[net.auto] 1983 Firebird

wookie (11/16/82)

On your new firebird you may order a wide ratio 4 speed manual, 5 speed
manual & overdrive, or a 4 speed automatic overdrive.  There is also an
optional 2.8 litre high output V6 available.  The Firebird S/E offers
a new fully articulated front bucket seat by Lear Siegler with Recaros
being offered in a special edition Trans-Am ... They're trimmed in Doeskin
no less!  
How is Doeskin different from buckskin?

I guess that doeskin is from does, while buckskin is from bucks.

But about the trannies -- is the x-fire V8 (Trans Am) still only being
offered with auto, or can you now get the manuals with it?  Thanks to
the emission control engine certification procedures, there have always
been problems with getting certain engine/transmission combinations.
What are the available T/A engines and transmissions for 83?
