2002 Pontiac Firebird Convertible

Selling at Mecum Indy May 9 Lot # J194 2002 Pontiac Firebird convertible Terry 962-451-2104 The fourth generation of Firebird introduced in 1993 turned out to be the last one for this iconic model. The famous Trans Am returned and the most significant visual update came in 1998, which included a facelift that gave the car a new hood and front fascia. Most notably, starting in 1998 power was now provided by the LS1 V8 engine from the C5 Corvette, which was lighter, more powerful, and more easily tuned than the LT-series V8 engines it replaced. A 2000 Motor Trend test of a Trans Am found that the car could do zero to 60 mph in five seconds flat and the quarter mile in 13.5 seconds, and it pulled 0.84 g on the skid pad. The test concluded that it had the perfect 60s exhaust note that s equal parts Woodward Avenue and Daytona 500. There was talk of building a new Firebird as the fifth-generation Camaro was being developed, but the death of Pontiac in 2010 put an end to that. Instead, 2002 would be the last year for the Firebird, and this highly original 25,349-mile Trans Am Convertible dressed in Pewter Metallic shows us what we ve been missing ever since.
