The car is finished in black with gold Firebird graphics on the hood and B-pillars in addition to “Turbo Trans Am” script on the decklid. Additional exterior features include removable glass T-top roof panels, a front air dam, quadruple headlights, a reverse hood scoop, vented fenders, and aftermarket Pypes polished quadruple exhaust outlets. There is a blemish in the pinstriping on the right-side mirror, and additional close-up photos are shown in the gallery below.
Gold-finished 15″ Turbo wheels are mounted with 225/70 BFGoodrich Radial T/A tires, while a compact spare is stowed in the trunk. The car rides on independent front suspension, and braking is handled by power-assisted four-wheel discs.
The cabin features front bucket seats and a rear bench upholstered in black cloth with patterned inserts and black vinyl piping complemented by a color-coordinated dashboard, door panels, and carpets. Amenities include air conditioning, cruise control, power windows, and an AM/FM/8-track stereo.
The dashboard features a Burt Reynolds signature.
The leather-wrapped Formula steering wheel frames a gold-finished engine-turned instrument panel housing a tachometer with a 5k-rpm redline and an inset analog clock accompanied by an 85-mph speedometer and auxiliary gauges for oil pressure, coolant temperature, fuel level, and voltage. The five-digit mechanical odometer shows 9k miles, approximately 50 of which were added under current ownership.
The 301ci LU8 V8 was factory rated at 210 horsepower and 345 lb-ft of torque and features a four-barrel carburetor and an oil-cooled Garrett TB305 turbocharger. The engine was reportedly repainted under previous ownership. Work in preparation for the sale included recharging the air conditioning refrigerant and changing the oil.
Power is sent to the rear wheels through a three-speed automatic transmission and a limited-slip differential. Corrosion is visible on the rear end and suspension and additional underside photos are available in the gallery.
The engine stamping and transmission stamping are shown above.
