The Pontiac Firebird is not a new name in the muscle car world. In fact, the model serves as a time capsule that perfectly represents the golden age of muscle cars. The Firebird has become a coveted classic today and among the various trims that were offered, the Trans Am is the top-of-the-line performance-oriented trim. The second-generation Firebird was introduced in 1970. It was the last hurrah of American muscle before the first of the fuel crises hit in the late 1970s, which crippled the entire line-ups of muscle cars for generations to come. Up for grabs today at Exotic Car Trader is a stunning 1973 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am 455 with just over 54,000 miles on the clock.
The Pontiac Firebird was introduced as an upscale version of GM's other muscle car, the Chevrolet Camaro. It shows this with its design language and similar body lines to its cousin. Our featured car has a brutish elegance with beautiful flowing lines, which are accented with wide hips and shoulders. The beautiful red paint job accents the body lines perfectly, while the burning phoenix on the bonnet lets everyone know you’re rolling in a Firebird. The shaker hood rumbles in between the wings of the phoenix, with a ginormous V8 sitting beneath it. This car sits on a set of period-correct 15-inch Cragar S/S alloy wheels. With a full restoration done 20 years ago, everything still looks immaculate, from the paintwork to the brake calipers on all four corners. Inside, you are greeted with beautifully restored and upkept black leather bucket seats, which will hold you tight while you rip through the streets in this beast of a muscle car.
Powering this Firebird Trans Am L75 is a 455 cubic inch V8 that produces 250 horsepower and 370 earth-shattering pound-feet of torque. It transmits power to the ground through a three-speed automatic transmission. During the restoration, the engine was rebuilt and is reported to have run only 10,000 since. Along with the rebuilt engine, a new transmission and rear end were also put in for a hassle-free driving experience.
Pontiac’s Firebird is an iconic car. It was made between 1967 and 2002 across four generations, and the sister car of Chevy’s Camaro. Notably, the second and third generations of Firebird had significant screen presences, in the shape of featuring prominently on Smokey and the Bandit (second generation), as well as Knight Rider (third generation). It’s no surprise, given that the second-generation’s muscular and pumped-up looks lent itself well to star alongside Burt Reynolds, while the third generation’s sleek computer-graphics esque design was perfect to be the car of the future – talking and all. Today, we’ve got a nice second-generation 1979 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am for sale from The Villages, Florida. This machine has got the Oldsmobile 403ci V8 under the hood, and rolls on a set of aftermarket Snowflake wheels. We’re also informed that the interior has been reupholstered.
The Pontiac Firebird, introduced In 1967 alongside its sister car the Chevy Camaro is one of the most well-known pony cars of its time. Directly targeted at Ford’s Mustang, the Firebird gained fame in two major TV series of the Seventies and Eighties, namely Smokey and the Bandit, and Knight Rider. That’s why even today it’s a cult classic and a desirable car despite the fact that Firebirds stopped being made in 2002.

In the current era we are living in, the automotive world is slowly but surely leaning towards EVs. However, our fellow seasoned automotive enthusiasts recall a time when cars used to represent art on wheels, and a V8 engine would provide the background symphony.

Born from the desire to be free of corporate constraint, the Pontiac GTO is a lesson in defiance. It shows what happens when men figure out a way to rage against the corporate machine in a creative way. You see, General Motors had banned their auto divisions from competing in auto racing for some ridiculous reason. However, executives such as John Z. DeLorean, Russ Gee and Bill Collins knew that this was outrageous. They felt the desire to find a way to buck the rules, and they easily found it. Because why not give customers a turn-key racer that’s thinly veiled as a street car? After all, you can’t control how your customers use your car once they’ve paid the purchase price and driven off the lot, can you? Hence, the GTO was born, with a name inspired by a Ferrari legend. Today, we have a 1965 Pontiac GTO for sale from Evansville, Wisconson. This symbol of rebelliousness is available with under 100,000 miles on the clock, a 389 Tri-Power under the hood and a Muncie 4-speeder taking care of shifting. If you want it in your life, don’t waste any more time, talk to us!
Pontiac, founded in 1926 was responsible for many all-American heroes of the automotive scene. Names such as Firebird, GTO, Bonneville, Tempest and Fiero are still held in high regard today. Sadly, the Pontiac division was shut down by GM in 2010. In their later years, they continued to create an interesting car every now and then. The Solstice was one of them, a compact two-door convertible sports car that was made between 2006 and 2010. That’s what we have here, a 2006 Pontiac Solstice Roadster from San Antonio, Texas. It’s got a 2.4-liter Ecotec 4-cylinder, a convertible top, and is rear-wheel drive as you’d expect from any self-respecting sports car. With just over 35,000 miles on the odometer, this curio could be yours!

Chevy’s answer to Ford’s pony car challenge, the Camaro came in 1967 and brought a sister along for the ride, in the shape of the Pontiac Firebird. This was a smart move by General Motors as it allowed them to sell two suitably varied models in the same segment but with much of the same underpinnings, engines and other components. The Firebird was axed in 2002 but the Camaro continued to be made until 2024. That makes it the second longest-running pony car in history. Today, we’ve got a nice first-generation 1969 Chevrolet Camaro SS for sale in St. Cloud, Florida.

Chevy’s second-generation Corvette was made from 1963 to 1967, but across that relatively short lifcycle, over 117,000 examples found homes. This highlights how popular the Corvette was back then, much like it is now. The second generation or C2 brought about many features that we know from later ‘Vettes, such as pop-up headlamps, the boat-tailed styling, and the exclusive use of V8s for the Corvette – the C1 did offer a six cylinder early in its lifecycle but that wasn’t deemed worthy for a top-tier sports car. Today, we’ve got a 1967 Chevrolet Corvette Coupe for sale from Shohola, Pennsylvania, and let us tell you it’s a catch.

Chevy’s third-generation Corvette of 1968 to 1982 was the best-seller in the entire range, in terms of generational numbers. Thanks to its super-long production run, over 542,000 were made, despite it carrying on through the dreaded Malaise Era. During these dark times for automotive enthusiasts, Chevy worked hard to maintain the Corvette as one of the fastest American cars around – of course that was a subjective term, but impressive, nonetheless. Hence, a C3 Corvette is a robust way to enter the world of classic American cars. Want to know more? We’ve got a 1977 Chevrolet Corvette for sale from Littleton, Colorado right here. It packs a 350ci L48 under the hood, paired with an automatic transmission to make it more convenient for those who never bothered to learn stick shift.
