Pontiac Firebird 4.9L V8 4BL 1981
General description :
A true survivor! Last year of the classic Trans AM. This super clean 1981 Pontiac Trans Am only has 24559 original carfax verified miles on it and still smells like it did when it was on the dealer’s lot. This Trans Ams came with the Red exterior and a Black interior, this one with black interior which looks much better with the gold spun inserts found in the special edition cars. The car was lightly enjoyed and always garage kept over its whole life. The producers of the “Smokey and the Bandit 2” used this same style car for their feature car. This car was ordered with the high-performance suspension upgrade that had 4-wheel disc brakes, larger sway bars and stiffer springs to help this car really squat and stick to the road in hard cornering or launches. This car was special ordered exactly the way the owner wanted it including; AM/FM radio with the 8-track player, power brakes, cruise control, power steering, cold air conditioning, high-performance suspension package. This car is ALL ORIGINAL and in excellent condition. You will not find another Trans Am quite this original and car fax verified low mileage out there. This vehicle is in our Dallas showroom.
