AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
GENERAL:
This legendary 1977 Pontiac Firebird is undeniably the real deal, combining pure American muscle with high-quality performance upgrades and a look that commands instant respect. Under the hood sits a Performance Built 474 C.I. Stroker V8 assembled with only top-quality components, making this Firebird not only visually impressive but also mechanically outstanding. Thanks to the recently revised TH200-4R automatic transmission (2024), the enormous torque is transferred smoothly and under control, while the 10-bolt rear axle with a 3.73:1 gearing delivers strong acceleration and optimal traction.
BODY/PAINT:
The body is in very good condition and finished in deep, glossy black—a color that powerfully highlights the muscular lines of this 1970s Firebird and, together with the lowered stance and the 17" Year One Snowflake wheels, provides an especially aggressive and timeless look.
TECHNICAL / PERFORMANCE:
The 474 C.I. Stroker V8 is built with a Butler forged crank, Eagle forged connecting rods and pistons, Howards hydraulic roller cam with corresponding springs and lifters, and carefully sorted and polished 7K3 Pontiac cylinder heads, resulting in a powerplant that is both reliable and impressively strong. The Edelbrock Performer intake manifold in combination with a Holley Sniper injection system provides modern, precise fuel delivery, better starting performance and optimal throttle response, while Doug’s ceramic headers flow into a 3" stainless steel exhaust system that produces a deep, powerful V8 sound.
The drivetrain is further supported by a 10-bolt rear axle with a 3.73:1 ratio, Lakewood traction bars and 6-leaf rear springs, ensuring the power is effectively transferred to the pavement. The Hotchkis lowering kit with sway bars significantly improves handling and gives the car a tight, stable driving experience that matches the power output.
For extra reliability and modern functionality, the engine is equipped with a serpentine belt system and billet pulleys, while the braking system has been upgraded to fully vented rotors with BAER T4 calipers, delivering powerful and controlled braking performance that suits the performance level of this Firebird.
INTERIOR:
The interior is finished in stunning red, creating an impressive contrast with the black exterior and giving the car a distinctive and stylish look both inside and out. A brand-new headliner has been recently installed, underscoring the meticulous condition and attention to detail. Sporty elements such as the Hurst shifter and the adjustable steering wheel (tilt wheel) provide a perfect blend of comfort, control and authentic muscle car experience.
WHEELS & TIRES:
Equipped with 17" Year One Snowflake wheels paired with low-profile radial tires, offering a perfect mix of classic aesthetics and modern grip.
DOCUMENTS:
The car is equipped with EU registration (NL), which simplifies import into other EU countries.
PICKUP:
This Pontiac Trans Am can be picked up in Appingedam. We can assist with transport.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:
A unique original Trans Am, distinguished by its rarity and condition. Perfect for collectors and enthusiasts of American muscle cars!
