1981 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am

Description

This 1981 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am has been given some cool investments inside and out. You'll especially want to check out the custom interior that's both luxurious and a true Bandit fan. It makes this a distinct T-top coupe that plays by its own rules.

A formal black with a tribute to Special Edition trim makes this an instant icon. A lovely gloss on the finish highlights your favorite aggressive pieces, like the fender vents, integrated spoiler, and shaker hood. The black is the perfect backdrop for the many gold-colored details, including the Trans Am markings on the fenders and the intricate pinstriping package. And it's not a Bandit-level T/A without that big hood bird boldly leading the way. As you look over the whole car, you'll notice it's not perfect, but it's right for a driver's car. And that's the exact attitude you'll see throughout the presentation. That's why you have thoughtful details like wheels that look like the iconic snowflake alloys but are a larger 17-inch size so you can fit better modern performance tires.

The interior has a unique tan and brown full presentation. You'll love this two-tone everywhere, from the textured door panels to the bandit insignias stitched into the seatbacks. Plus, the pattern with the vented inserts in the center looks like they were borrowed from a Ferrari. And speaking of fantastic sports cars, it's a terrific driver's package with full gauges, a machine-turned panel, a tilt steering column, and a classic T/A sports steering wheel now wrapped in brown. There are excellent features like power windows, cruise control, an armrest center console, and working interior lights. You may want to restore the air conditioning, upgrade the stereo, or update other details, but overall, the custom look of the interior is worth it. And the T-tops mean you can easily share it all with the world!

This one started life as a turbo Trans Am, and while it keeps its original V8, removing the turbocharger means they could return this to an iconic shaker hood-style setup. So this is a 4.9-liter powerhouse topped with a four-barrel carburetor. And the way this one fires up and runs lets you know that they have given the motor the proper attention recently. It makes for a great cruiser, especially paired with the three-speed automatic transmission with highway-friendly overdrive. And this Trans Am has more great driving features like power steering, power brakes, front discs, grippy ZR-rated tires, and sway bars front and rear.

This Pontiac has the iconic T/A look outside, a custom/cool look inside, and a proper driver's feel. So it's time to get your hands on a great T-top T/A. Call now!
