Easy Dealer to dealer transaction.
Easy Dealer to dealer transaction. Have worked with them in the past and will continue to do so. Thanks Leo.
I had a 97 formula T-Top with the LT1, the stock
I had a 97 formula T-Top with the LT1, the stock mufflerwasn't all that but the Flowmaster was a compliment to the 5.7L 350 cubic inch V8.it road comfortably from the driver seat but the back seats you either had your knees up in your face or the front passenger seat all in your grill. You are driving one of the elite machines setting in the Pontiac cockpit. I enjoyed just starting that car the rumble and the roar when it fired and the humble rumble while crusin along and 70mph was it's sweet spot their wasn't a curve it couldn't handle at 70 just let off the gas and it would glide steady and that my friend is a different perspective of comfortable. I got several careless but doing 105 in a 50 got me a wreckless driving. But it's been nearly 30yrs and I still dream about that car I hope to get another one someday

Everything was exactly as described!
Everything was exactly as described! Very friendly and helpful staff. I flew in from out of state and was very pleased with my purchase!
Great & fun car
97 Trans Am with LT1. Incredibly cool and smooth cruiser, monster sprinter and all round fun as xxxx to drive. Fuel economy surprisingly good by todays standards. Engine rated at 285HP but seems to be at least 300. Super comfy in the front, even on long haul journeys. Horrible in the back! Interior looks fine but is cheaply built, plastic interior comes loose all over the place. Rain gets in the car as well, windows don’t close properly. I also had issues with window motors… Handles very nicely and carves the curves. Wonderful voice :) Great heating and ac. Terrible windshield, glares and reflects like xxxx. Got mine second hand in top notch condition for 7000, so a xxxx fine deal

I was a little skeptical about purchasing a vehicle I had
I was a little skeptical about purchasing a vehicle I had not seen in person, the owner Michael was extremely helpful and reassured his words were honest, happy to say we are pleased with the purchase. Had this beauty shipped to Texas and it arrived in a timely manner. Definitely recommend!
Fun at an affordable price.
I love my Firebird. It's fast, fun to drive. Very comfortable to drive and handles like it's on rails. My opinion - it's like driving a jet powered go kart. Also, very affordable to repair and/or modify.

I recently purchased a vehicle from Genuine Motor Company
I recently purchased a vehicle from Genuine Motor Company after finding it through an online marketplace—and I’m so glad I did. Even though I was a several hundred miles away, the entire experience was smooth, honest, and well worth the trip. From the very first interaction, Devin was outstanding. He was responsive, informative, incredibly easy and even fun to work with. He answered all my questions promptly, sent detailed information and photos, and made sure I felt confident about the vehicle before I even arrived. His transparency and professionalism really stood out and was much appreciated. My second interaction was just as outstanding. Kyle was there to quickly address any questions and was instrumental in making sure all the paperwork was processed making the transaction quick and transparent. Behind the scenes, Sam helped every step of the way making it as smooth as possible. When I made the trip to pick up the car, everything was exactly as described—no surprises, no pressure, just a clean, well-maintained vehicle ready to go. The entire team was friendly, supportive, and clearly committed to customer satisfaction. It’s rare to find a dealership that makes long-distance buying feel this effortless and trustworthy. I’d make the drive all over again without hesitation and would highly recommend Genuine Motors to family and friends. Genuine Motor Company is exactly what the name says—genuine, through and through. They truly went above and beyond! Do yourself a favor and contact Devin if you are in the market for purchasing a car and see how stress free it really can be.
I love this car
I have had trans ams or firebirds for many, many years. they are sporty cars. and I wish GM would bring them back. and they get great gas mileage, with the 6 cylinder
There are 12 matching cars close to your year range.
