1985 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am Coupe 2-door 5.0l on 2040-cars

Do you remember 1985?
It was the year of Live Aid, the beginning of VH-1 and the end of "The Price is Right" with Johnny Olson. Bobby Ewing was run over by his ex-sister-in-law's car, "Dynasty"s Amanda Carrington's wedding turned into the "Moldavian Massacre", "K.I.T.T." started into his final "Knight Rider" season, "Miami Vice" into it's second. "The Breakfast Club" soon became one of the most popular movies in 1985, Marty McFly time-travelled with his DeLorean "Back to the Future" and created a cult.
It was the year of "Born in the USA", "A view to a kill", "Sussudio", "Welcome to the Pleasure Dome" and "I want to know what love is", and it's was also the last official year for carburetor Firebirds before the fuel injection moved in - the last year of the grumpy sounding "High Output" Trans Ams.

I bought this beautiful, award winning 1985 Trans Am this early summer with less than 32.000 mls from the Clawsin Car Show from the second owner who drove it only to classic car events. The first owner once stored the Pontiac in a garage for almost 13 years of the 22 years he owned it and created a wonderful time capsule.
But every car guy will confirm you just don't store a car that long time without having some flaws coming along - so I had to do some improvements on this Firebird: The 4 barrel carburetor (Quadrajet) got refurbished, all hoses replaced. The Alternator got replaced, also headlights, foglights, headliner, hood insulation, rear wheel brakes (completely incl. emergency brake cable), all system liquids/fluids and the windshield washer pump.
Soon I found myself cruising around every night with this classic 80's T-Top Bird and added almost 4.000 mls during the summer - way too much for this low mileage status. And honestly, there' wasn't one single day I didn't get thumbs up or buying offers - this Trans Am really wows the crowd and causes a stir, which makes me think it better should be kept in this fantastic condition on the long run.
That's why I rather see it in somebody's hands who won't drive it every day and treats it the way it deserves.

The body and floor panels are all clean, the engine looks and runs like brand new. The four speed automatic shifts smooth and soft, the original exhaust rumbles like in the good old muscle car days. Everything works fine, even the concealed headlight motors and the cruise control. Nothing is worn out or cracked, no filthy smell (non smoker car). If you know cars, then you also know about GM's quality issues - one reason why so many of these stylish, sleek Firebirds became extinct. You'll have to dig deep finding a better Trans Am than this one, especially if it gotta have the rare silver paint or the rare vinyl bucket seats. This Trans Am is just ready to go - how soon is now?

This is not just another low mileage car which will fall apart with the first time turning the key - this Bird really kicks ass!
