The Pontiac Firebird certainly is one of the most iconic names in America’s automotive industry, and this particular 1981 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am is a restoration project that has breathed life back into one of these iconic vehicles to preserve it for the years to come. The seller reports the previous owner conducted a ground up restoration to bring this Firebird to its best condition, and now comes with a few additional upgrades to modernise this classic for driving in style in the 21st century.
Exterior and Interior
Black is a handsome choice for Firebirds, bringing in an aura and presence of mystery to the iconic design which sports bold design elements from front to back, with the strong, powerful lines that glide effortlessly along the body, guiding the eye as it runs, to the alluring lights in the rear end that looks straight out of a science fiction classic. The seller reports the whole exterior to comprise of the original body panels of this 1981 Pontiac Firebirds Trans Am restoration to be intact. Of course, we can’t go without mentioning the Shaker hood with gold screaming eagle and 17” Snowflake wheels, a tasteful design motif. Inside you’ll notice a whole heap of additional upgrades to make life that much more convenient for the driver. This includes power steering, a tilt steering column, cruise control, power windows and power locks, tightened side mirrors and air conditioning. The black on the exterior bleeds into the interior to create this space of calming and soothing dark colors which is perfect for the Firebird’s aesthetic.
Engine
With a Pontiac Firebird, you expect the car to have nice acceleration, decent stopping power and handling which ultimately results in a car that gives a lot of reasons to smile, and very little to frown. You might not be breaking any land speed records with its three speed automatic transmission, even though it is paired with a 6.6L V8, a mammoth of an engine, you’ll certainly have a pep in your step with each blip of the throttle, and some V8 goodness with your foot down. The reported 4 core radiator installed gives added confidence to the engine staying cool as you press it on.
This 1968 Pontiac Firebird Convertible Pro Street is a full-on blown street machine that takes first-generation Firebird styling and turns the aggression up considerably. Showing approximately 53,397 miles, this example is powered by a seller-reported 389ci supercharged V8 based on a Pontiac 350 block, topped by a 6-71 Roots-type blower and dual Edelbrock 4-barrel carburetors. Power is sent through a TH400 3-speed automatic to a 12-bolt rear end with 3.73 gearing and Positraction. Finished in Blue with custom flame graphics over a Black interior and topped with a white convertible soft top, this Firebird combines classic open-air muscle with unmistakable Pro Street attitude.
This 1980 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am Restomod takes the unmistakable attitude of the second-generation Trans Am and backs it with a substantially upgraded Pontiac powerplant. Showing approximately 60,026 total miles, this example is powered by a 461ci Pontiac stroker V8 with only about 1,200 miles on the current engine, paired with a TH350 3-speed automatic transmission. Holley Sniper 2 electronic fuel injection, aluminum cylinder heads, an aluminum intake manifold, and a functional shaker hood scoop give the drivetrain a serious enthusiast-focused character while preserving the visual identity that made the Trans Am such an icon. Finished in Blue over a Blue interior and accented by traditional Trans Am graphics and badging, this build blends late-1970s muscle-car presence with a far more capable modernized engine combination.
The 1997 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am Convertible represents the final era of Pontiac’s legendary fourth-generation F-body platform, combining classic American V8 performance with open-air cruising capability. This example has traveled 103,930 miles and is finished in Bright Silver with a Dark Pewter interior and Black convertible soft top. Equipped with the desirable WS6 Ram Air Performance Package, this Trans Am benefits from the iconic functional Ram Air induction system, high-performance upgrades, and aggressive styling cues that helped define the performance image of Pontiac’s flagship sports car. With its LT1 V8, rear-wheel-drive layout, and limited-production convertible configuration, this Trans Am remains an enthusiast-focused piece of Pontiac performance history.
The 1967 Pontiac GTO is one of those cars that needs very little introduction. By the late 1960s, the GTO name had already become synonymous with big-displacement V8 power, bold styling, and the kind of straightforward performance that helped shape the muscle-car era. Showing approximately 62,464 miles, this example brings that formula together with a 400ci V8, three-speed automatic transmission, Linden Green Metallic paintwork, a Black Cordova vinyl top, and a black vinyl bench-seat interior. Its character is further sharpened by aftermarket wheels, redline radial tires, an aluminum radiator, and a number of chrome engine-bay accents that give the car a tasteful enthusiast-oriented presentation.
The 2005 Pontiac Grand Am GT Coupe represents the final year of a nameplate that spent decades as one of Pontiac’s more accessible performance-oriented offerings. This one-owner example shows approximately 85,167 miles and is powered by a 3.4L naturally aspirated V6 paired with a 4-speed automatic transmission. Finished in Graystone Metallic over a Dark Pewter interior, it is equipped with the GT Preferred Equipment Group along with the SC/T Appearance Package and GT Solid Value Appearance Package. The combination of the SC/T composite performance hood, rear aero wing spoiler, power sunroof, and chrome-tech aluminum wheels gives this Grand Am a more distinctive look than the standard GT.
The 1984 Pontiac Fiero was a genuinely unusual American sports car when it arrived, combining a mid-engine layout, lightweight proportions, and distinctive wedge-shaped styling in a package unlike anything else in Pontiac’s lineup. This 1984 Pontiac Fiero SE shows just 17,333 miles and is equipped with the 2.5L Tech IV four-cylinder paired with a 4-speed manual transmission, giving it the more engaging drivetrain configuration for enthusiasts. Finished in red over a gray two-tone cloth interior, it also features a removable glass sunroof, rear decklid spoiler, and aftermarket 5-spoke wheels, making it a compelling example of Pontiac’s ambitious mid-engine experiment.
