Background Story of this 1978 Pontiac Firebird

Overview of 1978 Pontiac Firebird For Sale by Owner

Muscle cars played a big part in Hollywood; their iconic designs graced the big screen in style. Looking back at the most impressive muscle cars in classic Hollywood flicks and, you can't turn a blind eye to the legendary Smokey and the Bandit Pontiac Trans AM. Built to be a movie icon and a performance machine, the Pontiac Trans Am is a hot property in the collectors market. It's time you got in the fun and drove off in this 1978 Pontiac Trans AM we have today. With a reported 93,940 miles on the clock, this Hollywood legend is a performance machine and a movie icon waiting for its new custodians.

Exterior and Interior

You can't mistake the look of a Pontiac Trans Am; the best color combo that boats its personality is the iconic black and gold. Take a quick walk around this classic American muscle, and you are treated to a black exterior that dons the iconic gold stickering throughout the car. When comparing the movie car to this, you would note the car looks like Burt Reynolds's chosen piece of machinery; the large Phoenix sticker is present on the car's bonnet, and a large hood scoop to match. In terms of shoes, this Hollywood legend sits on a set of Factory Five snowflake wheels made to match the car's exterior. The black interior of this 1978 Pontiac Trans AM is in complete factory condition and dons all its interior components. A closer eye reveals tasteful upgrades, which include an updated AM/FM stereo with a cassette for your tunes, air conditioning for those hot summer drives, and a Hurst gear knob for a better drive feel.

Engine

It's not all Hollywood flair with this 1978 Pontiac Trans AM; pop open the hood, and you will find a 400ci (6.6L) V8 powertrain capable of ensuring severe performance on tap. The current owner reports some features to take your drive experience up a notch: the power steering in place ensures a smoothened-out drive feel, power brakes for enhanced stopping power, and a Rochester 4-barrel carburetor for efficient power delivery. Speaking of power delivery, this American classic channels all its performance to its rear wheels through a manual transmission.

2001 Pontiac Firebird Formula

VERIFIED SELLER
PENDING SALE
$34,500
SOLD

By 2001, the fourth-generation F-body platform was nearing the end of its production run, and cars like this represented the final chapter of Pontiac’s classic rear-wheel-drive muscle era. This 2001 Pontiac Firebird Formula Coupe comes equipped with the desirable WS6 Ram Air Performance & Handling Package and shows under 13,000 miles, placing it in exceptionally preserved territory for a 25-year-old performance car. With its aggressive Trans Am appearance conversion, functional Ram Air hood, and legendary LS1 powerplant, this example delivers the raw, analog driving experience enthusiasts crave—without modern electronic interference. Low-mileage LS1 cars are becoming increasingly difficult to find in this condition, making this one particularly appealing to collectors and drivers alike.

1957 Pontiac Star Chief Safari Wagon Restomod

VERIFIED SELLER
PENDING SALE
$84,999

Pontiac’s Star Chief was a full-size offering available between 1947 and 1966, across six generations. It represented the top trim level for the Chieftain model, and as such, sat at the upper echelons of Pontiac’s hierarchy. Today’s 1957 Pontiac Star Chief Custom Safary 2-Door Wagon Restomod is a bit different, though. It’s a restomod with some neat upgrades and makes for a fine classic daily driver. With over 120,000 miles on the clock, this car has been around quite a bit, but it’s not tired at all. Rather, this Riverside-based Pontiac is ready for even more action if you please. It’s got a 347ci V8 with FiTech Go Tri-Power electronic fuel injection, an aftermarket audio system and even air conditioning!

1946 Pontiac Streamliner

VERIFIED SELLER
PENDING SALE
$19,999

Aptly named, just look at this fine maroon 1946 Pontiac Streamliner Sedan from Manorville, New York! It’s not hard to see why Pontiac named it the Streamliner, especially with those swooping, aero-inspired rear design aspects. Introduced in 1942, the Streamliner was aimed at offering dependable motoring in the full-size segment, for the emerging middle class. Pontiac were getting ready for the end of World War II and the resultant economic uptick, and they jumped on the bandwagon quite early. Hence, the car sold quite well, but few survived as you’d expect from something that’s eighty years old. This 108,000-mile example is thus a great vintage car to add to your collection, or start a collection with. It’s got a tan interior, a 239ci straight six and a 3-speed manual box to get things moving.
