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.
Exterior and Interior
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”.
Engine
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.
Representing the final chapter of Pontiac’s legendary F-body performance era, this 2002 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am WS6 stands as an exceptionally preserved example of one of the most desirable modern American muscle cars of its generation. Showing an astonishingly low 401 miles and remaining a one-owner vehicle, this black-on-ebony WS6 is the kind of time-capsule collector piece that rarely surfaces. As the final model year for the Firebird before Pontiac discontinued the nameplate, the 2002 Trans Am WS6 holds a special place in GM performance history, combining aggressive styling, proven LS1 V8 power, and the unmistakable attitude that defined late-era Pontiac performance.
Few American performance cars command the same recognition as the second-generation Pontiac Firebird Trans Am, particularly examples tied to the golden Smokey & The Bandit era of late-1970s muscle. This 1979 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am, showing 38,863 miles, captures that unmistakable mix of V8 performance, aggressive styling, and pop culture nostalgia that has made these cars enduring collector favorites. Finished in Heritage Brown over a Camel interior, this example presents in a richly period-correct color combination that perfectly suits its dramatic lines and iconic presence. Equipped with the sought-after 400ci V8 and a Hurst close-ratio 4-speed manual, this Trans Am also includes desirable extras such as original new bucket seats, an extra mirror-finish set of T-tops, original paperwork, and service/body manuals, making it an especially attractive offering for collectors and enthusiasts alike.
The fourth-generation Pontiac Firebird Trans Am remains one of the most recognizable American performance cars of the 1990s, combining aggressive styling, V8 muscle, and analog driver engagement in a package that has become increasingly collectible. This 1995 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am Coupe shows an exceptionally low 16,280 miles, making it a particularly compelling example for enthusiasts seeking preserved F-body performance. Finished in Sebring Silver Metallic over a Black leather interior, this Trans Am pairs unmistakable Pontiac styling with the highly desirable combination of Chevrolet’s LT1 V8 and a 6-speed manual transmission. Add in removable T-top roof panels, and you’ve got the kind of modern classic that delivers both open-air cruising and genuine performance involvement. For buyers looking for a low-mileage slice of 1990s American muscle, this is exactly the kind of car that stands out.
The Pontiac GTO is widely credited with igniting the muscle car era, and this 1968 Pontiac GTO Hardtop Coupe blends that legendary heritage with a host of carefully selected modern upgrades. Showing 40,094 miles on the odometer, this Mayfair Maize example retains the timeless styling cues that made the GTO an icon while benefiting from substantial improvements to its drivetrain, suspension, and braking systems. From its desirable hideaway headlights and Ram Air induction setup to its Tremec 5-speed manual transmission and Wilwood four-wheel disc brakes, this GTO offers a driving experience that is far more refined than when it left the factory. For enthusiasts seeking classic Pontiac muscle without sacrificing drivability, this thoughtfully upgraded example strikes an excellent balance between originality and performance.
Few cars can claim to have started an entire automotive segment, but the Pontiac GTO did exactly that. Widely regarded as one of the original muscle cars, the GTO combined midsize proportions with big V8 power and quickly became a legend among American performance enthusiasts. This 1965 Pontiac GTO Hardtop Coupe shows 8,577 miles on the odometer, although true mileage is unknown. Finished in eye-catching Montero Red over a black vinyl interior, this iconic hardtop captures the spirit of the mid-1960s muscle car era. Equipped with a 4-speed manual transmission and a powerful V8 under the hood, it delivers the kind of analog driving experience that has made classic GTOs highly sought after by collectors and enthusiasts alike.
The Pontiac Fiero remains one of the most unique American sports cars of the 1980s, combining exotic-inspired styling with a lightweight mid-engine layout that set it apart from virtually everything else on the road. By 1988, Pontiac had refined the Fiero into its best and most desirable form, with improved suspension geometry and enhanced handling characteristics. This 1988 Pontiac Fiero GT shows 69,337 miles and presents in an eye-catching red exterior over a gray cloth interior. Equipped with the GT package’s distinctive fastback bodywork and benefiting from numerous maintenance-related upgrades, including fuel system components, ignition components, and exhaust improvements, this Fiero represents an excellent opportunity to own one of Pontiac’s most memorable performance cars from the final year of production.
