    1985 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am for sale, 305 TPI V8

    Hi guys


    Lately it has been hitting me how unpractical this car is now I have two kids, even as a car to go out in with my little one its still not ideal as the 4 point harnesses don't work great with a kids seat lol!






    1985 Trans Am Firebird
    305 Chevy small block with TPI injection (220BHP)
    MOT for about another 8 months
    2 previous owners in UK
    car shows 95k on the clock which going by the condition and the fact the floor has only just been welded , i can believe


    Car has had.......
    2 new front tyres,
    Front Discs and Pads
    Rear pads
    Hand Brake Cables
    Front Brake Hoses
    Dizzy Cap
    Rotor Arm
    Plugs
    Leads
    02 Sensor
    Inlet Gaskets
    New Injectors (all 8 costing £350)
    4 point harness mounted to original GM seatbelt mount points
    new rad cap


    New Thermostat and housing to be fitted


    Electric windows,cruise control, PAS, TH700R4 Gearbox, 2 Ways Posi Diff (Borg Warner 9 bolt 3.45 FD)
    the car averages 17MPG around town but does 26mpg on a run


    The car was originally burgundy but due to it being many different shades I painted it satin black, the car will come with the standard wheels, the ones pictured are still currently available but i didnt like the offset on them and they scrubbed on the front inner arches.


    The engine runs well and always starts, it could do with a new header tank as it isnt quite holding pressure. It never overheats etc but sometimes bubbles due to the pressure.


    I have covered about 1500 miles in it and never been broke down. It really turns heads and is LOUD (this is due to the exhaust finishing just behind the axle and having no silencers)


    I don't really want to get rid but I know I will never get the chance to use it as I was hoping and something with more seats would be helpful.


    To fit the 4 point harnesses I removed the rear seat bases but these are still at my house and would come with the car (rear seat belts not present)


    The gearbox has developed a fault and has been diagnosed and possible clutch failure within the box, rebuild kits are £150-180 from Real Steel. I just don't have the time/money to invest in it any more




    Many Thanks


    Jim , Dorset

    Still for sale on eBay starting at £2200

    Guy who viewed it wanted it and said how much better it was in person than in the pics

    Only reason he cannot buy is due to his buyer letting him down on buying his bike.

    Really surprised it hasn't gonE
