Vehicle Description
In the automotive world, some cars transcend their time, becoming
symbols of a bygone era while still commanding respect and
admiration. This 1987 Pontiac Firebird Pro Am is one such car. One
of just 442 examples built by the Chattanooga Custom Center (CCC)
of Tennessee, this stunning vehicle represents a unique chapter in
American automotive craftsmanship. Car number 155 in this exclusive
series, this Firebird is a rare opportunity to own a slice of
Pontiac history, expertly enhanced by the same company renowned for
its custom Choo Choo SS El Caminos, Silverados, and conversion
vans.
Originally manufactured by GM at their Norwood, Ohio facility in
February of 1987, this Firebird was among the final vehicles
produced before the plant's closure later that year. Its journey
continued to the CCC, where it underwent a transformative
customization process. The Pro Am treatment elevated the car far
beyond a standard Firebird, equipping it with striking custom
ground effects, polished 15" CCC wheels fitted with BF Goodrich
tires, a fiberglass cowl hood scoop, unique exhaust tips, wood dash
inlays, and distinctive Pro Am decals. The result was a car that
blended the sporty performance of Pontiac with the craftsmanship
and flair of CCC's design expertise.
Upon completion at CCC, this Firebird was shipped to Moorman
Pontiac of Dayton, Ohio, where it was sold on May 23, 1987, to a
local couple. The car, which replaced their 1984 Chevy S-10 pickup,
has been cherished ever since, accumulating only 24,447 original
miles over its lifetime. Its pristine condition speaks volumes
about the care it has received and its historical significance as
an award-winning example of the Pro Am series. It boasts a First
Place Grand National award, a Senior Grand National award, and a
national accolade from the AACA, affirming its status as a
collector's dream.
Beneath the hood, the heart of this Firebird is a potent 5.0-liter
V8 engine, paired with a four-speed automatic transmission.
Together, they deliver the smooth yet commanding performance that
enthusiasts expect from a Pontiac of this era. The driving
experience is further elevated by a host of luxurious amenities,
including the Luxury Trim Group option, power windows and locks,
cruise control, and cold-blowing air conditioning. The removable
glass roof panels, complete with sun shields, add a touch of
versatility, allowing you to enjoy open-air motoring on sunny
days.
Step inside, and you're greeted by an interior that exudes classic
American comfort and style. The red cloth upholstery contrasts
beautifully with the crisp white exterior, creating a timeless
aesthetic. The wood dash inlays, a signature CCC touch, lend an air
of sophistication to the cabin. The Delco cassette stereo ensures
that you can enjoy your favorite tunes as you cruise down the road,
blending modern functionality with retro charm.
This Firebird isn't just a car; it's a story. From its origins in
Norwood to its transformation by CCC, and finally to its showroom
debut in Dayton, it has been a carefully preserved and celebrated
piece of Pontiac's rich legacy. Its clean Carfax report and
remarkable condition make it not only a head-turner but also a
reliable and ready-to-enjoy classic. Whether you're taking it to
shows or simply relishing the experience of driving a piece of
history, this Pro Am Firebird promises to delight at every
turn.
For collectors and enthusiasts alike, opportunities like this don't
come around often. A true piece of American automotive history,
this 1987 Pontiac Firebird Pro Am offers unparalleled
craftsmanship, rarity, and provenance. From its award-winning
pedigree to its low mileage and stunning presentation, this is a
car that will continue to captivate hearts and command respect
wherever it goes.
