Background Story of this 1978 Pontiac Firebird

Overview of 1978 Pontiac Firebird For Sale by Owner

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.

2001 Pontiac Firebird Formula

VERIFIED SELLER
PENDING SALE
$36,000
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.

2006 Pontiac GTO

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.
