Used **New Price - 1975 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am Red on Red for sale in Oak View, CA

1975 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am

Numbers matching, resto mod/pro-touring Trans Am. About 3,000 miles and a year since complete engine rebuild by Kauffman (480 HP / 540 TQ), new Ridetech suspension and Wilwood brakes, and new American Powertrain 5 speed manual transmission.

This car has been built to drive, with A/C, sound insulation, and a 5-speed for cruising, and coilovers and 4 wheel disc brakes for canyon carving and autocross. It's the best of both worlds - vintage looks with modern handling. I've owned the car about 12 years.

You can't exactly call a red T/A a sleeper, but we chose 17" Rally II replica wheels, hid the stereo, kept the stock interior and dash, and painted the motor in the original color to keep everything looking stock.

Mechanically it's a 9.5/10. I would say the body is a 7/10 (some stone chips, some of the fits aren't perfect). No rust or body issues. The paint is about 15 years old. It was a good paint job that has aged well, but it wasn't a frame-off or glass-out repaint.
