“Extremely clean Pontiac Firebird Trans Am with very low miles: 17,200,” the listing says.
This sports coupe hails from the third-generation of the Firebird which lived from model year 1982 to 1992 and shared the F-body platform with the Chevrolet Camaro. Body styles for this car were available in either convertible or liftback (as seen here) variations. Incremental changes were applied to engineering and design over the car’s decade-long lifespan, and in 1991, Firebirds received a restyled and more rounded nose that was modeled after General Motors’ “Banshee IV” show vehicle.
Many incredibly low-mileage cars come with a lot of unknowns: When a car sits for an extended length of time, it can create issues with tires, gaskets, hoses, fluids, and any component of the car that has a shelf life. The good news is that this time capsule hasn’t just been placed up for sale after pulling it straight out of the garage: It has been mechanically brought up to date with a list of service items. Recent work according to the seller has included replacement of the tires, air conditioning refrigerant, alternator, starter, battery, wheel cylinders, and brake shoes as of July 2023. Window tint has also been added, which provides privacy in addition to keeping the upholstery from getting faded prematurely.
Power for this muscle car comes from a fuel-injected 305cid V8 mated to a four-speed automatic transmission. The seller says regarding the mechanical condition: “Runs and drives perfect. Ice cold air conditioning. Everything works including the pop-up headlights. You won’t find a better 1991 Firebird Trans Am.”
The listing includes a three-minute walkaround video showing the exterior, interior, and a start-up. The gauges appear to be in working order, and even the power activated soft-close rear liftgate is operational.
If a third-generation Firebird has been on your watch list (or “want” list) for a while now, you will want to take a close look at this one! The asking price is $20,000 or best offer.
