1994 Pontiac Trans-Am 25th Anniversary

For some odd reason the Trans Am 25th Anniversary edition has been forgotten. Part of the reason was the 20th Anniversary had been so much faster than the other available Trans Ams that year, t set a new performance bar. The 25th Anniversary was back to being an appearance package, owever this didn't mean it didn't have excellent performance. It's just that performance wasn't any better than a stripped down low-budget 1994 Trans Am. The 25th had a color scheme like the 15th Anniversary and 1969 Trans Am - an all white exterior with blue stripes. The cost of the Anniversary package was $995 added to the price of the Trans Am GT (the GT was the upscale model of the Trans Am for 1994). The 15th anniversary had white 16 x 8 inch aluminum wheels and unique 25th Anniversary callouts on the lower exterior portion of the passenger doors. The 25th was the first offering of a Trans Am Anniversary model convertible - both a coupe and convertible were offered. Total 25th Anniversary production was 2,000 units (1750 of these were coupes and only 250 of these were convertibles).

All 25th Anniversary Trans Ams were available with a both a 4-speed automatic transmission with overdrive or a 6-speed manual transmission. Not many 25th Anniversary buyers went with the 6-speed manual, ll convertible buyers opted for the automatic. A 275 horsepower LT1 5.7 liter (350 CID) V8 was standard on all Trans Amsincluding the 25th Anniversary. You could expect a 1/4 mile time in the low-14 second range and a 0-60 mph time of mid-5 second range with a 25th Anniversary which was slightly slower than the 20th Anniversary but faster than both the 10th and 15th Anniversary Trans Ams.
The interior cabin is subjectively one of the best looking of the Anniversary cars. Granted it doesn't have the beautiful aluminum turned metal dash of the 10th Anniversary, ut its space-age modern look is something that you won't easily forget. The stark contrast throughout the entire interior between the white leather seats and the black plastic trim really made the interior stand out and the embroidered 25th Anniversary logos on the front seats and door panels were a nice touch of class. The dash layout wasextremely functional, ll the buttons seemed to be in installed in all the correct places and the gauges were easily readable.
For anyone looking at a future collectable, he 25th Anniversary is just the ticket - their prices are considerably higher than other 1994 Trans Ams but still reasonable for the collector market even for low mileage examples however their values should begin to steady increase since it is approaching the 20 year old mark, o these cars may soon skyrocket in value. The smart collectors will search for a convertible model, ith only 250 produced the 25th Anniversary convertible will be worth much more than the coupe in the future. And the really smart collectors will seek out a 25th Anniversary coupe with a 6-speed manual transmission - only 128 of these were produced. However the rarest of the 25th Anniversary Trans Ams are the RPO R6V Firehawk optioned ones - only 3 (1 convertible and 2 coupes) of these special (SLP) performance cars were produced making these the rarest of the Trans Am anniversary cars.
