Pontiac Firebird 1977 Description
It's probably impossible to talk about any Trans Am, ncluding this 1977 example, ithout mentioning "Smokey and the Bandit," but the fact of the matter is that these Pontiacs were the last of the true muscle cars back in 1977. Unlike posers such as the Mustang II and even its stable-mate, he Camaro, he guys at Pontiac were still building legitimate horsepower. Of course, ou wouldn't bring a knife to a gun fight wearing bright red with a big black bird on your hood, o the T/A definitely brought the thunder along with its outrageous look.With values growing rapidly on these fun '70s icons, his one sticks to the factory formula. It had a cosmetic freshening several years ago that included new code 75 Buccaneer Red paint and fresh decals, nd although not perfect, t looks as dazzling today as Burt's black car did rolling out of the trailer, ausing Jerry Reed to exclaim, Ho ho ho!" The finish is very good, he reproduction decals are exact in every way, nd as a southern car all its life, he original body panels are super straight. Go ahead, ook at this car and tell me you can't see it spinning its tires all over those southern highways. And while the black cars were a slam-dunk for Pontiac once that movie came out, wning this Buccaneer Red one is a mark of distinction that you're a true Pontiac fan and only care about the hardware. It's also considerably rarer than basic black today, o if you want to stand out, his is one heck of a way to do it.This one also sports a code 19N black interior, hich appears to be almost entirely original and still looks amazing today. With just some gentle use marks on the seat covers, he seats are just as comfortable as they look. The carpets are still dark, he door panels show virtually no wear, nd the dash pad hasn't been baked by the sun over the past three and a half decades. Engine turned panels dress up the instruments, hich give a complete view of the engine's operation, nd the console with its shifter for the TH350 3-speed automatic transmission underneath. This one also sports an unusual state-of-the-art AM/FM stereo, working clock, tilt steering column, are cruise control, s well as factory A/C that sill blows cold. Wow! In addition, he trunk is clean and includes what appears to be the original mat.Next to the Corvette, he most potent machine in America was the Trans Am, hanks to the numbers matching Pontiac 400 cubic inch V8 under the hood. It's clean and with a few matching Buccaneer Red touches like the giant hood scoop, t looks great under the hood. Things like the hoses, elts, nd wires appear to be recent and the A/C still uses good old R12 for best results. The suspension is surprisingly capable, nd there were few other cars better suited to getting out of trouble than the Trans Am, ven with highway-friendly 2.56 gears out back. The floors on this one remain solid, he suspension and brakes are tight, he recent dual exhaust system sounds properly muscular, nd those beautiful snowflake alloys wear 225/70/15 BFGoodrich white letter radials.Go back and watch the movie, nd I think you'll find both the film and the car have aged pretty well. This T/A is a heck of a lot of fun and will make you an instant celebrity anywhere you go. Call today!
