Hagerty’s Valuation Guide pegs #3 “Good” condition examples at $10,500, with #2 “Excellent” cars at $18,700 and #1 Concours quality all the way up to $30,300. The door panels, and arm rests, which are notorious weak spots for Third Gen Firebirds, are immaculate, without stain or blemish from what we can see.Īll things told, taking into consideration the low miles, exquisite condition, manual transmission, and strangely lacking features – this car really speaks loudly to us. The original radio is nestled in place, and, despite the lacking features, the car does have air conditioning, which is cool. The dashboard top is as flat as a playing card in the box, showing no visible imperfection and a set of clean, clear gauges. By the pictures, we have to agree – the paint shines like a maraschino cherry, and the interior looks like it’s never been used, the cloth appearing fresh and straight, the cushions looking uncrushed by body weight and G-Forces. Painted Flame Red Metallic with a Camel-colored interior, the seller says it’s always been garaged, is all original, very clean, and in excellent condition. And when you factor in the rarity of the equipment this car is fitted with (or not fitted with) this little GTA becomes agonizingly interesting. Or maybe it was just ordered by a cheap bastard looking for all the flash and flare that is a GTA without the price of entry for all the other stuff? Who knows, but it’s only covered 32k miles from new – which is pretty much insanely low for a Trans Am. Interestingly, we wondered if it was initially bought as a gymkhana track car? It would be lighter as equipped, and the 5-speed provides more control over the engine, perfect for tight slaloming. So, when one pops up with no T-Tops, crank windows, cloth seats, and the 5-liter with 5-speed, it strikes us as a bit offbeat, something seldom seen in that period. A rare few would come with the monstrous 5.7L, 350 CI V-8, only available with the automatic, but it’s interesting to note that the 5-liter and 5-speed were both optional on GTA, providing a credit on the price. ![]() Under the hood, the majority would have the 5.0L, 305 CI V8 engine linked to either a 4-speed automatic or 5-speed manual transmission. The new GTA would be Trans Am’s top level trim, loaded to the gills with enough Tupperware glued to the body that anyone looking would know, “Hey, it’s the ’80s, and because this thing is wearing all kinds of superficial garb, it’s the best of the best.” That’s just how it worked.īut it wasn’t all for looks most GTAs would be equipped with power everything, a top end stereo system, T-Tops, and often leather interiors. Look closely – especially head on – and you’ll see the face of SR-71. Examining how the SR-71 was designed and put together, stylists were able to glean cues for the front fascia, side skirts, rear bumper, among a multitude of other subtle details. Not many people know that when the masterminds behind the Firebird elected to produce a top dog Trans Am, they went to the top dog of the skies for inspiration: the SR-71 Blackbird. ![]()
