1993 Trans American Musclecar

1993 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am 2dr Hatchback
I bought this car late in its life. It had 80,000 miles on it and it was spotless. I bought it because I knew they sold cheap, and I like tinkering with cars, so it was a fast car for a low price. This car is comfortable and fun to drive. It has the last version of the original small block Chevrolet engine (LT1) so you get that legendary sweet exhaust tone as you drive. It runs and … drives like a true blooded American muscle car. I love and savor every second I drive it. My car stock did 14.1@99 mph 1/4 mile at the race track. The LT1 (1993-1997) cars are complex engines and it takes time, patience and experience to understand them. Buy only if you like working on cars.

1993 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am 2dr Hatchback
A black 67,000 actual mile TA with an aftermarket 4" cowl hood plus the factory spoiler and chrome wheels prompted us to name this the Batbird after the Batmobile. We have added subtle Batman logos tastefully onto the interior and exterior of the car. Installed a performance chip, cold air intake, 1.6 rocker arms, performance exhaust, MSD ignition and wow, this TA became a real … screamer. Spanks the Cobra's on the weekend at present. Planning to add a supercharger and a 100 hp shot of nitrous soon. Here Viper,here viper! Overall this car has great reliability with no major problems. A few rattles here and there but the exhaust drowns that out. This is the new classic w/no more being made now.

1993 Pontiac Firebird Formula 2dr Hatchback
I have had this car for a year now and have no complaints. It handles very well and takes off how and when you want it to. Its got 186,000 miles on it and you would never know it without looking at the numbers.I've won several competitions and am now a true firebird fan.

1993 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am 2dr Hatchback
Overall the Trans Am has held up quite
well for a vehicle approaching it's
tenth birthday. Given the fact it has
spent nine hot summers here in the
southwest, the only thing that has
needed replaced is the plastic lock
buttons on the drivers door and the
hatchback struts which just recently
had to be replaced. The only cost issue
I can see for a potential owner is the …
higher cost of insurance if you have a
lead foot. :)
