AI Listing Summary
This 1981 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am Turbo is a rare survivor, featuring its original turbocharged V8 and extensive cosmetic refurbishment including a fresh repaint and a completely retrimmed interior. It presents as a highly desirable classic American muscle car with a unique custom finish and upgraded modern gauges, though the factory 8-track will require attention.
Condition
8
The car has reportedly benefited from a cosmetic refurbishment including a full repaint and a complete interior retrim. The chassis has also been restored. While the seller states these improvements, the description mentions a requirement for the 8-track stereo to be rebuilt. Given the recent refurbishment and overall positive condition, an 'Excellent' rating is appropriate, acknowledging the minor note about the stereo.

Key facts
This Pontiac Firebird Trans Am Turbo is an increasingly rare turbocharged classic American muscle car, representing the final model year of Pontiac's factory-developed turbocharged V8.
It is powered by a turbocharged 301ci (4.9-litre) V8 featuring its factory Garrett turbocharger, carburettor and computer management system, driving the rear wheels through a three-speed automatic transmission.
This example was originally a US-delivered model, which has since been imported to New Zealand, where it passed compliance in 2021, and has been with the seller for the past five years.
It has reportedly benefited from a cosmetic refurbishment, including a full repaint, a complete interior retrim, a restored chassis and various mechanical improvements under the current ownership.
A modern speedometer is fitted, and the seller states that the total mileage is believed to be circa 69,000 miles.
