1986 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am 305 Tuned Port from North America
Summary:
Fun car, great styling, just need to be faster so it will beat some stangs!
Faults:
Two days after I bought the car, the transmisson went out (700-R-Junk)
Two months later alternator went out.
One week after that, the fuel pump went out, that's not fun to change!
Had to replace the exhaust manifold gaskets.
General Comments:
I am not satisfied with the 305 TPI, needs a 383 Stroker badly. Other than repairs listed above, nothing really major has gone wrong, it's never left me stranded anywhere.
It is a fun car, love to drive it, and love to go cruising in the summer with the T-tops out, but it does like to run hot, needs a dual fan set-up.
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes

I agree. The 1986 firebird is a great car.
