Pontiac Firebird Trans Am 350 V8 Crate 1980
General description :
Description
It's not just this 1980 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am has an awesomely sleek and ultra-desirable Bandit-style appearance. It's that this iconic sports car also gives you everything else you want, too. A fresh/powerful crate V8, T-tops, new suspension, an A/C interior, and many more investments mean this is the turn-key stunner Bandit T/A you've been waiting for.
It's hard to argue that these cars ever look better than when they're dressed in formal black with a tribute to Special Edition trim like this coupe. The paint is a more recent upgrade, and so there's a nice gloss and shine from a quality application. The luster loves to highlight your favorite aggressive pieces, like the fender vents, integrated spoiler, and shaker hood. Plus, the black is the perfect backdrop for the many gold-colored details that feel like they leap off the glossy bodywork. The Trans Am markings on the fenders and rear looks terrific, and that iconic hood bird has an instant Smokey and the Bandit appeal. And more than just a movie star, there is serious appeal in a car that looks sharp, right down to the iconic snowflake alloys.
Open the door to a well-done interior. The high-back bucket seats, door panels, carpeting, and center console have that crisp dark look of freshness. The whole presentation has the look of quality where you'll love taking out T-tops and share this package with the world. This is quite a comfortable coupe with the right modern amenities you want, like an AM/FM stereo w/Bluetooth, power windows, power steering, and ice-cold air conditioning. You'll have the grip of the T/A's classic three-spoke steering wheel and beyond it is the cool machined aluminum dash housing clean gauges that includes the cool tach/clock combo. It all has the right classic performance feel, but the B&M shifter is reminder that this is also an upgraded machine.
While this coupe is dark inside and out, the engine bay is full of ultra-fresh brightness. You're looking at a 350 cubic-inch crate V8 that was installed only about 25 miles ago! That's why you have an award-worthy shine on the valve covers, alternator, compressor, intake, and more. The fresh air hood shaker feeds an Edelbrock four-barrel carburetor and Edelbrock intake. It adds power to the V8 and lets the stainless dual exhaust exhale with a sweet sound. Plus, there are the right supporting components, like the upgraded pulleys and an aluminum radiator. The three-speed automatic transmission was recently rebuilt to be paired with the new motor. And this Trans Am has great driving features like four-wheel disc brakes, new tires, and a recently rebuilt rear end featuring a sway bar.
The investments in this T/A were huge. In fact, we have over $20k in recent receipts. So that makes his the fresh, powerful, cool, loaded, and iconic black Trans Am of your dreams. Call now!
