In 1967, Pontiac introduced the Firebird model as a contender in the muscle car and pony car segments, in answer to Ford’s Mustang and Chevrolet’s Camaro. Running until 2002 over four generations, the Firebird was a much-loved car from GM’s lineup and would see quite a bit of screen time too. Second-generation Firebirds were synonymous with Burt Reynolds in ‘Smokey and the Bandit’ as well as ‘The Rockford Files, whilst the third generation would become a much-loved hero in the shape of KITT from Knight Rider. If a Firebird is your catch, why not hook this 1976 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am 455 Manual from Arizona that’s an enthusiast-owned, PHS-documented example that’s gone through plenty of refurbishment and restoration, and comes with receipts and documentation too. The seller reports that the car is a ‘tire fryer’ after all the work!
Exterior and Interior
The second-generation Firebird replaced the coke-bottle styling of the first with a swoopier and more flowing body style which this 1976 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am 455 Manual beautifully shows off in its new Starlight Black paintwork and sports new decals too. It rolls on 17x9 Year One honeycomb alloy wheels with Pontiac logo on the center caps that give it a lovely resto-mod style appearance. The hood sports the iconic ‘Screaming Chicken’ decal Climb aboard and you are greeted by a black interior that’s reportedly 90% new and offers seating for up to four occupants. The gauges have been replaced by modern Cobalt units, and an interior kill mat has been installed too.
Engine
Here’s where things get superbly interesting. This 1976 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am 455 Manual packs the aforementioned 455ci (7.5L) V8 that’s reportedly period-correct but not numbers-matching. The gearbox is a Super T10 4-speed manual that’s been rebuilt, with a McLeod clutch and pressure plate, and a 3.73 Posi rear differential. The motor’s seen a whole lot of enhancements, including Icon pistons, Scat rods, Crower Level 3 cam, MSD distributor, coil, ignition, and wires, Holley 750 double-pumper, Harland sharp roller rockers with Polylocks, Holley Street Dominator intake and headers, Flowkooler water pump, Milodon 7-quart oil pan, Gen 2 Drop base from Shaker, and Griffin aluminum radiator with dual electric fans. Fueling is helped by a new electric fuel pump and a new tank. The motor’s also been reportedly balanced and blueprinted, with the heads ported and polished and the intake decked and matched. Braking is via four-wheel disc brakes with a new brake booster and master cylinder. There’s also new steering and suspension, with 2-inch lowering springs at the front and rear.
The 1973 Pontiac Firebird Formula 400 Trans Am Tribute is the kind of second-generation F-body that makes an immediate impression. Finished in Carousel Red over a Black interior and showing approximately 40,520 miles, it combines the desirable Formula 400 foundation with the unmistakable attitude of a Trans Am tribute. The giant hood bird, shaker-style “400” scoop, Trans Am-style graphics, Rally II-style wheels, and raised white-letter Cooper Cobras give it exactly the visual drama enthusiasts expect from early-1970s Pontiac muscle. It has the look, the stance, and most importantly, the 400ci V8 under the hood to back it up.
The 1999 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am WS6 is one of the most recognizable performance cars of the fourth-generation F-body era, combining aggressive styling with LS1 V8 power and the added hardware of Pontiac’s WS6 Performance Package. This example shows approximately 28,881 miles and is finished in Bright Red over a Taupe interior. It also features removable T-top roof panels, 17-inch aluminum wheels, a limited-slip differential, dual exhaust, and the signature rear spoiler. With low mileage for its age and the sought-after WS6 package, this Trans Am captures the raw, unmistakably American performance character that made these cars so memorable.
This 1992 Pontiac Firebird Formula takes the familiar third-generation F-body formula and adds a substantial list of performance-oriented upgrades beneath the surface. Showing approximately 178,966 miles, the current owner reports approximately 1,000 miles on the current engine build. Power comes from a 5.7L naturally aspirated small-block V8 paired with a 5-speed automatic transmission and rear-wheel drive. The build is highlighted by Holley Sniper electronic fuel injection, an aftermarket intake manifold and exhaust headers, upgraded fuel delivery, and a Mishimoto cooling system. Removable T-top roof panels add another layer of classic Firebird appeal, making this an enthusiast-focused example with unmistakable early-'90s styling and a substantially reworked V8 powertrain.

The 1959 Pontiac Catalina Convertible captures Pontiac at the dawn of its Wide-Track era, when the division was moving toward the bold styling and performance identity that would define the 1960s. Showing just 3,138 miles, this Catalina combines its sweeping open-top bodywork with a 389ci V8, 2-barrel carburetor, and 4-speed Super Hydra-Matic automatic transmission. Power steering, power brakes, factory air conditioning, and a power-operated convertible top add desirable cruising amenities to a car already defined by unmistakable late-1950s presence.
