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.
Have you ever heard about the tale of the phoenix? The bird that rose from its ashes? That is how you are going to feel when you drive this 1967 Pontiac Firebird Restomod for the first time. A fresh breath of brute force and power in a world filled with noise-reducing technology and electric conveyance. That is, if you are not already chest deep in the lagoon of classic cars. If that describes you, you are already aware of the significance of this car. This iconic car saw four generations, and the one we are presenting here belongs to the very first generation. This beauty boasts a comprehensive restoration, making it a very low-mileage car as well. Its current owner keeps it at Grand Junction, Colorado, at the moment, and it is all set to arrive at your driveway.
The fourth generation Pontiac Firebird was released in 1993, but no-one realized that this would, sadly, be the last generation for this iconic pony car. Sporting futuristic styling inspired by the Pontiac Banshee IV concept car, the fourth-generation Trans Am promised great things and managed to deliver on most of those promises. In 1994, Pontiac released a 25th Anniversary special edition that came with features such as white leather seats, white wheels, and a white-painted body with a single blue stripe. Buyers could have this edition in any of the three available body styles. Now, we’ve got one of those cars in desirable T-top form up for sale in Irvington, Alabama. Say Howdy to this 1994 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am 25th Anniversary that’s traveled just 21,269 miles in its life so far. The car looks to be in fantastic condition and is ideal for someone who will love it and cherish it, as well as drive it with gusto.
Pontiac’s Firebird was well-known for many reasons. It starred as the hero car in Smokey and the Bandit during its second generation. When it entered the third generation in 1982, the Firebird gained new levels of fame as Knight Rider’s KITT, as well as his evil twin KARR. But did you know that the Firebird has always been the sister car of the Camaro? The answer to Ford’s Mustang, GM introduced the Firebird and Camaro in 1967 to fight in the pony car space. Firebirds were made across four generations until 2002. Today, we’ve got a nice third-generation 1989 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am GTA for sale in West Columbia, Texas. Yes, it’s the ‘Knight Rider’ model, albeit it isn’t black and doesn’t sport a sweeping red scanner bar. However, it is a high performance variant which was really sought after in its heyday. Today, this 159,164-mile car makes for a great practical classic that you can drive and display alike.
Pontiac’s GTO was born out of the spirit of defiance in the face of unreasonable corporate wrangling. You see, General Motors banned their auto divisions from participating in racing. This 1963 decision was driven by a voluntary ban in 1957 by the Automobile Manufacturers Association. Naturally, engineers, stylists and executives within the divisions weren’t happy – as you would be, naturally. After all, these were true petrolheads being strangled by suited-sorts who didn’t have the same passion as they did. Three gentlemen, namely John Z. DeLorean, Bill Collins and Russ Gee hatched a plan. They figured that while they couldn’t go auto racing as a brand, why not give customers a thinly-veiled race machine to do as they pleased with? Hence, the GTO was born in 1964, with a name directly inspired by the legendary Ferrari 250 GTO. Five generations of GTO have been made so far, and we’ve got a nice first-generation example available in Grosse Point Farms, Michigan right now. Check out this 1967 Pontiac GTO Convertible that’s a symbol of the undying American spirit of innovation, and it’s a great find that’s not to be missed!

Fondly known as the Goat, the Pontiac GTO is one of Pontiac’s most hallowed models from the Sixties. It was conceived as a smart way to get around a General Motors management ban on divisions competing in auto racing. Three gentlemen named Bill Collins, John Z DeLorean and Russ Gee found a way round this ban. Why not give customers a car that they can then race when and how they please? Simply focus on street performance with a healthy dose of usability tossed in, then let customers do as they please. With a name inspired by none other than the Ferrari 250 GTO of the 1950s, the Pontiac GTO was born. Today’s 1967 Pontiac GTO is from the first generation and comes with under 70,000 miles on the clock. Hence, it’s a great classic to own and love, as well as drive enthusiastically. It’s also got an interesting gearbox!
You can’t go amiss by choosing a first-generation Ford Mustang as your starter classic car. Ford’s signature model created the whole pony car arena, and over sixty years later, remains the sole survivor of the segment. The first generation Mustang was offered between 1964 (called 1964½ models) and 1973. Along the way, it offered various engines and came in some high-performance variants too. Buyers could choose three body styles, and many went for the stylish fastback or the slick convertible. But, the third choice, the two-door hardtop offered sleek and arguably unappreciated style that really made owning one a personal choice of distinction. Today, we’ve got a 1967 Ford Mustang Hardtop for sale in Goodyear, Arizona. With its host of upgrades, this is a classic car that’s suitable for daily driving if desired. Snap it up soon!
Classic car styling blended with modern day aesthetics makes for a machine that takes a lot of your time as you stand back and look at it with awe. The perfect blend is a topic that sees a lot of discussion but the general priority would be to balance out modern day looks while not taking the character of a classic car away. Present today is rare occasion when the perfect blend takes shape and looks like this 1955 Chevrolet Bel Air.
There comes a time when a car takes things up a notch and has cult following status the moment it leaves its factory floors. BMW’s range of M3’s are most definitely that type, with most models redefining what the perfect drive experience is like. Present today is what is arguably one of the M3’s finest and takes shape with this 1995 BMW M3 Coupe. With a reported 53,000 miles on its clock, this one-owner German powerhouse is a true rare example that keeps on giving on every drive out and also serves as a very savvy investment in the years to come.
