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 Pontiac 400, the 455 would quickly develop
a close following among Pontiac enthusiasts.
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 Pontiac enthusiasts dream about.
