Why is this a very significant car in Pontiac History?
2002 was the last year for the TransAm.
Unlike the 2010 Camaro, no more TransAM’s will be ever be built.
TA’s are over & GM has pulled the plug on the entire Pontiac Division
The 35th Anniversary was a tribute to the 35 years of the Firebird/Trans/Am
Only 19 35th Anniversary Blackbird’s were built.
This is the very last Blackbird ever built. #19 of 19
It’s a Phase 2X / 475hp
Why is GMMG & Carl Black Pontiac (Kennesaw, GA) important?
GMMG built special TransAm Blackbird’s & Berger Camaro’s just like the Yenko cars of the late 60’s & 70’s
Like SLP Firehawks & Camaro’s, Shelby & Rousch Mustang’s of today only in much smaller build numbers
What is a Phase 2X / 475hp? .......... $8,030 upgrade
The engine in the TransAm started life as an LS1 / 325hp.
GMMG removed the engine & transmission from the car and did the following upgrades:
DyneTech Full Length Stainless Steel Headers with Cats
Phase 2X Custom Comp Cam
5.3 CNC Ported Race Heads, with gaskets & head bolts (flows over 315CFM)
