The original factory paint is in immaculate condition as is the leather interior which is also in immaculate condition throughout with virtually no signs of wear and every option is working as it should including the ice-cold A/C. The third generation Pontiac Firebird arrived on the scene in 1981, after some 15 years of production following on with the second-cultural relevance and generation styling with appearances in such massively popular movies like "Smokey and the Bandit.
The third generation of the Pontiac Firebird finally went on sale in 1982 and was lightly sculpted and designed more for agility rather than straight-line speed. Along with some more pop culture fame this was to also become an '80s poster car.
Weight and aerodynamic efficiency were the latest advantages of the 1982 Firebird, losing around 500 pounds on average from the year before. It was also the first Firebird to be designed with the help of a wind tunnel, ensuring that it cut through the air instead of fighting it like earlier models with a new sloped roof and pop-up headlights which were both functional additions and key styling features.
The value of 1982 Pontiac Firebirds in the modern age is obviously completely contingent on the model being sold. In 1982, the Firebird was offered in a number of different trim levels including the base model, SE, and the ultimate Trans Am model as per this patricular example.
A 1982 Trans Am was to also become the talking car Kitt in the seminal 1980s TV series "Knight Rider," which elevated the third-generation Firebird to legendary status.
This particular Firebird Trans Am model must be seen to be believed and driven to be fully appreciated - the car drives as good as it looks with no shakes or rattles and the considerable power of it's 305 5.0 litre 4BBL V8 engine with only 32K original miles! There are no oil leaks, the transmission shifts smoothly through the gears and the temperature always remains cool. Drives virtually like a new car - you could hardly tell the difference!
