1993 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am Coupe 2-door 5.7l on 2040-cars
Groveland, Florida, United States
Up for your consideration is one of the rarest Trans Ams known on the planet. 1993 sunfire yellow,,6-speed,T-top Firebird.... it doesn't get any better or spectacular than this..period. The car looks like it has just a test drive out of the showroom.
Back in 1993 for the 4th time the new generation Firebird was available with a complete make over and a totally new car design that would last till the end of the Firebird. These cars were low,wide,sleek and powerful . Due to the fact they were new they were difficult to get and had very low production numbers. In fact only 5121 produced . At the time I was working on this listing there were no 93 TA's on ebay. as you should know in buying investment grade autos you should always buy the first year and last year of that generation.. How rare is this car.. yellow color only 90 produced,only 22 with t-tops,??? 6-speed,??? luxury reclining seats,???, with the 12D,and AU3 RPO codes. I do have the original title (never changed) and manifest and all docs since new. Purchase at Joe Cotton Pontiac in Glendale Heights IL. Window sticker never been on car ,service manuals,Owners manual,compact disc,second set of keys still in delivery bag,various other factory info included all in new condition along with PHS info and showroom brochures...incredible and not replaceable. Original Goodyears GSC tires and factory wheels removed and store, (even wear about 60 %left). Belts hoses are conditioned and original,all rubber conditioned for storage,doors, windows etc. As I mentioned this car is as close to new as you will ever find. Still smells new inside... flawless in and out.. car is spectacular. I am not a Pontiac expert and have represented this car to the depth of my knowledge...What I can see and read, but I do know cars. 2FV87 Firebird Trans Am CC1 locking hatch roof with microdot sun shade $895.00 option Factory 5.7 LT-1 MN6 manual 6-speed U1A radio with CD with 5 band equalizer. $226 option. Y83 Trans Am option 12D trim graphite cloth AU3 reclining luxury seats,rare. 54U Yellow AKA sunfire I just sold a $33K Camaro on Ebay and please look at my feedback. I have my eye on something else and need some room ..too many toys. I planned on keeping this one and as you know Pontiacs are moving fast in value.this car will probably be worth double the value in 5years. This Firebird is simply the best out there..period .....not a nick,smell,scratch,.nothing. Stored in climate control under a cover its whole life, car is a 20 year old time capsule. I am the owner and a private seller . You will be responsible for transport and I would certainly do an enclosed. I will answer serious questions Via e-mail and if you are serious about the car I will return calls three 2 one six six three 8790. thanks Mark .. On Nov-03-13 at 19:45:10 PST, seller added the following information: Please look at the close ups of the wheel picture and the door jam pictures,Impressive. Also the first owner told me he had only waxed the car once,I have never waxed it...amazing. |

Junkyard Gem: 1987 Pontiac Firebird
Sat, May 9 2020From 1967 through 2002, the Pontiac Division offered the Firebird, close sibling to the Chevrolet Camaro. By the third generation, which debuted for the 1982 model year, it became more difficult to tell the two F-body cars apart at a glance and the Pontiac-exclusive engines of the earlier years disappeared, but the Firebird still retained its own personality and its own position in the GM marketing hierarchy. I still find the occasional 1982-1992 Camaro as I search car graveyards for interesting stuff, but the corresponding Firebirds have become scarce in recent years. Here's a base-engine-equipped '87, its Bright Red paint (yes, that was the official name for the color) faded by the Colorado sun as it awaits the crusher. Firebird shoppers had their choice of three engines in 1987: A 5.7-liter Chevy V8 (210 hp), a 5.0-liter Chevy V8 (205 hp) and the same 2.8-liter 60° V6 that went into the Fiero and countless front-drive GM sedans (135 hp). This car has the base engine. The third-gen F-body didn't weigh much (3,105 pounds for the '87 with six-banger, about what a 2020 Corolla weighs), so 135 horses was tolerable. Plenty of these cars got T-5 5-speed manual transmissions, but this one got the two-pedal setup. Camaro wheels, of course. Our Friend the Carburetor didn't disappear from new cars until the early 1990s in the United States, though electronic fuel injection had become very commonplace by 1987. Still, GM considered this car's EFI worth a door-handle brag. It's not worth fixing up a mashed six-cylinder third-gen Firebird, so we can see the route this car took to its final parking space.

This KITT replica sold at auction for $32,500
Thu, Apr 23 2020UPDATE: This 1987 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am KITT replica officially sold for $32,500. Here's hoping the new owner has a blast throwin' it into Pursuit Mode. Let's get one thing straight right off the bat: This isn't a perfect KITT replica. The original KITT used in the Knight Rider TV series was based on a 1982 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am. The one you see above, which is currently for sale at auction site Bring A Trailer, is a 1987 model, and since it's a GTA edition, it has some extra body cladding that the smooth-sided television car lacked. That aside, most casual observers would probably never notice the difference, and even those who did (like us) are still likely to be impressed by the car's transformation. This KITT replica is powered by a 5.0-liter V8 engine mated to a four-speed automatic transmission. It ought to be fairly quick, though quite a bit shy of the fictional car's very fictional 300-mph top speed. We're not exactly Knight Rider experts, but some quick Google sleuthing suggests that the Knight Industries Two Thousand supposedly cost more than $11,000,000 to build in Hollywoodland. This one will surely command a significantly lower sum — as of this writing, it's been bid up to $18,000 with four days remaining on the auction. This content is hosted by a third party.

There are several videos of the car that detail its modifications inside and out, but suffice it to say it seems to be a well-sorted replica. Here's hoping its new owner keeps it well clear of other KARRs. Related Video: This content is hosted by a third party. To view it, please update your privacy preferences. Manage Settings.
Looking Back At Oprah's Free-Car Giveaway 10 Years Later
Fri, Sep 12 2014Molly Vielweber's Pontiac G6 appears unremarkable at first glance. It wears forest green paint, rolls on five-spoke aluminum wheels, and it has a sizeable scrape in the driver's side door, the scar of a decade's worth of hard use. You wouldn't notice it parked at a big box store or cruising on the highway. Pontiac made hundreds of thousands of G6s in the 2000s, and a lot are still on the road. It's unremarkable in every way except for the front license plate, which reads, "Oprah 6." But this is not just any G6. This car is a part of television history. Vielweber won her G6 10 years ago at a taping of The Oprah Winfrey Show, when Oprah kicked off her 19th season in dramatic fashion by giving all 276 members of the studio audience a free car. It was an unprecedented stunt that changed lives, generated controversy and ultimately failed to provide enough of a marketing lift for Pontiac, which would be shuttered just over five years later. September 13 marks the 10-year anniversary of the memorable event, which caught everyone, including audience members, by surprise. In a masterful display of showmanship, Oprah dialed up the suspense to match the enormity – and cost – of the event. First she gave away 11 cars, which would have been a landmark TV promotion by itself. But then she coyly announced: "I've got a little twist." Models circulated throughout the audience carrying silver platters loaded with white boxes wrapped in red ribbon. One contained a set of keys, Oprah implied, for another audience member to win the final car. "Do not open it. Do not shake it," she commanded the crowd. Finally, with the suspense built to a fevered pitch, everyone opened their box. They all had keys. "You get a car! You get a car! You get a car! You get a car! Everybody gets a car!" Oprah exclaimed. "Everybody gets a car! Everybody gets a car!" This content is hosted by a third party. To view it, please update your privacy preferences. Manage Settings. Everybody did get a car. But not everyone kept it. William Toebe attended the show with his wife, Jillaine, and he immediately thought of the tax implications, which stretched to $6,000 or more for some audience members. It was a tough reality for many in the audience that day, some of which had been selected based on their need for a new car. "That responsible part of me stepped forward and wondered 'where am I going to get the money to pay the taxes?'" he recalled.
