Pontiac Trans Am history and evolution
Pontiac first introduced the Trans Am name in 1969 as an optional performance and appearance package on the Pontiac Firebird. Sporting a polar white exterior and blue racing stripes, this high-performance version of Pontiac's popular pony car offered a 335 horsepower V8 engine and variable-ratio power steering. From 1969 to 2002, the Pontiac Trans Am evolved through four generations alongside the Pontiac Firebird. The late '70s saw sales skyrocket after a black and gold Pontiac Trans Am was featured in the movie Smokey and the Bandit. As immortalized on screen, the iconic "Screaming Chicken" hood decal was available from 1973 to 1987.
Pontiac Trans Am features
As with any car, features can vary widely between model years and trim levels. The most powerful Pontiac Trans Am was actually the first. From 1971, engine power dropped, never reaching that initial 335 horsepower mark again, due to the switch from leaded to unleaded fuel and increased emissions regulations. The final model, the 2002 Pontiac Trans Am, was produced in both two-door coupe and convertible styles, offered a 310 horsepower V8 engine, your choice of four-speed automatic or six-speed manual transmission and rear-wheel drive. Available comfort and safety features include leather-trimmed bucket seats, air conditioning, dual airbags and anti-lock brakes.
