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.

1979 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am

VERIFIED SELLER
PENDING SALE
$44,999
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.

2004 Pontiac GTO

VERIFIED SELLER
PENDING SALE
$19,000

The Pontiac GTO, one of the last hurrahs for the iconic Pontiac brand before General Motors shelved them in 2010. In the Sixties and Seventies, the GTO was a performance icon, one of the signature muscle cars of the time. However, by the Malaise Era, the GTO had to be retired…but only for a couple of decades. You see, in the Two Thousands, General Motors’ Australian subsidiary Holden was making a fine two-door sports car called the Monaro. It had all the requisite characteristics such as a 350ci V8 and suitably alluring looks. So, GM figured that they might as well import the Monaro into the United States, make a few tweaks, and call it the GTO. So yes, this 2004 Pontiac GTO for sale in Conway, Arkansas actually started life in Adelaide, Australia before being shipped Stateside and sold through Pontiac. It’s a 6-speed manual car that’s received a Lingenfelter Performance Engineering tune, plus several nice upgrades. With just 55,500 miles on the clock and plenty of features to make it suitable for daily driving, this could be your modern muscle car fix right here.

VERIFIED SELLER
PENDING SALE
$37,499

​ The mention of the Pontiac GTO is enough to make one think of the '60s muscle legend and Hollywood star. While the GTO moniker is best represented by its '60s offering, there is another muscle car that donned the same name that at times, can be overlooked. Present today is the Pontiac GTO marque and its muscular personality, but way younger, taking shape with this 2006 Pontiac GTO. With a reported 28,999 miles on its clock, this all-original example is a rare bird in the world of American muscle and is reported to come with its owner's manual, window sticker, and a whole lot of tail-happy memories if you choose to take ownership.
