The car left the factory finished in Starlight Black. The seller states that rust repair has been performed on the passenger-side quarter panel, and the hood and left-front fender have been repainted. Features include gold hood graphics and pinstripes, quad headlights, removable T-top roof panels, body-color bumpers, a shaker hood scoop, quad exhaust tips, and fender vents. A chip is visible on the windshield.
Gold-accented 15″ cast-aluminum wheels wear 225/70 BFGoodrich Radial T/A tires that the seller notes were mounted in 2005. A space-saver spare is stored in the carpeted trunk compartment. The car is equipped with subframe connectors and four-wheel disc brakes.
The front bucket seats and contoured rear bench are upholstered in Camel Tan cloth. Appointments include a Hurst shifter, air conditioning, and a Kenwood AM/FM/cassette stereo. Multiple cracks are visible on the dashboard, the cassette player is inoperative, and the passenger-side seatbelt retractor locks up intermittently. The seller states that opening the passenger door does not activate the dome light. The air-conditioning system was reportedly recharged in 2010, and the headliner was replaced in 2020.
The three-spoke Formula steering wheel sits ahead of a gold-colored engine-turned dash fascia. Instrumentation includes a 100-mph speedometer, supplementary gauges, and a tachometer with an inset clock. The five-digit odometer shows 7k miles, approximately 4k of which were added under current ownership. True mileage is unknown.
The 6.6-liter W72 V8 is equipped with an MSD ignition system, an Edelbrock intake manifold, and brushed-aluminum valve covers. Service in 2020 is said to have involved rebuilding the carburetor, installing a double-roller timing chain, changing the fluids, and replacing the water pump, fuel pump, battery, and lower radiator hose. An oil leak is noted from the rear main seal. The car is not equipped with a catalytic converter or an EGR valve.
The engine-block stamp of PWH shown above identifies the engine as a 400ci W72 V8. Serial-number stampings on the engine and the transmission are pictured in the gallery below.
Power is sent to the rear wheels via a T10 four-speed manual transmission and a limited-slip differential, and the seller states the rear axle ratio was modified to 3.73:1 under previous ownership. The car is equipped with a Pypes 2.5″ stainless-steel dual exhaust system. The transmission and differential fluid were reportedly flushed in 2020.
A copy of the window sticker lists initial delivery to Jim Fresard Pontiac along with factory equipment, $2,813 in options, and a total price of $9,203.45.
Firebird books, parts catalogs, and repair manuals will accompany the vehicle along with an uninstalled water pump and valve covers, a front-end LeBra, a gray car cover, roof-panel storage bags, Trans Am memorabilia, a spare 15×8″ “snowflake” wheel, a removed shift knob, floor mats, three ignition keys and two trunk keys, and manufacturer’s literature.
