One of only 885 Trans Ams produced in 1971 with the potent 455 H.O. motor and four-speed manual transmission, this Pontiac Firebird Trans Am stands as a genuine muscle car legend. Finished in Cameo White with iconic blue stripes, this Trans Am maintains its classic Firebird styling with its aggressive front end, dual scoops, and muscular profile. The clean lines flow from front to back, complemented by the properly fitted body panels and excellent panel gaps. The 15-inch wheels wearing F60-15 .....
tires complete the look, giving this Trans Am an imposing road presence without sacrificing the classic aesthetic that made these cars famous.
The black vinyl interior offers both comfort and sportiness with bucket seats that maintain good cushioning. The dashboard presents well with clear, functional gauges, while the center console with its shifter creates a driver-focused environment. The door panels and rear quarters show good care throughout, maintaining the original design integrity. The black carpeting fits properly and shows only minor signs of use, while the headliner remains taut. The AM/FM cassette player offers audio entertainment, though the factory clock has stopped ticking. Air conditioning keeps the cabin comfortable during summer cruises, making this Trans Am as enjoyable on the inside as it is impressive on the outside.
The numbers-matching 455 H.O. V8 engine is the star of the mechanical show, paired perfectly with the Muncie M22 four-speed manual transmission. This powertrain delivers remarkable performance for a classic of this vintage. The single Quadrajet four-barrel carburetor handles fuel delivery with precision, while the correct Winters intake manifold maintains factory authenticity. The power disc brakes up front provide strong stopping capability, and the power steering makes handling this muscle car a joy. The dual exhaust with Dynomax mufflers produces a rich, throaty sound that announces this Trans Am's performance credentials without being overly aggressive.
