In the fierce battle of pony cars against Ford, Pontiac's contribution, the Firebird, stood shoulder to shoulder with its Camaro sibling, sharing platforms, engines, and a legacy deeply etched in automotive history. The 1978 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am, a celebrated icon, emerged from the second generation and found immortal fame on the silver screen in Smokey and the Bandit. Now, with 88,000 miles under its belt, this legendary car is ready for a new adventure, having undergone recent maintenance and received fresh components to ensure its continued smooth performance.
Cloaked in a silver coat that accentuates its muscular lines, the 1978 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am boasts a distinctive silhouette that commands attention. Rolling on Diamond wheels with new tires, the car exudes a powerful presence, emphasized by the new dual exhaust and twin chrome tips framing the rear bumper. Iconic dual rectangular headlamps and the Screaming Chicken decal on the hood pay homage to the Trans Am legacy. Inside, the black-dominated cabin offers comfortable seating for four adults. The driver faces an analog instrument cluster featuring a 160mph speedometer, 6000rpm tachometer, water temperature and oil pressure gauges, accompanied by a clock. The center stack houses the fuel gauge, battery voltage indicator, and controls for the reportedly functional air conditioning. Modernity makes a cameo with a Kenwood Excelon radio featuring USB connectivity, complemented by upgraded speakers in the doors. The trunk, showcasing excellent condition for its age, accommodates the spare wheel and associated changing equipment.
Powering this 1978 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am is a 400ci V8 engine, generating around 220hp, a testament to its existence during the Malaise Era with stringent emission controls. Yet, the promise of aftermarket tuning looms, offering the potential to double its factory output. The four-speed manual transmission channels power to the rear wheels, ensuring an engaging driving experience. Recent enhancements, including a new radiator, water pump, distributor, plugs, wires, and fuel pump, attest to the commitment to performance and reliability, making this Trans Am ready for the road and a testament to the enduring legacy of Pontiac's iconic Firebird.
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.

This 1995 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am brings everything you’re looking for in a modern car, without driving a laptop on wheels.

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.

Modeled straight after a concept car, Larry Shinoda’s Mako Shark III to be precise, the C3 or third-gen Corvette stunned America when it hit the stands in 1968.

With Jaguar Cars recently rebranding to mixed reactions from auto enthusiasts, it’s a great time to remind ourselves of their greatest hits from the past. One of these is the XJS grand tourer. Produced between 1975 and 1996, the XJS is widely regarded as one of the most iconic Jags ever made. Its flying buttresses and grunty V12 engine all make for a superb driving experience, and one heck of a weekend cruiser. That’s why we’re glad to offer this 1992 Jaguar XJS V12. The car has covered 94,231 miles so far, and has reportedly undergone some recent maintenance.
Chevy’s fourth generation Corvette ran between 1984 and 1996, and was responsible for a major shift in America’s favorite sports car’s persona. The Corvette gained new, angular styling, a digital-style dashboard, more power, and enhanced handling. Mercifully, the much-loved pop-up headlamps were retained. Then, a high-performance variant called the ZR1 was introduced in 1990. The ZR1 drew heavily from Britain’s Lotus sports car maker. Enhancements included a new LT5 V8 engine, larger brakes and sportier suspension tuning. This makes the fourth-generation ZR1 one of the most sought-after neo-classic Corvettes. Here’s a great example up for grabs right now, a 1991 Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 with just 69,000 miles on the clock. It’s got a rebuilt engine, while all info is as reported by the current owner.
