One of the most recognizable cars to come out of the muscle car era, is the second generation Trans Am. These cars featured bold styling that could not be mistaken for anything but a Pontiac Trans Am. This striking 1971 example also represents the beginning of the 455 engine. Designed to replace the iconic Pontiac400, the 455 would quickly develop a close following among Pontiacenthusiasts.
For buyers of a 1971 Pontiac Trans Am, there were only two colours to choose between, Cameo White, or as this example shows, Lucerne Blue with white striping. Powered by a strong running numbers matching 455 4bbl HO engine factory rated at 305hp, with numbers matching 4 speed Muncie transmission and factory Posi rear end, this car is also equipped with power steering, power front disc brakes, sport steering wheel with tilt, rear window defogger, a modern stereo head unit and modern radial tires, making for a terrific car to get out and enjoy the summer months with. Having been very well maintained since new, it still turns heads everywhere and has the look that screams Trans Am. It also benefits from having the best documentation available including not just the fantastic information provided by Pontiac Historical Services, but also being an original Canadian car it also comes complete with an information package from GM of Canada’s Vintage Vehicle Services. A genuine Trans Am, extremely well documented and in terrific overall condition …. This is what Pontiacenthusiasts dream about.
