Gateway Classic Cars of San Antonio/Austin is proud to present this 1996 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am WS6 w/T-tops! Debuting all the way back in 1967, Pontiac unveiled the Firebird, a competent pony car, brother to the Camaro and fellow competitor to the well-known and mighty Ford Mustang. The Firebird would see many changes over the years, but one thing is for certain, they all looked good. The Firebird would see 4 generations that would span 35 years. For Formulas and Trans Am's in '96, functional dual inlet "Ram Air" hoods returned as part of the WS6 performance package, as well as upgraded shocks & suspension springs and bushings, larger roll-bars, 17" wheels and the dual oval exhaust tips. This T/A is powered by a healthy 5.7-liter V8 linked to a Tremec T56 6-speed manual transmission with a new Competition clutch, limited-slip differential and WS6 Ram Air Performance and Handling Package. The car is finished in Bright Red and features removable glass roof panels. Additional equipment includes a rear spoiler, Ram Air hood, a power antenna, pop-up headlights, fog lights, and dual exhaust outlets. The interior is upholstered in black leather bucket seats with a color-coordinated dashboard, center console, carpets, and door panels. The interior amenities include a Pioneer radio, a short throw shifter, air conditioning, cruise control, remote keyless entry, bolstered front seats, and power accessories. Chrome Corvette style 17" alloy wheels are mounted with 275/40s on all four corners and four-wheel anti-lock disc brakes came standard. The leather-wrapped multifunction steering wheel fronts a 155-mph speedometer, a 7k-rpm tachometer and auxiliary gauges that include oil pressure, coolant temperature, battery voltage and fuel level. The six-digit mechanical odometer shows just under 127k Carfax reported miles. These cars are growing rapidly amongst collectors and this one will certainly be a fine addition!
