Gateway Classic Cars Tampa Showroom is FIRED UP to digitally
present this screaming 1975 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am. In the mid
70's the Z28 was dead. The Corvette was a pathetic 165hp slug, and
the Mustang...well never mind. However, the Trans Am was the
defiant General Motors step child refusing to sit down and be
quiet. The consigner of this gorgeous bird is in his 80s now but
purchased the car in 1976 and never let it go. When we asked how
his wife reacted when he pulled in the driveway after purchasing
the then like new car he stated, "She was not happy." Quite the car
guy, the owner recently decided to make the Trans Am better, much
better. In 2017 the car was beautifully resprayed in its original
Buccaneer Red. (75L75U). Don't be fooled, she looks stock and if
you're thinking this is simply a meager 200hp poncho from the 70s,
you'd be sadly mistaken. Under the hood rests a Butler big block
cranking out an estimated 500hp. Real Pontiac people know Butler.
Enough said. Keeping the torque monster civil on the streets is a
Tremec 5-speed transmission and you won't find the paltry ten bolt
GM rear diff underneath but a 9" Ford assembly with 3.90 gears. But
wait there's more. Doug's ceramic headers, QA1 coil overs, Wilwood
brakes, tubular upper and lower control arms, aluminum radiator,
electric fans, serpentine pulley system and a killer sound
system....we are running out of space here. Gear heads know that
2nd Gen Firebirds are on everyone's list and we dare you to find
another that is basically a one owner, garage kept car. You can see
this one on the showroom floor of our Tampa location.
