Seller's Notes

This Pontiac Firebird Trans Am is a restored American muscle car, finished in an eye-catching Orange colour scheme, over an attractive Caramel vinyl-trimmed interior. It is powered by a naturally aspirated 6.6-litre V8, which sends power to the rear wheels through a four-speed automatic transmission. The car has been with its current and second owner for six years. The odometer shows 90,975 km, however this is not warranted. Build year: 1978 This restored Firebird Trans Am is finished in vibrant Orange paintwork with a black ‘Firebird’ on the bonnet, over an attractive Caramel vinyl-trimmed interior. It rides on 15-inch black Centre Line wheels, fitted with Nitto tyres with white lettering. The specification includes air conditioning, heating and ventilation controls, a tachometer with integrated analogue clock, a cigarette lighter, and an Alpine stereo with Bluetooth. The car’s exterior has been repainted in its vibrant Orange hue, and the wheels are not original to the car, the interior is noted to be original and restored, and the only noted modification to the interior is believed to be the Alpine head unit. The car comes with some original parts including an AM/FM radio, and one key. Please refer to the photo gallery to assess the exterior and interior condition. Specific notes from the seller include: the A-pillar trims are a little worn. The most recent inspection of roadworthiness was in 2017 during which the seller reports that no warnings or advisory items were noted. The seller notes that the air conditioning is a little temperamental. The latest service was carried out during May 2024 at Macro Automotive. The work comprised of an engine oil and filter change. Prior to this, the seller notes that the car was serviced every 12 months, and that during ownership the springs and brake master cylinder have been replaced, the car was given a general ‘tune-up’, and the stereo was replaced. This is a restored example of the iconic Pontiac Firebird Trans Am, blending its muscular exterior styling and brawny V8. Also fitted with a more useable Alpine audio head unit with Bluetooth connectivity, it would make a natural addition to any assembly of American classics, as well as a crowd-pleasing entrant at any car show or event. The description of this consignment is, to the best of the seller’s knowledge, accurate and not misleading. Collecting Cars requests a range of detail about the lot from the seller and performs a level of due diligence. However, potential buyers must independently satisfy themselves as to the accuracy of the description. Potential buyers should view or arrange inspections as well as conduct any research they feel is necessary before committing to bid or buy. Please note that it is not uncommon for classic or collectible vehicles to have received cosmetic repairs in the past, either to rectify damage or refresh appearance, and this work may be undetectable even upon visual inspection. Unless there is an explicit statement by the seller to the contrary, please assume that any vehicle could have had bodywork or paintwork during its life. Furthermore, photographs may not reflect the true colour or full condition of the vehicle. It is a bidder’s responsibility to satisfy themselves of the colour and condition of a vehicle, including its interior and the existence of any remedial bodywork or paintwork, before committing to bid or buy. This includes by raising enquiries with the seller in the comments section. For vehicles, unless otherwise stated, potential buyers should also assume that any cherished registration may be retained by the seller. Please see our Terms and Conditions for full details.
