1999 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am Convertible

Description

In the world of muscle cars, so often, the Ford Mustang and Chevrolet Camaro monopolize the hearts and minds of potential buyers much like Coca-Cola or Pepsi does in the world of soft drinks. But that doesn't mean there aren't a few better options out there to quench your thirst for hydration, or speed. Take this beautiful and very white 1999 Pontiac Trans Am convertible we have for you here. Looking almost as new as it did rolling off the factory line, this Firebird has just 66,732 miles on the odometer.

Under the hood sits GM's mighty 5.7-liter LS1 aluminum small block V8. In Trand Am configuration, this car makes 305 hp and 335 lb-ft of torque on paper but can be modified to make a lot more power with basics like simply removing the intake silencer or adding a sweet-sounding catback exhaust to let the motor breathe a little easier.

That power is funneled through a stout 4L60E four-speed automatic transmission on its way to a 3.27:1 rear axle, and finally on to a set of 16-inch rims shod in 245/50R-16 rubber out back (and front). As a more modern muscle car, this Trans Am is graced with such amenities as power steering, power brakes, power windows, power door locks, and the all-important power top.

Much like the exterior, inside the same Arctic White color code is used for the leather seats and door trim. And unlike today's distracting movie theater-sized electronic screens, this 1999 Trans Am's only digital offerings are the odometer and Monsoon stereo display. Aside from that, plenty of analog buttons, switches and HVAC controls take the aggravation of operating basic functions while driving.

This fourth-generation F-Body represents the last version of the Firebird Pontiac produced, and the 1999 variant also happens to be the 30th anniversary of the Trans Am. While this car isn't an actual Anniversary Edition, a WS6 hood, a set of frosted blue wheels, hood stripes, and some requisite badging could turn this Trans Am into an Anniversary Edition replica for a fraction of the cost. Whatever you decide to do with this 1999 Pontiac Trans Am convertible, it shows you march to just a slightly different beat than the mainstream Mustang and Camaro pony car parade. And don't get us wrong, Coke and Pepsi are popular for a reason, but sometimes what you really need is a Dr. Pepper or Mountain Dew in the form of a long-slung, monstrously aggressive, wonderfully white Firebird Trans Am. Don't pass this one up, call today!!!
