One of only 885 Trans Ams produced in 1971 with the potent 455 H.O.
motor and four-speed manual transmission, this Pontiac Firebird
Trans Am stands as a genuine muscle car legend. Finished in Cameo
White with iconic blue stripes, this Trans Am maintains its classic
Firebird styling with its aggressive front end, dual scoops, and
muscular profile. The clean lines flow from front to back,
complemented by the properly fitted body panels and excellent panel
gaps. The 15-inch wheels wearing F60-15 tires complete the look,
giving this Trans Am an imposing road presence without sacrificing
the classic aesthetic that made these cars famous.
The black vinyl interior offers both comfort and sportiness with
bucket seats that maintain good cushioning. The dashboard presents
well with clear, functional gauges, while the center console with
its shifter creates a driver-focused environment. The door panels
and rear quarters show good care throughout, maintaining the
original design integrity. The black carpeting fits properly and
shows only minor signs of use, while the headliner remains taut.
The AM/FM cassette player offers audio entertainment, though the
factory clock has stopped ticking. Air conditioning keeps the cabin
comfortable during summer cruises, making this Trans Am as
enjoyable on the inside as it is impressive on the outside.
The numbers-matching 455 H.O. V8 engine is the star of the
mechanical show, paired perfectly with the Muncie M22 four-speed
manual transmission. This powertrain delivers remarkable
performance for a classic of this vintage. The single Quadrajet
four-barrel carburetor handles fuel delivery with precision, while
the correct Winters intake manifold maintains factory authenticity.
The power disc brakes up front provide strong stopping capability,
and the power steering makes handling this muscle car a joy. The
dual exhaust with Dynomax mufflers produces a rich, throaty sound
that announces this Trans Am's performance credentials without
being overly aggressive.
