1971 Pontiac Trans Am
Beginning of the 455 T/A
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.
Only two colour options were offered for Trans Am buyers in 1971, Cameo White, and Lucerne Blue. This one features the latter of the two, with matching blue interior. Powered by the desirable Pontiac 455 engine and 4-speed transmission, this car has loads of power and torque making for an exhilarating ride for both driver and passenger. It also comes with the compulsory shaker hood with 455 H/O designation, Goodyear Polyglas GT tires on Rally II wheels, and is of course fully documented by General Motors of Canada and Pontiac Historic Services. With only 2,116 Trans Ams being built, of which 1,231 had automatics and only 885 with 4 speeds, this nicely restored T/A would make a great addition to the collection or driveway of any muscle car enthusiast looking to make a statement, or simply to have a car to drive and enjoy.
