1986 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am 305 V8 4bbl from North America
Summary:
A beautiful car that is getting more scarce
Faults:
This car has had many things replaced by the previous owner:
Alternator
Tune up
Brakes
Shocks
Control arm
Exhaust
Tires and more
Right now it needs a transmission mount and a new radiator.
The interior is a bio-hazard and it needs a front bumper, but these are because of the previous owner.
Fan had to be wired to a switch to work (was like this in my 89 Formula as well)
General Comments:
Sounds great, looks decent, after work is done will look great. Engine is very quiet and drives well; especially surprising because of the high mileage.
Nice, cheaper sporty car; won't win you any races with newer cars (dated technology) but still is fast and fun to take out on a nice day. Wish it had T-Tops, but nothing's perfect.
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Don't Know

Since writing this post I decided to try to impress a girl and revved the engine in the cold. Cracked the intake manifold. I was then forced to sell the car. And grow up a little in the process and start to drive an economy car.
