The Pontiac Firebird is not a new name in the muscle car world. In fact, the model serves as a time capsule that perfectly represents the golden age of muscle cars. The Firebird has become a coveted classic today and among the various trims that were offered, the Trans Am is the top-of-the-line performance-oriented trim. The second-generation Firebird was introduced in 1970. It was the last hurrah of American muscle before the first of the fuel crises hit in the late 1970s, which crippled the entire line-ups of muscle cars for generations to come. Up for grabs today at Exotic Car Trader is a stunning 1973 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am 455 with just over 54,000 miles on the clock.
Exterior and Interior
The Pontiac Firebird was introduced as an upscale version of GM's other muscle car, the Chevrolet Camaro. It shows this with its design language and similar body lines to its cousin. Our featured car has a brutish elegance with beautiful flowing lines, which are accented with wide hips and shoulders. The beautiful red paint job accents the body lines perfectly, while the burning phoenix on the bonnet lets everyone know you’re rolling in a Firebird. The shaker hood rumbles in between the wings of the phoenix, with a ginormous V8 sitting beneath it. This car sits on a set of period-correct 15-inch Cragar S/S alloy wheels. With a full restoration done 20 years ago, everything still looks immaculate, from the paintwork to the brake calipers on all four corners. Inside, you are greeted with beautifully restored and upkept black leather bucket seats, which will hold you tight while you rip through the streets in this beast of a muscle car.
Engine
Powering this Firebird Trans Am L75 is a 455 cubic inch V8 that produces 250 horsepower and 370 earth-shattering pound-feet of torque. It transmits power to the ground through a three-speed automatic transmission. During the restoration, the engine was rebuilt and is reported to have run only 10,000 since. Along with the rebuilt engine, a new transmission and rear end were also put in for a hassle-free driving experience.
