Description : Gateway Classic Cars of Indianapolis is proud to present this 1996 Pontiac Firebird. The New York Yankees are the new World Series Champions! Michael Jordan and the Bulls take the NBA Championship for the second year! For the first time, you are learning to play Pokeman and pretending you know all the moves to the Macarena. 1996. Awww, memories. Gateway Classics Cars of Indiana is happy to offer you another one - this sharp '96, screaming red Convertible Firebird Formula, Trans Am. It will take you back, powered by its much loved LT1 V-8, an engine identical to the C4 Corvette except for a slightly less aggressive flow intake and exhaust.
This is the car you couldn't remember the color of the top, because you never had it up, and carried a towel in, so your honey wouldn't fry the back of her legs on the black leather seats. The fourth generation pumped up the volume on the aerodynamic styling, dropping the nose, trimming the trunk and has the WS6 Performance package with live rear axle. Pontiac knew what is was doing, with 90 percent of the parts in the '96 Formulas being new, including the innovative no-rust body panels, improving on its 3rd generation predecessor.
The owner of this sweet ride won't be a scrub, with air conditioning, power windows, AM FM/ CD, keyless entry, power locks/brakes, dual airbags, short/longarm suspension, 17 inch 5 spoke chrome rims and the added Booyah of the dual-inlet "Ram-Air" hood, complemented by the requisite black canvas bra with a zip in, "I'm sorry officer, I didn't know the bra was coving the front license plate."
1996 doesn't have to live in the past if you make this sporty beauty yours
