Pontiac Firebird 305 CID V8 1992
General description :
For sale in our Chicago showroom is this 1992 Pontiac Firebird Trans-Am Convertible. As the last year in the 3rd generation of the Firebird, all of the kinks have been worked out of the design. Powered by a 305 CID V8 Tuned-Port Injection V8 and backed by a 4-speed automatic transmission, this ‘Bird is ready to fly! The engine fires right up, courtesy of the fuel injection, and has plenty of power to scoot you all over town. Originally owned by a GM automobile collector, the car saw a few weekend miles, but little else. It was eventually sold to his son who kept it as a weekend cruiser, and is now presented for sale here. It is obvious that care has been taken from day 1, and with the exception of the notorious clear-coat peeling around the spoiler, the car is in fantastic shape. Climbing inside is like loading into a fighter jet. The seats hug you firmly and the dash seems to wrap around you. The flip-up headlights function smoothly and quickly, and all of the gauges read true. The seats are plush and have had covers on them virtually from new. The top offers plenty of protection from poor weather, should you need to drive this classic in the rain. Once the weather gets nice, just drop the top and soak in the sunshine. As the final year of a 3rd generation, which has been steadily climbing in value, this is a true collectors piece. Options on this ‘92 Pontiac Firebird Trans-Am include: Air-Conditioning, AM/FM/Cassette, Manual Convertible Top, Cruise Control, Power Brakes, Power Steering, Power Locks, Power Windows, Tilt Wheel, Seat Belts, Drivers Airbag, Cloth Interior, Radial Tires, and Alloy Wheels.
