Vehicle Description
This 1986 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am has been transformed into a
one-of-a-kind restomod. That means you have a custom exterior,
race-inspired interior, an upgraded suspension, and a
performance-built 383ci stroker under the hood.
If you're looking for a sleeper we suggest you look elsewhere. It's
not that this one is not overly brazen, but you'll never fly under
the radar with a cowl hood rising so boldly. And the wraparound
rear spoiler looks like it's borrowed from its successor. There and
the darkness continues on the 18-inch Foose wheels and black racing
stripes painted over the top - all just to make sure this one has
an attitude. And you can see it all so well because the sleek body
is presented in quite a crisp white. In fact, while we're told much
of the restoration/transformation on this car took place about a
decade ago, the fit and finish of this T/A will put some 2020
builds to shame.
The interior shows off more of the car's dark side while also being
quite clean and inviting. You have nice velour upholstery, power
windows, a center console, cruise control, and an upgraded
AM/FM/CD/XM stereo with Bluetooth. You'll even notice nice
race-ready details, like the shift light under the cowl, a mounted
fire extinguisher, and the factory A/C deleted for pure power. And
you'll appreciate the driving experience. You have the excellent
bucket seats borrowed from a GTA, a B&M shifter, an upgraded
sports steering wheel on a tilt column, and a full set of AutoMeter
Phantom readouts.
All the extra performance flair inside and out is earned when you
see what's under the hood. This is a 383 cubic-inch stroker V8.
More than just big displacement, it's a fully enhanced and
fortified build with an Eagle rotating assembly, Brodix heads,
Jesel rockers, a Bullet Racing roller camshaft, a Brodix high-rise
intake, and topped with a Holley four-barrel carburetor. There are
also good supporting components like steel braided lines, an
electric fan, and an MSD 6AL ignition. The mighty motor exhales
with added power and authority as headers feed into an upgraded
exhaust and resonator. This is said to be dyno tested to 590
horsepower, and this certainly feels like it has the power. So to
make sure you harness it properly, there's a stout 700R4 with a
stall. It feeds into a Ford 9-inch limited-slip rear with 4.10
gears for powerful and confident take-offs. Speaking of confidence,
this has added strength with subframe connectors and a center
brace. There's also an upgraded suspension with Currie control
arms, newer bushings, Lakewood rear drag shocks, and Edelbrock
boxed trailing arms. There's also power steering, modern sport
tires, and upgraded Wilwood four-wheel disc brakes with drilled
rotors.
This is the sleek 3rd-gen Trans Am with the kind of big muscle and
flair that makes it feel like a 2nd-gen Super Duty. So it's the one
you always wanted it to have. Don't let this custom T/A slip away.
