Vehicle Description
This 1980 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am has a mean all-black style, V8
power, four on the floor, four-wheel disc brakes, and more. It
makes for the kind of driver's T/A that delivers everything you
want, including an affordable price.
Black always seems to have an appeal on classics. The paint was
upgraded later in life, and that means there's a nice gloss that
delivers a modern shine on a sunny day. We all love the sporty
details, and the SE's gold package does a terrific job of
highlighting it all on the Endura front bumper, hood scoop, fender
flares, and full-width rear spoiler. And of course, no T/A would be
complete without the hood bird boldly leading the way. Newer rubber
seals, clean glass, and an extra sharp style to the iconic
snowflake wheels make for a proper icon. It's an attractive package
that also never loses the driver-quality and driver-ready style
that makes it such a great car to hit the road.
The blackout style continues inside. Just like the exterior, this
was an upgrade later in life, so the velour upholstery, carpeting,
headliner, and door panels all have the look of a newer investment.
There are plenty of cool stock features that are a good display and
could even be restored, like the Delco stereo of factory air
conditioning (only the controls remain.) But the real appeal here
is how this T/A has a terrific driver-oriented setup. Your right
hand gravitates toward the Hurst shifter. Your left one loves the
grippy sports steering wheel, and it's mounted on a tilt column so
you get a good view of the full gauges in the sporty machine-turned
panel.
When you lift the hood, the first thing people see is the cool
shaker. But what we really like is that beneath is a 400 cubic inch
V8 and a four-barrel carburetor on top. There are good fundamentals
in place, like a newer wiring harness, a newer master cylinder, and
a nice set of headers feeding into the dual exhaust. So it's a
great base for some weekend tinkering for you to dial in your ideal
balance of power and overall cruising attitude. And you'll
especially love the four-speed manual transmission that always puts
you in the center of the action. Plus, power steering, a rear sway
bar, wide BF Goodrich tires, and four-wheel power disc brakes
complete a package that makes this powerful coupe ready for the
road.
Dark style and big fun are the calling card of this stick-shift
T/A. So don't miss out, call today!
