It’s the Sixties and Ford’s Mustang is dominating the class it created, namely the Pony Car, and Chevrolet’s Camaro is steadily competing with it as well. Pontiac knew that they had to act, and released their Pony Car contender in 1967. Named the Firebird, it featured the coke-bottle styling similar to the Camaro, and also gave rise to an options package called the ‘Trans Am Performance and Appearance Package’ which on its own became a moniker to describe a Firebird. Whilst the first generation ran for three model years, the second generation held sway for eleven! The second generation is renowned as the one which Burt Reynolds drove on screen in ‘Smokey and the Bandit’. If you’re looking for a slice of Pontiac history, which is all the more special since the brand no longer exists, this 1978 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am is a great option to consider. This Texas car comes with just 64,000 miles on the clock.
Exterior and Interior
The second-generation of the Firebird saw coke-bottle styling replaced for more swooping lines. Initially sporting single circular headlamps, the 1977 facelift saw the introduction of quad square headlamps and a redesigned front valance, amongst other elements. This 1978 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am showcases all those styling cues in a stunning gold paintwork with gold-and-silver alloy wheels wrapped in tires that are reportedly like new. The ‘TRANS AM’ decal at the rear is present, as is the ‘Screaming Chicken’ motif on the hood and side panels. Chromed tailpipes peek out from beneath the rear bumper. An added benefit is that this example sports the T-top configuration too. The gold exterior is well-complemented by the tan interior, which is reportedly in good condition, and offers accommodation for four occupants. A Vintage Air AC has been installed for enhanced cabin comfort, and a modern Alpine head unit with CD/MP3/WMA/AAC compatibility offers broader avenues for driving tunes.
Engine
From a 231ci (3.8L) Buick-sourced V6 to a monster 455ci (7.5L) Pontiac V8, you could choose from over ten powerplants for your second-generation Firebird. This 1978 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am sports the 400ci (6.6L) Pontiac V8 that’s had a recent tune-up and a spark plug change too. Owing to Seventies emissions regulations, these majestic engines were severely throttled, and thus, the engine is rated at 200hp and 325lb-ft of power and torque output. Drive is sent rearwards through a three-speed automatic transmission.
The third-generation Pontiac Firebird Trans Am GTA represented the pinnacle of Pontiac performance during the late 1980s, combining aggressive styling, V8 power, and grand touring comfort into one unmistakable package. This 1989 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am GTA shows 141,377 miles and is finished in Gunmetal Gray Metallic over a Medium Gray interior. As the top-tier Firebird model of its era, the GTA received exclusive styling cues, upgraded suspension components, four-wheel disc brakes, and performance-oriented drivetrain equipment that distinguished it from lesser Firebird variants. With its iconic wedge-shaped design, pop-up headlights, and T-top roof panels, this GTA embodies the spirit of late-1980s American performance while offering a driving experience that remains engaging today.
Representing the final chapter of Pontiac’s legendary F-body performance era, this 2002 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am WS6 stands as an exceptionally preserved example of one of the most desirable modern American muscle cars of its generation. Showing an astonishingly low 401 miles and remaining a one-owner vehicle, this black-on-ebony WS6 is the kind of time-capsule collector piece that rarely surfaces. As the final model year for the Firebird before Pontiac discontinued the nameplate, the 2002 Trans Am WS6 holds a special place in GM performance history, combining aggressive styling, proven LS1 V8 power, and the unmistakable attitude that defined late-era Pontiac performance.
Few American performance cars command the same recognition as the second-generation Pontiac Firebird Trans Am, particularly examples tied to the golden Smokey & The Bandit era of late-1970s muscle. This 1979 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am, showing 38,863 miles, captures that unmistakable mix of V8 performance, aggressive styling, and pop culture nostalgia that has made these cars enduring collector favorites. Finished in Heritage Brown over a Camel interior, this example presents in a richly period-correct color combination that perfectly suits its dramatic lines and iconic presence. Equipped with the sought-after 400ci V8 and a Hurst close-ratio 4-speed manual, this Trans Am also includes desirable extras such as original new bucket seats, an extra mirror-finish set of T-tops, original paperwork, and service/body manuals, making it an especially attractive offering for collectors and enthusiasts alike.

Pontiac introduced the Solstice for the 2006 model year as a stylish rear-wheel-drive roadster designed to recapture the spirit of classic American sports cars. Featuring sleek bodywork, a lightweight chassis, and balanced handling characteristics, the Solstice quickly became one of Pontiac’s most celebrated modern vehicles. This 2007 Pontiac Solstice Convertible is finished in distinctive Envious Emerald Green Metallic and equipped with a desirable 5-speed manual transmission, making it an engaging driver’s car. Notably, this example is a one-owner vehicle, a characteristic that is becoming increasingly difficult to find among enthusiast-owned sports cars of this era. Factory options including the Preferred Package, Premium Package, chrome wheels, Monsoon premium audio system, and limited-slip differential further enhance its appeal. As one of the most recognizable vehicles produced during Pontiac’s final years, the Solstice continues to attract enthusiasts seeking an affordable and enjoyable open-top driving experience.
