1982 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am Special Edition | 5.0L Cross-Fire Injection | Rebuilt V8
Some cars capture a moment in time. This 1982 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am Special Edition (W87) captures the start of a new chapter. The 1982 model year introduced the third-generation Firebird: lower, sleeker, and unmistakably of the 1980s, with Pontiac’s signature long hood, dramatic profile, and rear hatch. The Special Edition designation adds to the appeal of an already memorable first-year car. Under the hood is the VIN-indicated 5.0-liter 305-cu.-in. V8 with Cross-Fire injection. Its twin throttle-body setup gives this Firebird a distinctive piece of early ’80s GM engineering—and a fun connection to the 1982 Corvette, which also used Cross-Fire injection. The Firebird’s engine was rebuilt in 2006, and only low mileage has been added since. The car received a major repaint in Alpine White in 2013, and the paint presents in excellent condition. Inside, black leather Corbeau GTS II seats bring a purposeful, driver-focused look to the cabin. This is a compelling combination: a first-year third-generation Firebird, Special Edition identity, fuel-injected V8 character, documented engine work , and striking white presentation. Photos documenting the 2006 engine rebuild and the 2013 repaint are included with the vehicle’s history. This Firebird is ready to be enjoyed by someone who appreciates the cars that helped define Pontiac’s performance era.
