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.

$54,999
SOLD

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.

1965 Pontiac GTO

PENDING SALE
$72,997

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!

PENDING SALE
$15,899

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!

1957 Chevrolet Corvette

PENDING SALE
$114,999

In 1953, Chevrolet introduced a car that would shake up the American sports car market. Yes, the Corvette was born that year. With breathtaking styling by Harley Earl, this iconic sports car initially came with a six-cylinder engine that was definitely unsuitable for such an amazing piece of automotive art and mechanical excellence. So, Chevy rectified the mistake by 1955 with the introduction of the Small-Block V8. Initially displacing 265ci, it grew to a 327ci unit by 1962. That’s what we have in this 1957 Chevrolet Corvette, with its 327ci V8 that packs dual quad carburetors and a reported output of 400 horseower. This Washington-based car also comes with its original interior, as well as original Corvette wheels. If you want a special classic Corvette that’s definitely going to be valuable for years to come, talk to us right now.
