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.
This 1992 Pontiac Firebird Formula takes the familiar third-generation F-body formula and adds a substantial list of performance-oriented upgrades beneath the surface. Showing approximately 178,966 miles, the current owner reports approximately 1,000 miles on the current engine build. Power comes from a 5.7L naturally aspirated small-block V8 paired with a 5-speed automatic transmission and rear-wheel drive. The build is highlighted by Holley Sniper electronic fuel injection, an aftermarket intake manifold and exhaust headers, upgraded fuel delivery, and a Mishimoto cooling system. Removable T-top roof panels add another layer of classic Firebird appeal, making this an enthusiast-focused example with unmistakable early-'90s styling and a substantially reworked V8 powertrain.
This 1968 Pontiac Firebird Convertible Pro Street is a full-on blown street machine that takes first-generation Firebird styling and turns the aggression up considerably. Showing approximately 53,397 miles, this example is powered by a seller-reported 389ci supercharged V8 based on a Pontiac 350 block, topped by a 6-71 Roots-type blower and dual Edelbrock 4-barrel carburetors. Power is sent through a TH400 3-speed automatic to a 12-bolt rear end with 3.73 gearing and Positraction. Finished in Blue with custom flame graphics over a Black interior and topped with a white convertible soft top, this Firebird combines classic open-air muscle with unmistakable Pro Street attitude.
This 1980 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am Restomod takes the unmistakable attitude of the second-generation Trans Am and backs it with a substantially upgraded Pontiac powerplant. Showing approximately 60,026 total miles, this example is powered by a 461ci Pontiac stroker V8 with only about 1,200 miles on the current engine, paired with a TH350 3-speed automatic transmission. Holley Sniper 2 electronic fuel injection, aluminum cylinder heads, an aluminum intake manifold, and a functional shaker hood scoop give the drivetrain a serious enthusiast-focused character while preserving the visual identity that made the Trans Am such an icon. Finished in Blue over a Blue interior and accented by traditional Trans Am graphics and badging, this build blends late-1970s muscle-car presence with a far more capable modernized engine combination.

The 1967 Pontiac GTO is one of those cars that needs very little introduction. By the late 1960s, the GTO name had already become synonymous with big-displacement V8 power, bold styling, and the kind of straightforward performance that helped shape the muscle-car era. Showing approximately 62,464 miles, this example brings that formula together with a 400ci V8, three-speed automatic transmission, Linden Green Metallic paintwork, a Black Cordova vinyl top, and a black vinyl bench-seat interior. Its character is further sharpened by aftermarket wheels, redline radial tires, an aluminum radiator, and a number of chrome engine-bay accents that give the car a tasteful enthusiast-oriented presentation.
The 2005 Pontiac Grand Am GT Coupe represents the final year of a nameplate that spent decades as one of Pontiac’s more accessible performance-oriented offerings. This one-owner example shows approximately 85,167 miles and is powered by a 3.4L naturally aspirated V6 paired with a 4-speed automatic transmission. Finished in Graystone Metallic over a Dark Pewter interior, it is equipped with the GT Preferred Equipment Group along with the SC/T Appearance Package and GT Solid Value Appearance Package. The combination of the SC/T composite performance hood, rear aero wing spoiler, power sunroof, and chrome-tech aluminum wheels gives this Grand Am a more distinctive look than the standard GT.
