  • Imported to Netherlands with duty and taxes paid; registration pending
  • Eye-catching Pontiac bonnet decals and matching wheels

The Appeal

The Pontiac Trans Am remains one of the most recognisable and desirable American muscle cars, its 6.6-litre V8 and bold styling embodying an era of uncompromising performance. Few classics deliver the same visceral thrill, and the Trans Am continues to command attention wherever it goes.
This example has benefited from significant mechanical and cosmetic attention, with both the engine and gearbox having been rebuilt and a host of new components fitted throughout. The vendor reports the bodywork and interior present well, with only minor wear to the driver's seat. Imported to the Netherlands with duty and taxes already paid, this Trans Am presents an appealing opportunity for anyone seeking a well-sorted example of an American icon with much of the hard work already done.
