For Sale: 1981 Pontiac Firebird in Lithia Springs, Georgia

Vehicle Description

There is nothing quite like a black Smokey and the Bandit-style 1981 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am. With the gold Firebird hood decal, gold pinstriping, and gold emblems flowing throughout the exterior, this sports car is an instant attention grabber. Original-style gold wheels at all four corners, complete with polished beauty rings, remain one of the signature staples of this classic Trans Am look. The front end presents well, and the rear spoiler and tail section follow suit with the same clean appearance. As a T-top car, it delivers that open-air driving experience that made these cars so popular in the early '80s. The correct fender vents are present, upgraded headlights add a modern touch, and all seals and weather stripping appear to be in good condition.

Inside, the interior is clean and nicely restored. Black leather with checkered cloth inserts covers the seats and door panels, giving the cabin a sporty factory-style appearance. The front seats are aftermarket units with bolsters and headrests for added comfort and support. A stock-style OEM steering wheel sits ahead of the factory gauge cluster, framed by a factory-style aluminum dashboard bezel. The center console is in good shape and houses the floor shifter along with the power window switches. An Alpine head unit powers Alpine speakers throughout the cabin, offering an updated sound system while keeping the interior looking tidy. Carpets, door jambs, door sill plates, and the trunk area are all clean and well presented.

Under the hood, the engine bay features plenty of chrome accents. Chrome valve covers, a chrome alternator, and a chrome A/C compressor bring the shine, complemented by a polished aluminum serpentine belt system. Fuel is delivered through a Holley carburetor mounted on a Weiand Street Warrior intake, paired with Edelbrock heads, all feeding the stout 350 cubic-inch V8. Backing the engine is a 700R4 automatic transmission sending power to a 10-bolt rear axle. The suspension retains a factory-style setup with the addition of a Detroit Speed front sway bar. Gold stock-style 17-inch wheels wrapped in 275/40ZR17 tires sit at all four corners. And for that right muscle car sound, this Trans Am is equipped with long-tube headers, dual exhaust with an X-pipe, and MagnaFlow mufflers.
