Air III V8 paired to a 3 speed automatic transmission. Factory rated at 335 horsepower 430 ft. lbs. of torque, it'll shred a nice set of tires in no time. This one has a bit more cam, so it has a killer sounding idle but looks factory stock. She was a race car back in the day, lovingly restored to the gorgeous machine you see here. The interior is sharp and all business, with blue vinyl upholster and a sporty gauge cluster. How's it drive? It's a relatively light car with a whole lotta torque. You want to respect it but ring it's neck at the same time. It is happy to oblige either request. That's a nice way of saying it hauls butt. This is an investment-grade Pontiac folks. It served its time as Judge defender & Camaro spanker decades ago. Now it's time to hold it and take care of it, not beat it to death, and just watch it continue to appreciate it. The '69 Trans Am is a FIRST and a LEGEND- and this is one of only 114 automatics built out of the 688 total hardtops built. If you're looking for a sharp example of an iconic Pontiac, this is one you should consider. Options include AM radio, power brakes, power steering, vinyl interior and rally wheels.
