Vehicle Description
1994 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am 25th Anniversary Coupe
A beloved symbol of 1970s car culture. An icon of disco era design.
A redneck's red-letter regalia. It's gaudy. Garish. Tacky. Even
vulgar. And we love it. This is the story of Pontiac's Screaming
Chicken, the largest and most recognizable decal in automotive
history. Lost to time is the name of the man that first referred to
the graphic as a "Screaming Chicken." The nickname came quickly. By
the late 1970s, even Car and Driver was using the label. No doubt
derogatory, over time the epithet has become one of endearment,
although the brand's hardest purists still hate it. That bunch
landed on "hood bird" four decades ago and refused to budge. Others
go with "Rising Phoenix" or simply "Firebird." The ignorant usually
refer to the massive flaming fowl as an Eagle or a Hawk.
This rounded off, simplified design year version of the iconic
Firebird right out of 1994 flies into our Hallowed Halls as an all
original,former California 17,099 title verified actual mile car.
Always well cared for, and never beaten....complete with its Bright
White leather wrapped owners manual, original window sticker and
build sheet, 1994 never looked so good!
Exterior
Bright White basecoat and clearcoat adorn the straight panels of
this car. Virtually no chrome and all composite bumpers on the
front and rear come together to form this aerodynamic Anniversary
edition of the Trans Am. The lines of this car blend seamlessly to
form the final shape, all smooth and aerodynamic. All Bright White
with blue decal center stripe, and the "screaming chicken" on the
nose in the middle of hidden headlight smoothness. A rakish front
glass framed in black trimmings is at the pause of the blue stripe
to make room for the removable smoke glass T-tops on the roof as we
work our way to the back of the car. A nice large curved greenhouse
rear glass melts into a rear spoiler which is nicely rounded to
match the curvature of the glass. This frames the rear of the car
as well, and just above another composite bumper is an elongated
oval of honeycombed taillights and black plastic with center
badging. Tailpipes are peeking out of the rear roll pan and look as
though they have been molded into the body. White 5 spoke wheels
are on all 4 corners wrapped in like new 245/50ZR16 black
walls.
Interior
Pristine sculpted door panels appear as though they were shaped by
the wind. Utilizing white inserts and black molded plastic to form
the integrated armrest/door pull/power toggle housing and the
speaker, all with the 25th Trans Am badge in the white field.
Slipping inside, beautifully sculpted white leather buckets keep
the wind-swept forming scheme, and these have black tubs they fit
within. 2 more of these beautiful buckets are in the back, no
separated by the hump and all of this seating appears as nearly new
with only very light folds to note in the driver's bucket. Racing
forward is a center console which has a glovebox, shift lever and
cup holder. As the dash rises temp controls and an AM/FM/CD stereo
with a built in equalizer is neatly mounted into this central
space. A trio of round vents are near the center of the dash top.
More windswept sculpting for the instrument cluster which has a
beautifully curved arch with analog gauges in the cluster. Charcoal
carpeting floods the floors and is very clean, as is the headliner
that divides the T-tops. Lest I forget, more embroidery for the
headrests noting the 25th Trans Am. Underneath that rear greenhouse
glass is a charcoal felted trunk tub and a flat upper storage
area.
Drivetrain
A 5.7 liter LT1 V8, which is rated at 275 horses is under the hood.
There is a slight overall patina and some light corrosion on cast
aluminum parts and we note the addition of an aftermarket cold air
intake. EFI feeds the fires within and a 4L60E 4-speed automatic is
strapped to the back of this original mill. Way back is a 10-bolt
3.23 posi rear axle.
Undercarriage
Showroom fresh with only a light peppering of surface rust and very
clean floor pans and toe kicks. Otherwise its miles of grayish
white steel for the unibody, flooring and rockers. Independent coil
spring suspension for the front, and a torque arm with coil springs
for the rear are seen and power disc brakes are all around. The OEM
single exhaust with dual tailpipes handle the big exhale and
provide the perfect V8 burble.
Drive-Ability
A quick starter, smooth driver and some nice power. Overall a great
experience in a low mileage and spotlesslykept car. All in working
condition and all creating tons of smiles. While we wanted to take
a few extra hot laps around our test track we refrained so as to
keep the mileage super low.
Right out of 1994, this white and blue striped bird is ready to
have its key turned and driven away for more fun. A great
investment car with a spotless interior and exterior, the
originalbuild sheet and window sticker. Look at it as your mini
"screaming chicken "Firebird lighting the tires up.
