Most Pontiac Trans Am Firebirds you’ll see out there are painted black with gold graphics. This example is a little different and to our eyes, is all the more desirable because of it.
What you’re looking at is a 1980 Trans Am Firebird bathed in a lovely shade of silver and contrasted with Blue Cloth accents. These blue accents include the massive ‘Screaming Chicken’ motif on the hood as well as Trans Am text on the sides and at the rear. A set of forged 18-inch wheels have also been fitted to the car.

Pontiac sold the Trans Am Firebird with a number of different engines over the years, including six- and eight-cylinder options. This example has been outfitted with a more modern 6.0-liter naturally-aspirated LS2 V8 that is coupled to a four-speed 4L65E automatic transmission driving the rear wheels.
Other key features of the car include brakes from a C6 Corvette Z06, Ridetech rear suspension, Detroit speed subframe connectors, a new quick-ratio steering gear, Ridetech coilovers at all four corners, Splined front and rear swaybars, custom headers, a stainless steel exhaust, Recaro front seats, an Alpine AM/FM stereo with an amplifier, and Jensen speakers.
As if these highlights alone weren’t enough to convince you that this could be the Trans Am Firebird of your dreams, perhaps the fact that the car has only ever been driven 6,532 miles (10,512 km) will.
The car is currently listed up for sale on eBay and is located in Illinois. It has a Buy It Now price of $52,800 which certainly isn’t cheap, particularly when you consider that you could buy a used C8 Chevy Corvette Stingray for roughly the same.
