Featured on AutoHunter, the web public sale platform pushed by ClassicCars.com, is that this 1977 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am.

To somebody who grew up within the interval of the Seventies and 80s (me) that period Trans Am of my period has been a cool automotive because it was new. Give it some thought, and you’ll know I’m proper. The Trans Am starred in its personal collection of flicks, had flashy Seventies model seems, and, on prime of all of it, was the most effective performing American vehicles each in straight line efficiency in addition to dealing with in an period the place efficiency had been all however forgotten. The Trans Am turned the lone holdout of the excessive efficiency pony automotive period and supplied efficiency and engine choices that even the Camaros from the period had misplaced. All this helped make the Trans Am mainly the final man standing on the planet of the horse vehicles and as end result the automotive was a legend each then and now. These are the explanations that the mid Seventies to early 80s Trans Am vehicles have turn into so well-liked within the collector automotive world immediately.

The 1977 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am featured right here is powered by a 6.6-liter V8 backed by a three-speed automated transmission. Options embrace air-con, energy steering, a tilt steering column, an AM/FM/CD stereo, and energy entrance disc brakes. The vehicles exterior is completed similar to the Smokey and the Bandit automotive carrying black paint with a black fabric inside.

The physique of this automotive is claimed to be rust-free. Exterior options embrace color-keyed bumpers, a entrance decrease spoiler, appropriate gold accent pinstriping, a gold Trans Am hood decal, a shaker hood scoop, color-keyed mirror housings with a guide driver-side distant, and a rear spoiler. I like the gothic font used on the outside Trans Am stickers on this period. They add a form of heavy metallic look and you’ll nearly hear the Black Sabbath blaring out of the stereo when simply trying on the automotive. The automotive rides on its appropriate 15-inch gold snowflake-style aluminum wheels is wrapped in Mastercraft Avenger G/T radial tires.

The inside is furnished with black fabric entrance bucket seats and an identical rear seat surrounded by black vinyl door panels and trim. I personally love the engine turned look of the Trans Ams of this period, particularly since these vehicles function 100-mph speedometers, a 6,000-rpm tachometer with an built-in clock, and gauges for the gasoline stage, coolant temperature, oil strain, and voltage gauges. The complete instrumentation combined with the sprint it add an additional little bit of cool and a critical sporting look to the inside of the automotive.

Beneath the hood this Trans Am has its inventory 6.6-liter V8. The engine compartment of this automotive seems to be each clear and in inventory situation. All finishes look to be appropriate, and it seems like an trustworthy unmodified instance of a Trans Am, one thing tougher to seek out that you just would possibly assume. The engine is backed by a three-speed automated transmission.

It is a properly turned out instance of the basic Trans Am, and my recommendation is you probably have at all times liked these vehicles then you can purchase one earlier than later. This one could be the right automotive to drive and present. Yours could possibly be the successful bid, so why not take a present at shopping for this icon of the Seventies. In case you are the successful bidder be sure you don’t neglect to deliver your Dio and Ozzy CDs in your first drive.
