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.
Wearing a very ’70s gold paint job, this 1979 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am’s design is nothing short of iconic. It’s easy to see why the car was chosen for Smokey and the Bandit, albeit in single headlamp form. This car sports dual headlamps, a design feature introduced in 1979. The car rides on a set of gold and silver alloy wheels with Firehawk Indy 500 tires. Meanwhile, the hood features a shaker hood scoop and the iconic Screaming Chicken motif that’s much sought after in Firebirds from this era. The scoop also tells us that there’s a 6.6-liter engine beneath. But we’re not done with exterior details. Moving towards the rear of the car, you’ll note that it’s got twin T-tops for a semi-convertible experience when desired. Then, the rear window features black plastic slats, which are a very Seventies feature that not only came on American cars but some European and Japanese machines, too. The interior of this 1979 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am is in a color scheme of tan and brown and can accommodate four adults. We’re told that there’s functional air conditioning and an upgraded retro-style radio. You’ve also got a sporty three-spoke steering wheel and a gauge cluster that’s widely called the “Rally Pack”.
Powering this 1979 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am is a naturally aspirated 403ci (6.6L) V8 with headers and hydraulic cams, powering the rear wheels via a 3-speed automatic transmission. There’s also a new exhaust so that you can enjoy the V8’ rumble to the maximum.

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.
The 1966 Ford Fairlane 500 Convertible is a standout example of classic American open-top motoring, elevated by the presence of a desirable GTA-spec 390ci V8. Showing 11,364 miles on the odometer, this Fairlane blends vintage styling with thoughtful upgrades that enhance both reliability and driving enjoyment. The GTA engine—originally associated with Ford’s performance-oriented Fairlane GT/A models—adds an extra layer of appeal, delivering strong torque and smooth power delivery. Finished in light blue metallic over a blue interior with a white convertible top, this car embodies the spirit of effortless cruising with a performance edge.
The 1973 Mercedes-Benz 450 SL represents the beginning of the iconic R107 generation, a platform that would go on to define luxury roadsters for nearly two decades. Showing 27,315 miles, this example stands out with its striking Signal Red finish and classic Bamboo interior—an unmistakably period-correct combination. Known for its durability, smooth V8 power, and timeless styling, the 450 SL quickly became a symbol of success and refined motoring in the 1970s. With both a removable hardtop and a soft top, it offers year-round usability, making it as practical as it is collectible.
This 1971 Chevrolet Nova Coupe is a fully restored and extensively upgraded street machine that delivers both show-quality presentation and serious performance. Showing just 1,656 miles since completion, this build presents as fresh, dialed-in, and ready to enjoy. Finished in stunning Vista Blue using PPG base/clear, the car has recently been cut, buffed, and polished to a deep, mirror-like shine, further protected by a ceramic coating. The all-steel body—including the aggressive 4-inch cowl hood—is exceptionally straight and clean throughout, including the floors, trunk, and frame. With its combination of low post-build mileage, high-end components, and meticulous restoration, this Nova stands out as a turn-key muscle car with both visual impact and real performance credibility.
