Pontiac Firebird 6.6 Liter V8 1977
General description :
AFFORDABLE BANDIT, 6.6L 400 V8, AUTO, PS, PB W/DISC, COLD R134 A/C, DRIVES GREAT
Here's a legendary black 1977 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am. The car is a true American icon thanks to Hollywood. But when you see a coupe with V8 power, ice-cold A/C, and an affordable price, you soon realize that you can meet this idol because it won't disappoint.
1977 was the year Smokey and the Bandit was released, so it seems like the ideal time to have a black and gold T/A. The Starlight Black was applied later in life, and so it retains a nice gloss in the sunshine. All the gold pinstriping and accents are complete and looking good, too. It follows all the main lines of the car, including around the fender flares, windows, and accents the beak-like front end to really make this Firebird look like it's flying down the highway. Of course the best bird is the iconic war bird that everyone looks for on these T/As, and as expected, this one is finished in a bold gold. But arguably, the best golden shine comes from the iconic snowflake-style wheels. Plus, as a proper Trans Am, you get everything else you love – from the shaker on the hood to the full-width rear spoiler.
Inside the same color theme continues. After all, the tan interior goes nicely with the exterior gold, and some of your favorite pieces are finished in black – like the sports steering wheel. This is a comfortable place to spend some time with the high-back bucket seats, a tilt steering column, and an armrest center console. They even upgraded it to be comfier for modern times with features like an AM/FM/CD stereo w/aux input and ice-cold R134a air conditioning. But this coupe is more than just a coddler, and you know that the moment you spot the machine-turned dash with full gauge package, including the cool tach/clock combo.
With 400 cubic-inches under the hood, you'll find very few people willing to call the big V8's block color "baby" blue. This is a year-correct powerplant, and it has been dressed up for show with bright valve covers and that factory shaker looking crisp. The V8 inhales deeply with a the four-barrel carburetor, and it exhales with authority out of those bright dual pipes underneath both sides of the rear bumper. Features like power steering and the three-speed automatic transmission make this classic easy to drive in town. And the front disc brakes and sway bars front & rear make this a blast out in the country, too.
Nicely finished, correctly upgraded, and priced right – this is the right year for a black T/A, so don't let this one slip away. Call today!!!
