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.
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.
The fourth-generation Pontiac Firebird Trans Am remains one of the most recognizable American performance cars of the 1990s, combining aggressive styling, V8 muscle, and analog driver engagement in a package that has become increasingly collectible. This 1995 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am Coupe shows an exceptionally low 16,280 miles, making it a particularly compelling example for enthusiasts seeking preserved F-body performance. Finished in Sebring Silver Metallic over a Black leather interior, this Trans Am pairs unmistakable Pontiac styling with the highly desirable combination of Chevrolet’s LT1 V8 and a 6-speed manual transmission. Add in removable T-top roof panels, and you’ve got the kind of modern classic that delivers both open-air cruising and genuine performance involvement. For buyers looking for a low-mileage slice of 1990s American muscle, this is exactly the kind of car that stands out.
The Pontiac GTO is widely credited with igniting the muscle car era, and this 1968 Pontiac GTO Hardtop Coupe blends that legendary heritage with a host of carefully selected modern upgrades. Showing 40,094 miles on the odometer, this Mayfair Maize example retains the timeless styling cues that made the GTO an icon while benefiting from substantial improvements to its drivetrain, suspension, and braking systems. From its desirable hideaway headlights and Ram Air induction setup to its Tremec 5-speed manual transmission and Wilwood four-wheel disc brakes, this GTO offers a driving experience that is far more refined than when it left the factory. For enthusiasts seeking classic Pontiac muscle without sacrificing drivability, this thoughtfully upgraded example strikes an excellent balance between originality and performance.
Few cars can claim to have started an entire automotive segment, but the Pontiac GTO did exactly that. Widely regarded as one of the original muscle cars, the GTO combined midsize proportions with big V8 power and quickly became a legend among American performance enthusiasts. This 1965 Pontiac GTO Hardtop Coupe shows 8,577 miles on the odometer, although true mileage is unknown. Finished in eye-catching Montero Red over a black vinyl interior, this iconic hardtop captures the spirit of the mid-1960s muscle car era. Equipped with a 4-speed manual transmission and a powerful V8 under the hood, it delivers the kind of analog driving experience that has made classic GTOs highly sought after by collectors and enthusiasts alike.
The Pontiac Fiero remains one of the most unique American sports cars of the 1980s, combining exotic-inspired styling with a lightweight mid-engine layout that set it apart from virtually everything else on the road. By 1988, Pontiac had refined the Fiero into its best and most desirable form, with improved suspension geometry and enhanced handling characteristics. This 1988 Pontiac Fiero GT shows 69,337 miles and presents in an eye-catching red exterior over a gray cloth interior. Equipped with the GT package’s distinctive fastback bodywork and benefiting from numerous maintenance-related upgrades, including fuel system components, ignition components, and exhaust improvements, this Fiero represents an excellent opportunity to own one of Pontiac’s most memorable performance cars from the final year of production.
