In "The Office", Dwight is fiercely proud of owning what muscle car?

In “The Office,” Dwight is fiercely proud of owning a Pontiac Firebird Trans Am.

The maroon Trans Am becomes Dwight Schrute’s signature vehicle during the series. It appears prominently in episodes including “The Fire,” when Dwight sits in the car listening to music after starting the office fire, and “The Injury.” Its distinctive 1980s styling fits Dwight’s love of toughness, machinery, and anything he considers militarily or technologically impressive.

The car is commonly identified as a 1987 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am. The Firebird was Pontiac’s sporty coupe, while “Trans Am” was its high-performance trim and best-known nameplate. That makes “Pontiac Firebird” and “Trans Am” related but slightly different levels of specificity; the stored answer correctly gives the full commonly accepted name.

A possible source of confusion is Dwight’s other vehicles. In the pilot, he mentions owning and restoring a 1978 Datsun 280Z, and he later buys Andy’s Nissan Xterra. However, the Trans Am is the car most strongly associated with Dwight throughout the show.
