It has a 77/78 nose not an 81. The shaker does not fit the hood properly.
The shaker also is not the correct one, it is too tall.Mar 14, 2024

This is the last year of this F-body style, and I believe it is the last year of an awesome body style.
Of course that is when I was in my teens, and the new smaller versions were not as appealing to me Aug 22, 2023

It came from the factory with a V-6 ,but was running a Chevy 305V8. It was greenand had camaro rims,and a hurst shifter. This car good power but previous owners did ghetto repairs on it which fell into my lap. the mufflers kept falling off. and the engine oil dipstick was being held on by some electrical tape.
Despite all that i still managed to smoke a Mustang LX with a 5.0 in it top end. estimated at approximately 150mph. the body was flawless and i even took a 90 degree turn at 55mph kicking it sideways while still maintaining control.Oct 18, 2009

I like the way it handles I wish the braking power was better.
Finding parts is always a fun task. I wish it had a bigger motor because it only has a baby 265 4.3 V8 but on the up side gas millage is pretty goodMar 03, 2009

1981 Firebird Trans-am brake problem
I have a 1981 Trans-am firebird. The brake light was staying on. I changed the mastercylinder, proportioning valve, the hydrobooster, and have bleed the brakes several times. Now it comes on when I push the brakes all the way down. I notice that when I set the park brakes, the light doesn't come on. No schematic in my TM. Thoughts???
