Ram-air v8 power
what pontiac called the trans am performance and appearance package was a $725 option offered for firebird hardtops and convertibles and named for the trans american sedan racing series for pony cars. Its performance was powered by the 400-cu.-in., 335hp ram-air iii v8 engine, with the 345hp ram air iv as optional. A road test found that the trans am could accelerate from zero to 60 mph in 6.5 seconds and do the quarter mile in 14.3 seconds from a standing start.
full-width rear wing
the appearance part of the trans am package included a 5-ft. Airfoil spanning the rear, special full-length functional hood air scoops and functional air outlets on the sides directly behind the front wheels. Clad in white paint, the trans
am had two blue stripes running along the full length of the hood and rear deck. Interior appointments included bucket seats.
The firebird trans am made a quiet debut in 1969, but it was destined to become pontiacs best-selling performance car. |
