1980 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am " A Survivor with Fresh Attitude
There's something undeniably cool about a well-preserved, Trans Am that has spent nearly all its life in the care of one dedicated owner, and this 1980 Pontiac Trans Am is exactly that-a time capsule with just the right touch of freshening up. Sold new in Quebec, Canada, this T-Top beauty spent over four decades with its original caretaker before finding a new home in 2023. With just 104,000 kilometers (65,000 miles) on the clock, this Trans Am is a well-preserved slice of late-'70s performance that still turns heads today.
Dressed in a fresh white repaint (2024) with a bold blue screaming chicken sprawled across the hood, this Trans Am carries all the attitude you'd expect from the era of muscle and excess. The fresh decals highlight the sculpted lines of Pontiac's second-generation Firebird, while the rear window louvers add an extra dose of mystery and aggression. Factory 15-inch aluminum snowflake wheels, wrapped in Cooper Cobra radial tires, give this T/A a cool muscle car stance, while a replacement chrome split-tipped exhaust delivers that unmistakable Pontiac rumble.
Under the shaker hood, the 4.9L V8 4-barrel pushes power back to a 3 speed automatic transmission and 3.42 final gears. Control is plentiful thanks to power steering and power four-wheel disc brakes, making this Trans Am a joy for daily use.
Inside, the blue bucket seat cloth interior is a time capsule of late-'70s style, complete with a center console full of classic stereo equipment and a stylish Formula steering wheel that begs to be gripped. Power windows add a touch of modern convenience.
This Trans Am is a great blend of originality and careful restoration, and it's ready for spirited weekend jaunts or the car cruise in circuit alike. If you're looking for a well-preserved Trans Am with just the right amount of freshening up, this 1980 Trans Am is your ticket to reliving the golden age of muscle.
