Vehicle Description
Gateway Classic Cars of Denver is proud to offer this 1983 Pontiac
firebird Trans Am The 3rd Generation of Firebirds consisted of
three models: Firebird, Firebird S/E, and Firebird Trans Am. The
Firebird was the base model, equivalent to the Camaro Sport Coupe;
the Firebird S/E was the luxury version; and the Trans Am, the
high-performance version. For 1982, the new Firebird and Camaro had
been completely restyled, with the windshield slope set at a
dramatic, more aerodynamic 62 degrees,[4] (about 3 degrees steeper
than anything GM had ever tried before), flush mounted side glass,
and for the first time, a large, glass-dominated rear hatchback.
Electronically controlled retractable headlamps, and a rounded hood
line and front fenders were the primary characteristics that
distinguished the Firebird from its Camaro sibling and its previous
Firebird incarnations. The Firebird would retain hidden headlamps
until the end of all production in 2002. Pontiac had also hoped to
drop the "Trans Am" moniker from the redesigned cars to save
royalties paid to the SCCA for use of the name. Early promotional
cars were marked "T/A" as an alternative, however it was decided
that doing so might cause more problems than it was worth and the
"Trans Am" nameplate remained. Still, with its dimensions reduced,
wheelbase shortened, and weight reduced, the Third Generation
Firebird was also the closest yet in size to the original 1967
model. It won "Best Sports GT" category in the $11,000 to $14,000
range (also along with the Camaro). Road & Track called the
fuel-injected Trans Am "a dramatic improvement on its
predecessors," accelerating from 0-60 in 9.2 seconds.[5] This clean
CarFax T/A is ready to cruise down the road. The custom wheels
really set the silver paint off and should turn a lot of heads.
