Throughout America's automobile history, many car models were introduced and were just one-hit wonders. During the late 1960s, Pontiac, by then part of General Motors, wanted to compete with Ford's latest Pony car, the Ford Mustang. In came the Pontiac Firebird, with its Coke Bottle styling, slit taillights, and quad headlights, which were snatched up by the public in droves. Pontiac went on to produce the Firebird until 2002 with four generations of the iconic car under its belt. The third generation Firebird was produced from 1981 to 1992 and featured a radically new design from its outgoing generation. It, of course, was tremendously helped by the 80's hit TV show, Knight Rider. Up for the taking is a 1988 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am GTA, of which only 9,765 were built in the US of A and ready for the next owner to relive the good ol' muscle car days.
Exterior and Interior
Black is a timeless and classic choice for a car and a color that fits perfectly for this 1988 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am GTA. If the car looks familiar, then YES, that is exactly what it is; it was the same generation Firebird that KITT was based on, albeit with a few modifications. The front is host to pop-up headlights flanking the gold Firebird shield, while lower can be seen the front splitter with embedded fog lights. The hood cuts around the headlight housings and features functional hood vents. More GTA Trans Am and Firebirds badges and logos can be seen on the sides. The rear wing starts from the sides and adds a sort of additional layer to the design when viewed from the side. The taillights are egg crate designs that were very cool during this time. It sits on a set of GTA-only gold cross-lace alloy wheels. The Gran Turismo Americano or GTA of this Firebird denotes its luxury and performance pedigree. Standard is the black leather interior with perforated inserts and multi-way seats. Taking from the KITT design, this Firebird features 80s-minded high-tech design from the layout of the buttons to the grid design all over the center console and dash. The steering uses a very early form of multifunction controls for the premium Performance Sound. Other features include removable T-tops, power windows, power locks, power mirrors, and a tilt steering wheel.
Engine
The Firebird's reputation for performance is continued with this 1988 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am GTA. It houses the 5.0L V8 powerplant coupled with a glorious 5-speed Borg Warner T5 manual transmission. All of 170hp of power is pushed to the rear wheels. The GTA uses a WS6 performance suspension package, and four corner disc brakes for optimum stopping power.
