When Ford debuted the Mustang in 1964 and created a whole new class of car known as the pony class, General Motors was on the case to create a competitor. They created two, in fact, the Camaro in 1966, and the Firebird in 1967. In 1969, Pontiac introduced a specialty package for the Firebird, called, you guessed it, the Trans Am. This 1979 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am 10th Anniversary is a celebration of Ten Years of The Trans Am. With 94,000 miles, it’s been through a fair bit of restoration and refurbishment work to ensure it stays at its best. Will you be its next custodian?
By 1979, the second generation Firebird had been around for nine years, and needed some refreshment before the third would take over three years later. The 10th Anniversary (mistakenly called the Silver Anniversary by some due to the silver paint), gave the model a much needed shot in the arm. This 1979 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am 10th Anniversary bears its distinctive silver paintwork and period wheels, wrapped in Firehawk Indy 500 tires. Just check out those details, including the prominent hood scoop, side scoop and kicked-up rear spoiler. This is peak Seventies design! The interior also features a silver and gray theme in keeping with the exterior, and seats four occupants on leather seats. The current owner reports that the interior was refinished and touched up in 2021, and reportedly sports factory air conditioning. A retro style modern head unit has been installed with Bluetooth connectivity, driving Alpine front speakers and Pioneer rear speakers. We can also see a B&M billet shifter present.
Sporting a 403ci (6.6L) V8 in the much desired ‘Shaker Hood’ configuration, this 1979 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am 10th Anniversary’s powerplant has received a lovely upgrade in the shape of a Holley Sniper fuel injection system with new fuel tank. The seller reports that the motor was rebuilt 4 years ago, while the rear end service was completed in 2021, along with an AC service. The engine was rated to put out around 200hp due to the Seventies emissions regulations, sent to the rear wheels via a three-speed automatic transmission. Power steering and power brakes are present too.

There is no doubt that Pontiac's 1960s-era cars would not have been as exciting as they were without the vision, insights, and pure determination that GM's automobile engineer and executive John DeLorean had. He and his creative team of automotive designers and engineers transformed ordinary cars into intriguing vehicles. The 1969-1970 Pontiac Grand Prix was a great example of this. The Grand Prix was first offered for the 1962 model year. Pontiac created this sporty personal luxury two-door car to compete with Ford's Thunderbird. The Grand Prix from 1969 to 1970 was available in two models, Model J being the base model. What we have here is a 1970 Pontiac Grand Prix Model J with 38,500 original miles on its clock. It has all servicing up to date and you get three keys and the original owner's manual with the sale of this car.
Our subject car here takes us back to the ’60 when muscle cars were thriving. The American brand Pontiac was doing well for itself with its models like the GTO, Firebird, Catalina, and Bonneville. There were few models under their belt, which didn’t rise to fame like the others. They include the 2+2, Grand Prix, Star Chief, Tempest, and LeMans, and all of them share the company's robust V8 engines. After Pontiac was discontinued, these models found their place as highly desirable collectibles today. Needless to say, this 1967 Pontiac LeMans is also one of the rare classics that you don’t come across every day. Belonging to the second generation of the LeMans, this car bears one of the most powerful engines available for its time.
The Pontiac Catalina was Pontiac’s full-size offering between 1950 and 1981. The Catalina was initially a trim offering on the automaker’s Chieftain, before becoming its own nameplate. Pontiac made the Catalina with many body styles, including a sedan, station wagon, convertible and coupe. This 1963 Pontiac Catalina Sport Coupe is probably the sportiest offering of the line-up, and it looks fantastic, having just 38,300 miles on the clock. The current owner reports that the car was recently appraised in June 2024 as well.
The second-generation Chevrolet Corvette (C2) is where the legendary Corvette inherited its sharp lines and looks that are still used to this day. This new design over the first-generation Corvette did not only present itself with a spectacular view but also newfound handling prowess. The new lighter body meant this convertible found more acceleration than its predecessor, even though the power remained the same and the new suspension significantly improved handling. All the 1963 cars came out with 372 ci engines, making 250 horsepower as standard, with optional variants like this particular restored model we have for you today, which can produce a whopping 340 horsepower. All this excitement for the second-generation Corvette resulted in an increase of 50% in units built compared to the then-record-setting 1962 version. This made the C2 an automotive icon of the past and present. We’re told that this 1963 convertible American beauty, for sale in Rosamond, California, has only done less than 1000 miles on the odometer after restoration. The current owner also reports that the numbers are matching for the motor and transmission, however documentation cannot be provided.
The Chevrolet Impala has played the role of the Bowtie’s flagship full-size car for years. Produced over ten generations, the Impala was first introduced in 1957. Named after the eponymous African antelope, the first generation was strictly a two-door affair. Buyers could choose a coupe or convertible. If you’d like to own a classic Impala but with a bit more pep up and go, this 1958 Chevrolet Impala is a worthy contender. The car comes with an upgraded engine, but remains otherwise stock as far as possible. That makes it a lovely classic car to own and drive, but something to surprise other classics with when the mood strikes.
Chevy’s El Camino is iconically known for its coupe utility body style. Basically, the coupe utility combines the ride comfort and handling of a car’s monocoque construction with the versatility of a pickup truck. Adapted from a Chevy two-door station wagon, the El Camino appeared in 1959, to compete with Ford’s Ranchero. Five generations of El Camino were made until 1987 when the nameplate was quietly retired. If you’ve always been intrigued by this pastiche of coupe and pickup truck, consider picking up this 1980 Chevrolet El Camino as your next classic. This 53,500-mile example comes to you with all maintenance reportedly up to date, so it’s basically a buy-and-drive classic.
