21,825 Actual Mile Firebird Trans Am 4.9 Liter Turbo V8 3 Speed PS A/C
Beginning life in Van Nuys, California, this special edition Trans Am is one of the rawest Pontiacs we've ever offered. Thanks to three decades of good maintenance and super low mileage, the car presents well enough to sit proudly at the local show. A deep coat of correct Starlight Black single-stage covers what appear to be 100% original body panels that are straight, rock-solid and free of waves and major imperfections. Because those panels have never been fully disassembled, they still display factory-accurate gaps that are surprisingly tight. And, on top of that fit, a fresh set of full outlining stripes perfectly complements a 2-tone 'turbo bird' hood decal. Under that decal you'll find a correct, 4.9 liter V8 that makes substantially more twist than the mighty 6.6 liter it replaced while being significantly more efficient. Originally conceived as an economy offering, the Pontiac 301 was beefed up with a better block design, thicker gaskets, a mild camshaft, lower compression pistons, a rolled fillet crank and an electronic spark controller in preparation for a Garrett TBO-305 turbocharger. Once that turbo was installed, it created a waste-limited 9 PSI of boost and helped the reborn 301 achieve 236 horsepower and a serious 345 lb./ft. of torque. Behind that force-fed engine, a stalwart Turbo-Hydramatic 350 sends power to a standard GM 10-bolt. At the ends of the car, an optional WS6 suspension, which includes power steering, thicker sway bars, better shocks and stiffer springs, combine with 4-wheel power disc brakes to provide quick stops and great handling. And at the corners of the car, torque flows to the pavement through gold turbo wheels, which spin 225/70R15 BF Goodrich Radial T/As around correct 'gold bird' center caps. With its cool engine, monochromatic interior and sparse original miles, this has to be one of the most exclusive turbo Trans Am's on the planet!
