It may not be made anymore, but the Pontiac Firebird Trans Am model still has a following that will never fade, even from halfway around the world. That’s why specialty shops like Restore A Muscle Car exist, giving Trans Am enthusiasts a place to turn for their restoration needs.

As we found out from the company’s post on Pro-Touring.com, Restore A Muscle Car recently took on a special project for a customer overseas and the results are amazing! Check out the amazing Restore A Muscle Car-built ‘80 pro-touring Trans Am in the video above.

The Trans Am is fitted with a 496cui Chevy V8 equipped with an Eagle forged crankshaft, Brodix Race-Rite aluminum cylinder heads, a COMP Cams Hydraulic Lifter camshaft, MSD Pro Billet distributor, Be Cool aluminum radiator and fans, Holley 1,000hp Pro Systems Induction System and a Holley fuel pump.

Behind the 640+hp engine sits a TCI Super Street Fighter Turbo 400 transmission capable of pushing pure power to the ground, which can be heard through the Trans Am’s custom 3-inch Pypes exhaust and Turbo mufflers.

A car isn’t a pro-touring beast without the proper suspension system, so Restore A Muscle Car equipped the Trans Am with a full Detroit Speed Engineering setup. This included a hydroformed sub-frame, coil-overs, tubular control arms, and rack-and-pinion steering in the front, along with a four-link system, Panhard bar and mini-tubs in the rear.

The car also has a GM 12-bolt rear end with 3.73 gears. Stopping power for the boisterous muscle car comes from Baer six-piston calipers and 13-inch rotors on all four corners.

With this beefy DSE setup, the Trans Am will wreak havoc on and off the track

To give the Trans Am a bit of nostalgic flair, the car was given a custom YearOne spoiler and shaker hood. It was then finished off in show-quality white paint with custom platinum silver decals created by Phoenix Graphix. Fitted with an all-black interior, the whole package sits atop 18-inch YearOne Billet Snowflake Wheels wrapped in BF Goodrich rubber.

If you aren’t drooling by now, you may be in the wrong hobby because this Trans Am is downright gorgeous in every aspect. So what could be better? Well, Restore A Muscle Car actually created two of these beasts, nearly identical to each other for the same customer. The only noticeable difference is that the second ‘80 Trans Am is a T-top car finished in black show-quality paint with custom dragon and true-fire graphics by Killer Paint’s Mike Lavallee.
