Background Story of this 1981 Pontiac Firebird

Overview of 1981 Pontiac Firebird For Sale by Owner

Pontiac’s Firebird is one desirable car. It was made from 1967 to 2002 across four generations, and many believe GM didn’t have to kill it off. Yet, away it went, and Pontiac as a brand followed eight years later. The Firebird is a legend of the silver screen; the second generation on which this 1981 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am Turbo comes from is widely hailed as the era of the Smokey and the Bandit car. This car sports a reportedly original 74,814 miles and is up for grabs.

Exterior and Interior

The iconic design of the second generation was the work of Bill Porter and is very representative of its era. You’ve got curves, muscular flanks, and rounded-off corners to contend with. A wrap-around rear windshield is another iconic feature of the second-generation Firebird, and you’ll notice the similarities with the Camaro of the same era, too. It is no surprise, as the two are cousins. This 1981 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am Turbo brings you all those iconic features in a signature shade of black, punctuated by the iconic “Screaming Chicken” motif atop the hood in all its glory. The original Turbo wheels are present in gold and wear new tires. You’ve also got the original T-tops on this car. The interior of this 1981 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am Turbo features a four-seat layout with tan upholstery and seat covers for added protection. The dashboard and other trim elements are dark brown, save for a meter cluster surround in a silver metal finish. The climate control panel on this car leads us to believe that it has air conditioning, too. The only thing missing is the radio, but you can easily install one of your choice.

Engine

This 1981 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am Turbo packs a 4.9L V8 with a single Garrett TB305 turbocharger feeding its Rochester 4-barrel carburetor. The engine made 210 horsepower when new, as per Chevy figures. In this car, it’s paired with a 3-speed automatic transmission and powers the rear wheels. You’ve also got a new exhaust system with Waldron mufflers for that signature muscle car roar.

1986 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am Tojan

VERIFIED SELLER
PENDING SALE
$32,499
SOLD

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.

2002 Pontiac Firebird Trans AM Convertible Collector's Edition

VERIFIED SELLER
PENDING SALE
$29,999
SOLD

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.

2001 Pontiac Firebird Formula

VERIFIED SELLER
PENDING SALE
$34,500
SOLD

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.

1967 Pontiac LeMans GTO Convertible

VERIFIED SELLER
PENDING SALE
$67,996

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.

1957 Pontiac Star Chief Safari Wagon Restomod

VERIFIED SELLER
PENDING SALE
$84,999

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!

1946 Pontiac Streamliner

VERIFIED SELLER
PENDING SALE
$17,999

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.
