Pontiac Firebird 1985
General description :
For sale in our Saint Louis Showroom is a very clean 1985 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am. The third generation of the Pontiac Firebird Trans Am ran from 1982 to 1992. The 1985 Trans Am received design improvements including extended quarter panels, a reshaped nose (including fog lights), functional hood nostrils, and different taillights. This 2-owner Trans Am was repainted in 1988 by the dealer under warranty. The burgundy paint has been babied ever since, as it looks fantastic, especially considering its age. The grey cloth interior is also in very good condition, showing minimal signs of wear and aging. Powering this 85 Trans Am is the original 305 CID V8 engine that is mated to a 5-speed Borg Warner manual transmission. Not many of the Trans Ams in the 80s featured a 5-speed manual transmission, and finding one today proves to be difficult. The odometer reads 70,952, which represents the actual mileage on the car. Options for this 1985 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am include Air Conditioning, AM/FM Radio with Cassette Player, Cruise Control, Power Steering, Power Brakes, Cloth Interior, Seat Belts, Radial Tires, and Aluminum/Alloy Wheels. This rare 5-speed manual Trans AM fires right up and is ready for a new owner to enjoy it on a daily basis or just on nice sunny days.
