1987 Pontiac Firebird 5.0 4bbl

Summary:

It gets the ladies

Faults:

One coolant pipe ruptured around 88,000 miles; it was replaced for a fifty cents.

Cloth seats on the driver's side are starting to rip.

Both front seat belts both broke the day after I purchased the car, but they were replaced.

Both lower-end tie-rods had to be replaced at 99,000 due to age.

General Comments:

This car is such a gas guzzler. I can't keep a full tank of gas for more than 4 days. It's horrible.

But this car generally gets up and goes. It's awesome, even for a small block V8.

This car is in perfect condition with no dings, dents, scratches or any rust at all!

It's hard to start sometimes though, because it has a carburetor, but generally it's not problematic.

1987 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am WS6 5.0L 350ci

Summary:

Sexy, sexy, sexy, and sexy!

Faults:

I replaced the water pump the first week I had it. Timing belt was still o.k. Valve seals blew out, apparently was a common problem. Turns out Chevrolet and Pontiac had just collaborated concepts that year so it was the fist year of GM parts. They decided to make the valve seals flat instead of umbrella shaped so that the exhaust and intake valves, so they thought, would perform better...Wrong!

General Comments:

I absolutely loved that car! I have never driven a car that gave me so much pleasure! Being a girl and gear head at that... this car really gave me everything that I needed: versatility, power, performance, and style! If your looking to buy a corvette, take a look at the Trans Am WS6 edition first. They are hard to come by now, but if you find one... You'll never get rid of it! This car never left me stranded!

1987 Pontiac Firebird 2.8L H.O.

Summary:

A well worth investment

Faults:

The only thing that has gone wrong so far is the distributor, which I have had replaced. Other than that, there is nothing wrong.

General Comments:

This is an EXTREMELY nice car; brand new paint job, perfect red cloth interior, 4-speed auto, Performance chip, stock dual exhaust with resonated tips, handles sharp corners with ease, the tint on the windows help.

Soon to come: B&M auto shifter, K&N air intake, Ram airIII hood, another performance chip, and most of all... I'm gonna be droppin' in a 350 or a 389.

1987 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am 5.7 350ci

Summary:

A sexy, fun, and stylish vehicle!

Faults:

My sway bar and drag links went after 20,000 of hard driving. Not too expensive to fix.

The valve seals were a recall part on this vehicle. Too expensive to fix.

General Comments:

The car takes off quick.

I love to drive on long curvy country roads.

Very fun and sexy, it gives me goosebumps.

The seats are comfortable, but after long hours of driving my legs hurt.

The interior of my Trans Am is very attractive and stylish. I don't think the style will ever look too nostalgic.

I cannot wait to get into my car in the morning.

I get up two hours early just to drive when there is no traffic.

1987 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am 5.0

Summary:

A true woman magnet

Faults:

The alternator went out due to my stereo system. The throttle positioning sensor and idle air control sensor went out after power washing the engine. Other than that it is flawless.

General Comments:

This is a truly beautiful car that has helped me in the women category more times than I can count. It is extremely flashy and has the performance to back it all up. It is a ton of fun to take through turns and to take off the t-tops and just plain show off.

1987 Pontiac Firebird 2.8L V6

Summary:

Great, Fast starter car

Faults:

Sagging Headliner.

General Comments:

This car would have to be one of the best entry-level sports cars made. For someone who is just starting to drive, it's perfect!

The acceleration in this car is amazing, even for the tiny V6.

I bought a new 1987 Fire bird in April of 87, a beautiful red with grey interior. I absolutely loved driving it, the best handling car I have ever driven.

Had a lot of mechanical problems with it, the power steering unit went out once, and the belt on the motor broke many times until it was recalled and fixed. Also had to put 2 transmissions in it. I guess everyone would say it was a bad experience, yes, but I still loved the car, it was the sportiest, fastest take off, and drove like a dream, I still miss it, it was my dream car. Connie.
