Overview of 1988 Pontiac Firebird Coupe For Sale by Owner

Hang on, this car’s shape sure does look familiar. Yup, that’s because it’s a third-generation Pontiac Firebird, the car that gave Knight Rider’s KITT its body. What better way for GM to drum up publicity for their third-gen Firebird when it launched in 1982 than for it to be shown on the hit TV show? In fact, GM had to request the show’s creators to not refer to KITT as a Trans Am, because people were walking into Pontiac showrooms and asking to buy a KITT! Well, this particular car won’t get mistaken for KITT because it’s a different color and doesn’t have that iconic nose or digital dashboard! But that doesn’t mean it’s not a fine '80s classic. In fact, there are quite a few third-gen Firebird and Trans Am enthusiasts who prefer their cars in stock form. If that’s you, pick up this 1988 Pontiac Firebird and enjoy its company on long drives. The car’s got just 31,500 reportedly all-original miles under its belt, and comes with maintenance records for peace of mind.

Exterior and Interior

This 1988 Pontiac Firebird wears a red paint coat, punctuated by gray lower quarters. It’s got a lovely factory rear spoiler, iconic pop-up headlamps, and of course, a fetching set of alloy wheels to augment its appearance further. The current owner informs us that the car still retains it's original undercoat. The car also includes mud flaps, which are rarer than you might think. So many people lose these over time, then forget to replace them. Not the case with this car. The four-seat interior of this 1988 Pontiac Firebird features a gray theme. You’ve got an AM/FM radio, as well as air conditioning to enjoy during those hotter periods of the year. The radio unit includes a cassette tape player as well. Meanwhile, the dashboard features a nostalgic set of analog gauges, including a 120mph speedometer. After all, this car came out when the 85mph speedometer was no longer mandatory.

Engine

Powering this 1988 Pontiac Firebird is a frugal but surprisingly potent 2.8-liter V6. The multi-port fuel-injected unit made around 140hp as per factory figures. It powers the rear wheels through a 4-speed automatic gearbox.
