Pontiac Firebird Trans Am 30th Anniversary Edition 1999
General description :
There certainly was a lot of ballyhoo about Pontiac's love of dramatic styling during the final days of the vaunted Firebird Trans Am. Disenfranchised scribes, suffering a vanilla sedan apocalypse that was, no doubt, largely of their own creation, loudly belittled the car and the Pontiac division at large for its 'tacky cladding' and 'overwrought scoops'. But those critics not only missed the plot, they totally missed the point. You see, it's cars like this fully documented, 3,919-mile Trans Am 30th Anniversary Edition that, now 23 years into the future, grace finer showrooms and parade through car meets almost as often as they parade through Millennial car collectors' minds. In fact, so monumental were these LS-powered beasts that, despite the better performance offered by later paladins like the GTO, G8 and Solstice, many folks consider them the last of the great Pontiacs. And that, friends, is exactly how a classic becomes a classic: performance AND style AND stirring emotion. So, if you're one of the many up-and-coming collectors who's ready to break into our hobby with some metal that inspires, endures and kicks major asphalt, why not start right here with the very best of the best?
