“Fourth generation (Pontiac Trans Am, 1993-2002): “High-powered options returned, including the LS V8, combined with amplified aerodynamic styling and the best handling ever for a pony car.” -MuscleCar.UK

Here's what one '95 Trans Am owner had to say to Edmunds in May, 2006: “Best bang for your buck. It is truly the fastest thing out there for the price you pay. I love the way it looks and the performance. My car has blue/green chameleon paint and it is something to see. Not many other cars under 50K can outperform my Trans Am. Corvette comes to mind, but I can't think of any others. Will kick the crap out of mustangs any day of the week and you can take that to the bank. The pros definitely out-weigh the cons.”

Offered here is a 1995 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am in (code O5U) Medium Dark Purple over Graphite Leather (code 122,123) under a power-operated black fabric soft top. According to TransAmWorld.com, out of 56,723 Firebirds manufactured in the 1995 model year, only some 16,000 were Trans Ams. Making this particular car even more special: it is one of just 71 Trans Am convertibles created that year in this striking purple metallic color. The car's odometer shows 81,039 miles currently, or roughly 3,000 miles per-year on average since new.

The original exterior paint is in excellent overall condition with high gloss and smooth-as-glass finish. The only flaws are rock chips on the front fascia and minor chips on the hood and trunk that have not been touched-up to retain factory originality. There are no dings, dents, or other damage to any of the sheet-metal body panels. (To best assess the quality of the paint and trim finishes, please be sure to view the close-up photographs of the car in the accompanying gallery.) The fabric convertible top is free of rips, tears, or significant wear. Cabin glass (including on the rear window) and all lighting lenses (including the front driving lights and the original smoked rear taillight panel) are clear and free of cracks. Badging includes the Firebird applique in front, color-matched “Trans AM” door emblems, and “Pontiac” embossing on the rear bumper cover. Factory 5-spoke, 16-inch, alloy wheels with “ABS”-branded center caps are mounted with Cooper® Zeon RS3-A 60-series HR tires.

The Trans Am's interior color theme is gray and it's a perfect complement to the purple exterior. Door panels blend light-gray vinyl and charcoal-gray hard plastic in a stylish design. Light-gray carpeting (showing light soiling in particular in the driver's footwell) covers the cabin floors. Well-bolstered front bucket and rear 2-person seats are upholstered in light gray leather with perforated inserts. (Please view the close-up photography in the gallery to assess the condition of the Trans Am's various interior surfaces.) A black, 4-spoke, multi-function SRS steering wheel with Pontiac-logo embossing frames the comprehensive analog instrumentation characteristic of the Trans Am package. Instrument and switchgear graphic markings are crisp and unfaded. The center stack on the black dashboard includes the factory-mounted audio system above the HVAC controls. The console hosts the leather-topped t-bar shift handle for the automatic transmission alongside the emergency-brake handle forward of the combination armrest-storage compartment.

Under the hood, the 5.7-liter GM LT1 275-horsepower V8 is center-stage in a very clean and fully stock-appearing engine bay. There are no indications of aftermarket performance modifications. Viewed from below, the chassis is clean, well-ordered, and free of damage. Dual-exhaust pipes tipped with 4-opening, chrome ends are a visual focal point. (To best evaluate the condition of undercarriage surfaces, please review the gallery photos shot from below.)

The car's factory-mounted identification and information tags remain in place.
