2010 saw the world lose yet another great American marque, Pontiac. They were founded in 1907 as the Oakland Motor Car Company, and subsequently in 1909 Oakland Motor Car Company was bought by GM and launched Pontiac in 1931. During the pony car decades, when Ford amazed the motoring world with the Ford Mustang, Pontiac entered the fray with their own offering in the form of the Pontiac Firebird. Produced until 2002 and with four generations under its belt, the Firebird captured the hearts of everyone especially those who were acclaimed to the “Knight Rider” series. Up for grabs is a 1986 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am with a new 0-mileage powerhouse and some tasty performance upgrades.
Exterior and Interior
The 1986 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am is bedecked in an expected yet appropriate custom paint job in blue more akin to midnight blue. The front features electronically controlled retractable headlamps and a new fiberglass functional hood with blue flames. The sides are host to side vents and have the same subtle blue flames as the hood. Full-width taillights complete with the Firebird emblem in the center make up the rear, along with the new wrap-around fiberglass “Aero Spoiler” finished in textured black and high-mounted stop lamps on the top of the back hatch window. It sits on a set of new 5-spoke vintage-style chrome painted wheels from Ion Wheels. Black leather is featured for the interior with honeycomb textured door sills. The center console is host to the manual gearbox, window controls, and an aftermarket Boss audio player. The three-spoke steering wheel with the Firebird logo etched in the middle is simply done and behind it is visible the electronic instrument cluster with white markings. Firebird emblazoned aftermarket rubber floor mats are also in place. The functional T-tops are in good order.
Engine
