The Pontiac Firebird is an American icon. Four generations have been produced from 1967 to 2002. the Firebird was General Motors' answer to Ford's Mustang ponycar. It is closely related to the Chevy Camaro; in fact, the Firebird and Camaro are basically the same car. They share platforms, engines, and even some interior details. Meanwhile, Trans Am signifies an upgrade package for the Firebird that brings distinctive exterior elements, an upgraded interior, and some mechanical enhancements too. Hence, if you're seeking to add a Trans Am to your collection, check out this second-generation 1979 Pontiac Trans Am. The car comes to you fresh off a full restoration, with a mere 3,500 miles on the odometer since rebirth. Will you take it on, drive it, and cherish it? Because these cars are meant to be enjoyed.
Wearing a suave coat of black, this 1979 Pontiac Trans Am looks amazing, especially as it doesn't sport the quintessential Screaming Chicken motif on the hood. If you want the Screaming Chicken, you can always source and apply it yourself. Another distinctive feature of this car are its silver alloy wheels, for a stunning contrast against the black body. Furthermore, the current owner reports that the nose of the car is from a 1978 model, and that there's new front and rear chrome for the windshield. Take a few moments to appreciate the car's muscular design, quad headlamps, and ducktail-style rear spoiler before heading inside. The interior of this 1979 Pontiac Trans Am is a four-seat affair in black leather, waiting to accept an enthusiastic driver and up to three thrilled passengers. It offers amenities such as air conditioning, power windows, power mirrors and a rear window defogger. There's also a Kenwood Excelon head unit in the center console, with newer speakers installed within the door cards. Further enhancements include a sporty three-spoke steering wheel and a Hurst gear shift knob. Meanwhile, the trunk offers ample cargo capacity and sees the spare wheel neatly wrapped up and tucked in a corner.
This 1979 Pontiac Trans Am comes with a potent 455ci V8, we're told. However, as Pontiac didn't offer this engine for the 1979 model year, we can glean that it's been retrofitted. The engine's massive power and torque are sent to the rear wheels via a 4-speed manual gearbox for pure driving pleasure. You'll also appreciate the full stainless steel exhaust system, amplifying the rumble and roar of the proper, big-displacement American V8.

The Pontiac GTO is an excellent case study in how to use innovative thinking to circumvent seemingly pointless Management decisions. You see, in 1963, General Motors banned their divisions from competing in racing. However, the people who actually designed and developed the cars weren’t pleased. After all, this was their opportunity to really make an impact, and it was being taken away. So, they decided that if factory-backed racing wasn’t allowed, why not give customers a near-racing machine to race themselves? After all, once a customer buys a car, it’s their right to do with it as they please. Three prolific gents, namely John Z. DeLorean, Bill Collins and Russ Gee worked on the GTO. The name was inspired by the legendary Ferrari 250 GTO, and the first generation of GTO hit the streets in 1964. Fearsome and well-received, Pontiac decided to follow up in 1968 with the second generation. Sporting a curvier and more streamlined body, the second-generation GTO built up on the performance persona even further. Today, we’ve got a nice 1968 Pontiac GTO that’s covered less than 23,000 miles and is up for sale in Westminster, Massachusetts. It’s a great classic car to own and drive, and one that can still shred tires at will.
