To many, the name “Pontiac Firebird Trans Am” brings up mental images of Burt Reynolds ripping burnouts while Eastbound And Down plays in the background. “Trans Am” is a trim level in the Firebird model line, consisting of both performance and cosmetic upgrades over the standard car. The Firebird was a pony car based on the General Motors F body platform, competing with the Ford Mustang and the Mercury Cougar. 1979 saw the 2nd generation Firebird being significantly restyled, and a limited edition was offered to commemorate 10 years since the introduction of the 1969 Firebird Trans Am. 1979 was also the most successful year for the Firebird, selling over 210,000 units of which over 117,000 were Trans Ams. It was also the 1979 Daytona 500 pace car.
The design changes for 1979 included a more aerodynamic front end, a new rear spoiler and larger flares on the Trans Am, and a new single taillight across the Firebird range. While it is unclear whether this car’s color is original or was changed during the repainting, the gold paintwork certainly compliments the vehicle well. The iconic bird decal is present on the hood, as are the glass panels on the roof. The interior has been reupholstered and is a beautiful tan color that matches the exterior, with a matching 3-spoke steering wheel as well (one of the interior updates for 1979). The brushed metal back of the extensive instrument cluster has an aircraft-like appearance. The hood shaker does read “6.6” even though this car is not believed to have the 6.6L engine option. This car has air conditioning, power windows and a small modern radio unit (which blends well into the interior).
3 engine options were offered for 1979, including the 403ci V8 found in this car. It reportedly produced between 135 and 150 horsepower, which may not seem like much by modern standards, but it certainly sounded much better than most modern cars. A choice of a 4 speed Super T-10 manual or a 3 speed Turbo Hydramatic 350 automatic transmission were available, of which this car has the latter.
Now here’s a custom third-generation Trans Am that isn’t modeled after the most famous of them all; KITT. If you want a third-gen F-body pony car from Pontiac with some limited-edition chops, this 1986 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am Tojan by Knudsen is your car. It’s one of just a hundred and fifty examples made by Knudsen Automotive, and comes with Tojan brochures plus original dealer paperwork to back up its authenticity status. With just under 64,000 miles on the clock, this rather interesting car is up for grabs in Cincinnati, Ohio, and we’d suggest that you act fast because being just 1 of 150 means its rarer than many supercars!
What makes a car collectible? Rarity is most definitely not the key factor that determines collectibility; the car also needs to have appeal. While most collector cars grace polished floors with no miles clocked, one needs to understand that, after all, they are machines that require mobility and deliver smiles per gallon to their custodians. Present today is a collectible classic that is also a treat to drive and takes shape with this 2002 Pontiac Firebird Collector's Edition. With just over 2,000 examples made, this is all-American muscle you don't often see grace the interwebs and can be yours today.
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.
If you want a Sixties GTO but can’t quite stretch to the prices that pristine examples fetch, this black 1967 Pontiac LeMans Convertible GTO Tribute is a viable contender to consider. It’s available in Greenacres, Florida, with a 400ci V8 under the hood and a TH400 3-speed autobox for ease of driving. With less than 23,000 miles on the clock, this baby also rocks an aftermarket exhaust, the famous His & Hers shifter, and some aftermarket upgrades too. It’s a cool car to cruise around in, but bury the throttle pedal and it can really take off, with the accompanying V8 rumble making everyone within earshot tingle in excitement.
Pontiac’s Star Chief was a full-size offering available between 1947 and 1966, across six generations. It represented the top trim level for the Chieftain model, and as such, sat at the upper echelons of Pontiac’s hierarchy. Today’s 1957 Pontiac Star Chief Custom Safary 2-Door Wagon Restomod is a bit different, though. It’s a restomod with some neat upgrades and makes for a fine classic daily driver. With over 120,000 miles on the clock, this car has been around quite a bit, but it’s not tired at all. Rather, this Riverside-based Pontiac is ready for even more action if you please. It’s got a 347ci V8 with FiTech Go Tri-Power electronic fuel injection, an aftermarket audio system and even air conditioning!
Aptly named, just look at this fine maroon 1946 Pontiac Streamliner Sedan from Manorville, New York! It’s not hard to see why Pontiac named it the Streamliner, especially with those swooping, aero-inspired rear design aspects. Introduced in 1942, the Streamliner was aimed at offering dependable motoring in the full-size segment, for the emerging middle class. Pontiac were getting ready for the end of World War II and the resultant economic uptick, and they jumped on the bandwagon quite early. Hence, the car sold quite well, but few survived as you’d expect from something that’s eighty years old. This 108,000-mile example is thus a great vintage car to add to your collection, or start a collection with. It’s got a tan interior, a 239ci straight six and a 3-speed manual box to get things moving.
Tired of today’s appliances on wheels? May we offer this Garnet Red 1969 Chevrolet Chevelle Malibu for your well-being and overall enrichment of quality of life? It’s a stalwart American classic from the famous Chevy Chevelle family, and comes with just 8,000 miles on the clock after some refreshment work. With its nice black interior and Pioneer head unit upgrade, it’s a lovely car to drive regularly but the real fun factor lies beneath the hood, ready for a flex of your right foot. Yes, there’s a good American V8 down there, displacing all of 454 cubic inches and endowed with some nice goodies to help it make more than the reportedly approximately 400 horsepower that factory examples came with. If you’re tempted, this car is up for grabs in Lubbock.
Collaborations can truly be a lovely thing when done right, and Plymouth did exactly that with its iconic Roadrunner back in the 60s. What was a reported payment of $50,000 for name rights and a further $10,000 to develop the iconic “beep beep” horn is now a cult classic in the muscle car collectors' circle. Present today is your chance to own a true American icon that takes shape with this 1970 Plymouth Roadrunner. Hailing from Saint Mary’s, Ohio and with just 34,793 miles on its clock, this quirky classic can be yours to “beep beep” your way into the weekend.
Ever wondered what families drove in the Fifties? This green and cream 1957 Chevrolet 210 2-Door Sedan is one such possibility. The Chevy 210 range was introduced in 1953 and ran for four years until the Biscayne took over. It was targeted at the middle class buyer, and positioned as a midrange car, with some luxury appointments as well as economical features. Today’s example comes to you from Hillsboro, Ohio, with around 73,000 miles on the clock. It’s got a rebuilt 235ci straight six, a repainted exterior and a reupholstered interior in matching green and cream two-tone. Now, it makes for a fine classic car to own and drive every now and then. The current owner says that this baby has got under 3,000 miles on it since restoration.
