The third generation Pontiac Firebird arrived on the scene in 1981,
after some 15 years of production following on with the
second-cultural relevance and generation styling with appearances
in such massively popular movies like "Smokey and the Bandit. The
third generation of the Pontiac Firebird finally went on sale in
1982 and was lightly sculpted and designed more for agility rather
than straight-line speed. Along with some more pop culture fame
this was to also become an '80s poster car. Weight and aerodynamic
efficiency were the latest advantages of the 1982 Firebird, losing
around 500 pounds on average from the year before. It was also the
first Firebird to be designed with the help of a wind tunnel,
ensuring that it cut through the air instead of fighting it like
earlier models with a new sloped roof and pop-up headlights which
were both functional additions and key styling features.The value
of 1982 Pontiac Firebirds in the modern age is obviously completely
contingent on the model being sold. In 1982, the Firebird was
offered in a number of different trim levels including the base
model, SE, and the ultimate Trans Am model as per this patricular
example. A 1982 Trans Am was to also become the talking car Kitt in
the seminal 1980s TV series "Knight Rider," which elevated the
third-generation Firebird to legendary status. This particular
Firebird Trans Am model must be seen to be believed and driven to
be fully appreciated - the car drives as good as it looks with no
shakes or rattles and the considerable power of it's 305 5.0 litre
4BBL V8 engine with only 32K original miles! There are no oil
leaks, the transmission shifts smoothly through the gears and the
temperature always remains cool. Drives virtually like a new car -
you could hardly tell the difference! This is one very unique and
ridiculously attractive car and this must surely be one of the
finest and lowest mileage example's of this rare first year of the
third generation 1982 Pontiac Trans Am models available anywhere!
