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.
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.
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 Pontiac Firebird is well-known for its roles in two of TV’s most popular series. The second generation starred in The Rockford Files. Then, the third generation would become immortalized forever as Knight Rider’s KITT. You might not know it, but the Pontiac Banshee IV concept car that was used as the inspiration for the Knight 4000 in the Knight Rider 2000 movie was also the car that heavily influenced Pontiac’s fourth-generation Firebird.

Hang on, this car’s shape sure does look familiar. Yup, that’s because it’s a third-generation Pontiac Firebird, the car that gave Knight Rider’s KITT its body. What better way for GM to drum up publicity for their third-gen Firebird when it launched in 1982 than for it to be shown on the hit TV show? In fact, GM had to request the show’s creators to not refer to KITT as a Trans Am, because people were walking into Pontiac showrooms and asking to buy a KITT! Well, this particular car won’t get mistaken for KITT because it’s a different color and doesn’t have that iconic nose or digital dashboard! But that doesn’t mean it’s not a fine '80s classic. In fact, there are quite a few third-gen Firebird and Trans Am enthusiasts who prefer their cars in stock form. If that’s you, pick up this 1988 Pontiac Firebird and enjoy its company on long drives. The car’s got just 31,500 reportedly all-original miles under its belt, and comes with maintenance records for peace of mind.
There are few cars that are as well known as the Pontiac GTO. The first GTO arguably created the muscle car genre, but this, the second generation, helped define the segment for years to come. The 1968 Pontiac GTO won MotorTrend’s Car of the Year award, and it’s not hard to see why. Here was a car that packed enormous power into a beautiful bodyshell, and with an affordable price tag. Our featured car mixes things up with a new riff on this classic. Instead of the old-school 6.6-liter V8, you’ll find a more modern 5.3-liter Chevy LS engine under the hood. And that’s just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to this 1968 Pontiac GTO restoration.
