Pontiac Firebird 305 V8 1985
General description :
1985 Pontiac Trans Am The Firebird origin started back in the age of muscle cars of the 60s and the 3rd generation of Firebird/Trans Ams started in 1981. This was the first generation that featured fuel injected motors and also came with redesigns like the hatchback top. The Trans Am version was the performance model for Firebird which typically incorporated better suspension/handling, more horsepower and some exterior upgrades. This 1985 Trans Am is a nice all original car painted in a metallic Blue and Silver combination. Up front the car has the pop up headlights with the large taillight panels in back which was a very popular look for the time. The wheels are the special ordered Aero Tech 16 inch aluminum 20 slot wheels wrapped with Ventus HRII tires. Another change for this year was the offering of a fuel injected 305 motor which this one was ordered with. It starts up and runs well. The surrounding engine compartment matches the body color and has the Red cross brace in between the shock towers. The motor is paired with an automatic transmission that runs through the gears with no problems. The interior is complete in the original two tone Gray cloth. It has dual buckets up front and foldable buckets in back. Between the front seats runs the original center console that houses the power window controls, emergency brake and t-handle shifter. The stereo is an AM/FM/Cassette and the dash has the stock AC/Heat, gauges, and switches. Pop the rear hatch and you will find plenty of storage space and a retractable cover to block it from view or let the sun in. If you are looking for an inexpensive sports car to cruise around in or tinker with here it is. This car has been sold! Please check out our other ads!
