A much-revered name in the motoring world is Pontiac. It is safe to say that Pontiac was a trailblazer in the automotive industry, especially in the North American market. The Pontiac Firebird was built from 1967 to 2002 under four distinct generations, with the first-generation Pontiac Firebird — as featured here — having “Coke bottle” styling similar to that of the Chevrolet Camaro. The Firebird was characteristic of its high power and sporty looks, and the movie series Smokey and the Bandit, along with Knight Rider, forever made the Firebird nameplate a pop culture icon. Up for grabs is a detailed 1979 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am build with 86,500 miles on the odometer.
1979 saw the Pontiac Firebird Trans Am receive a redesigned front end, which features a more angular design with rectangular lights. This Firebird is reportedly still draped in its original brilliant white exterior finish with original decals in blue. True to its name, the hood is host to the firebird or more commonly known as the Screaming Chicken decal, along with the shaker hood. It sits on a set of OEM snowflake-style wheels with machined faces and black-painted inserts. The rear is host to full-width louvers on the rear window painted in black. The interior is appointed in greyish blue-themed cloth and finish. The doors still hold the original black and red Firebird badges. The dash has undergone a modern transformation that blends seamlessly with the classic muscle car. The stock gauges and the instrument cluster have been replaced with a custom Intellitronix Digital Dash display in blue. A new aftermarket Alpine Bluetooth-capable head unit is installed, which is paired with a set of speakers from Kicker. The seller reports that the air conditioning and heater are in working order. Power locks and power windows are onboard and functional.
This 1979 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am features a 6.6L V8 engine with a host of upgrades and is mated to a Turbo 400 automatic transmission with a B&M Street/Strip shift kit. Mechanical work includes ported Edelbrock aluminum heads, stainless steel rocker arms, oil-restricted push rods, aftermarket cams and lifters, an Edelbrock 800CFM carburetor, new headers, a 2.5” custom exhaust, an aluminum radiator, dual electric cooling fans, electric fuel pump, 3000 RPM stall converter, and a High Torque mini starter. The seller reports that all motor work was done professionally and has itemized receipts.
Widely popularized for its role in Smokey and the Bandit, the second-generation Pontiac Firebird is well regarded as a solid ’70s American classic. Never mind that the Malaise Era was in full swing, squeezing those V8s into abysmally low power outputs, there are plenty of avenues today to bring these cars back up to respectable power figures. Therefore, if you’re the kind who likes classic Firebirds, this 1979 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am is a fantastic find. It’s got a large V8 under the hood and comes bearing just 28,691 miles to its name. So don’t dilly-dally; pick up this Lubbock, Texas-based muscle car before someone else does.
We would have bought all the 1979 Trans Ams we can lay our hands on, stored them, and sold them for a fortune a few years down the pike if we had known that they would hold such value today. The Trans Ams that had this engine can be driven like there’s no tomorrow. However, it was too big to meet the government's Corporate Average Fuel Economy grade. Knowing our history, we were thrilled to take in this staggering 1979 Pontiac Trans AM with just 74,563 original miles on its clock. Currently located in Willingboro, New Jersey, this beauty is reportedly a family-owned car ready to be driven away by its new owner.
Pontiac’s Firebird is one of the most iconic pony cars. Made across four generations between 1967 and 2002, the Firebird was the Camaro’s sister car. The similarities weren’t just visual; they were basically the same under the skin as well. The second-generation Firebird really made a name for itself through its screen presence on Smokey and the Bandit. The car used for the movie was a 1977 Firebird Trans Am, so if you’re a fan of the film, here’s a 1977 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am for sale right now. This car comes with an upgraded engine and upgraded suspension as well. Just don’t try to jump it; many of the movie's stunt cars didn’t survive the experience.
The Catalina nameplate in Pontiac nomenclature initially represented a top-level trim for the existing Chieftain Eight and DeLuxe Eight models. However, as we’ve seen many times before with American manufacturers, trim levels have been spun off as separate models. For the Catalina, this happened in 1959, offered as a two-door coupe, convertible, four-door sedan and station wagon. Today, the Catalina may not be at the top of every classic car collector’s list because not everyone remembers it, but it’s definitely an appealing choice for someone who wants to diverge from the crowd. This particular 1964 Pontiac Catalina is a four-door sedan hailing from Ballston Spa, New York, and comes with the original spare tire plus original bill of sale and even the original manual. Having traveled 77,421 miles so far, it’s ready for a new owner who will look after it and cherish it as it deserves. If that’s you, get in touch with us ASAP.
