Description

Owning a 1987 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am GTA is not just possessing a car; it's embracing an era of automotive excellence and power. This particular Trans Am GTA is an extraordinary find with only 23,966 original miles, offering a pristine example of one of Pontiac's most celebrated models. The WS6 package adds to its allure, emphasizing its performance-oriented design and engineering.

Under the hood, this Trans Am houses a robust 5.7L V8 engine, specifically the B2L/L98, indicating the legendary 350 ci V8. This engine is enhanced with Trick Flow heads, ensuring peak performance and efficiency. The car's power is delivered through a 4-speed automatic transmission, meticulously built with a 2800 stall speed Edge Racing torque converter, providing seamless and responsive shifts that thrill any driving enthusiast.

The interior is as remarkable as its performance, featuring a unique one-year-only tan color with articulating seats that offer both comfort and style. The all-original interior maintains its factory integrity while boasting a digital dash that adds a touch of modernity to its classic appeal. The factory radio is still in place, preserving the authentic driving experience of the late '80s.

Exterior enhancements elevate the car's aesthetics and handling. Upgraded 17-inch Hawks Gold Honey Comb wheels, paired with Radial BF Goodrich tires, give it a striking presence on the road. The Dyno Don headers and Magnaflow full exhaust system not only improve performance but also provide an exhilarating exhaust note that announces the car's arrival.

This Trans Am is equipped with an upgraded GM accessory serpentine drive, ensuring reliability and ease of maintenance. The A/C system has been recently serviced with a new AC Delco compressor and components, delivering ice-cold air for those hot summer drives.

The performance upgrades continue with a polished Edelbrock TPI fuel injection system, Comp 265 XFI cam, and a cold air intake, all contributing to the engine's increased horsepower and responsiveness. The car's structural integrity is bolstered by Alston inner subframe connectors, BMR outer subframe connectors, and a TDS Wonder Bar strut brace, providing a solid and stable ride.

Recent upgrades to the suspension include new shocks, struts, and front-end components, ensuring a smooth and controlled driving experience. The Walbro 255 fuel pump and sending unit, along with Southbay 24lb injectors, ensure that the engine receives a steady and reliable fuel supply. Upgraded metal gear headlight motors replace the original plastic versions, adding durability and reliability to the headlight operation.

This Trans Am comes with a clean Carfax report, confirming its true mileage and accident-free history, making it a trustworthy and desirable collector's item. The minor cracks in the original rear spoiler are a testament to its authenticity and age, adding character to this otherwise immaculate vehicle.

In conclusion, this 1987 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am GTA is a rare gem that combines original charm with modern performance enhancements. It's a car that not only stands as a symbol of its time but also offers an exhilarating driving experience that's hard to match. Whether you're a collector or a driving enthusiast, this Trans Am GTA is a testament to Pontiac's legacy of power, performance, and style.
