1982 Pontiac Firebird Coupe Trans Am Recaro Edition 5.0L Petrol RWD AT LHD
Key Facts
This is what happens when Detroit stops being polite and starts getting serious.The 1982 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am Recaro Edition isn’t some soft retro cruiser — it’s a street-fighting, tire-smoking, V8-powered icon from an era when muscle cars were built to intimidate before the key even turned. Long nose. Low roof. Wide shoulders. This thing looks like it’s doing 100 mph standing still.
Under the hood lives a 5.0L V8, sending power straight to the rear wheels through an automatic gearbox that was made for lighting them up and letting the exhaust talk. It’s raw. It’s mechanical. And it sounds exactly the way a Trans Am should — deep, angry, and unmistakably American.

Condition
The Recaro Edition – Rare and Ruthless
This isn’t a regular Trans Am. This is the Recaro Edition — a factory-built, hard-to-find performance spec that separated the real cars from the rest. The Recaro seats weren’t about comfort — they were about locking you in place when you mashed the throttle and pointed the bird at the horizon.
Pontiac didn’t build many of these. Most were driven hard, modded, abused, or flat-out destroyed. Finding one today — especially one that hasn’t been beaten into the ground — is a serious score.
Equipment & Features
This Trans Am doesn’t care about trends. It doesn’t care about efficiency. It doesn’t care about being subtle.It exists to look mean, sound brutal, and remind everyone why American muscle still hits different.
If you want something quiet, modern, and polite — keep scrolling.
If you want a fire-breathing piece of Detroit muscle history that makes zero excuses…
This is your car.
Service History
Behind the WheelTurn the key and you don’t just start an engine — you wake something up.
The V8 settles into a deep idle. The hood stretches out in front of you like a runway. The car squats when you get on it, the rear wheels doing exactly what rear wheels were born to do. No filters. No drive modes. No fake noise through speakers.
Just engine, attitude, and asphalt.
Summary
Low Miles. Big Attitude.With just 43,000 miles, this Trans Am has survived when most didn’t. That mileage isn’t just a number — it’s proof this car avoided decades of burnouts, bad mods, and backyard “restorations.” It still carries the presence, the feel, and the soul that made the Trans Am a legend in the first place.
This is the kind of car that turns parking lots into photo shoots and gas stations into conversations.
