1966 Pontiac GTO
This seller has a huge & impressive inventory. Nick showed me the vehicle I bought and I found he's not your typical car salesman. He's very knowledgeable and was a pleasure to deal with. The day I picked up my car I got a glimpse of where they detail and service their vehicles. I saw the time and effort they put into their inventory. I don't normally leave reviews; but, I was so pleased with my experience I felt I needed to.
If there was 10 stars I'd give them a 10.
I've dealt with many people & have quite a few cars. Dealing with Vintage from start to the end of the deal was excellent. The communication is great. They have such a great selection of cars there and everything about them is so professional. I even mentioned they have a VW Microbus that if they fix a little they can get double the $$$ but they don't do that & they have some gems. I love the place & I totally trust them with any deal.
I can't say enough about my experience!
When I bought my 71 MBZ 600, I thought that I was paying a high price, but when I got my car, I realized that this was the best car in my collection. Thank you Tom for selling this car to me.

THIS 1980 PONTIAC FIREBIRD ESPIRIT TRANS AM IS LOCATED IN: SANDSTON, VA 23150
The Pontiac Firebird is an American automobile that was built and produced by Pontiac from the 1967 to 2002 model years. Designed as a pony car to compete with the Ford Mustang and Mercury Cougar, it was introduced on February 23, 1967, simultaneous with GM's Chevrolet division platform-sharing Camaro. This also coincided with the release of the 1967 Mercury Cougar, Ford's upscale, platform-sharing version of the Mustang.
The name "Firebird" was also previously used by GM for the General Motors Firebird in the 1950s and early 1960s concept cars.
Second generation (1970–1981)
The second-generation debut for the 1970 model year was delayed until February 26, 1970, because of tooling and engineering problems; thus, its popular designation as a 1970½ model, while leftover 1969s were listed in early Pontiac literature without a model-year identification. This generation of Firebirds were available in coupe form only; after the 1969 model year, convertibles were not available until 1989.
1980
In 1980, ever-increasing emissions restrictions led Pontiac to drop all of its large-displacement engines. 1980 therefore saw the biggest engine changes for the Trans Am. The 301, offered in 1979 as a credit option, was now the standard engine. Options included a turbocharged 301 or the Chevrolet 305 small block. The turbocharged 301 used a Garrett TB305 turbo forcing air through a single Rochester Quadrajet 4-barrel carburetor, which was, however, too antiquated to take full advantage of the forced air from the turbo. Also, low-octane (87–90) fuels would have led to severe detonation had it not been for the engine control unit, which led to the cars feeling not very powerful at all. Some owners have claimed quite reasonable performance numbers with the modern fuels though.
A 1980 Turbo Trans Am was featured in the movie Smokey and the Bandit II, but was fitted with nitrous oxide tanks by Marvin Miller Systems to get the desired performance.
