2010 saw the world lose yet another great American marque, Pontiac. They were founded in 1907 as the Oakland Motor Car Company, and subsequently in 1909 Oakland Motor Car Company was bought by GM and launched Pontiac in 1931. During the pony car decades, when Ford amazed the motoring world with the Ford Mustang, Pontiac entered the fray with their own offering in the form of the Pontiac Firebird. Produced until 2002 and with four generations under its belt, the Firebird captured the hearts of everyone especially those who were acclaimed to the “Knight Rider” series. Up for grabs is a 1986 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am with a new 0-mileage powerhouse and some tasty performance upgrades.
Exterior and Interior
The 1986 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am is bedecked in an expected yet appropriate custom paint job in blue more akin to midnight blue. The front features electronically controlled retractable headlamps and a new fiberglass functional hood with blue flames. The sides are host to side vents and have the same subtle blue flames as the hood. Full-width taillights complete with the Firebird emblem in the center make up the rear, along with the new wrap-around fiberglass “Aero Spoiler” finished in textured black and high-mounted stop lamps on the top of the back hatch window. It sits on a set of new 5-spoke vintage-style chrome painted wheels from Ion Wheels. Black leather is featured for the interior with honeycomb textured door sills. The center console is host to the manual gearbox, window controls, and an aftermarket Boss audio player. The three-spoke steering wheel with the Firebird logo etched in the middle is simply done and behind it is visible the electronic instrument cluster with white markings. Firebird emblazoned aftermarket rubber floor mats are also in place. The functional T-tops are in good order.
Engine
The best part about this 1986 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am is the new Summit Racing small-block 350 crate motor coupled to a reportedly new G-Force T-5 5-speed manual transmission. The owner reports power output at 330hp. An aluminum driveshaft is installed. The current owner reports a new UMI Performance wonderbar steering brace, welded subframe connectors, torque arm kit, transmission mount, and rear control arms. Additionally, a cowl induction has been added along with a new battery and new tires as reported by the current owner.
The 1973 Pontiac Firebird Formula 400 Trans Am Tribute is the kind of second-generation F-body that makes an immediate impression. Finished in Carousel Red over a Black interior and showing approximately 40,520 miles, it combines the desirable Formula 400 foundation with the unmistakable attitude of a Trans Am tribute. The giant hood bird, shaker-style “400” scoop, Trans Am-style graphics, Rally II-style wheels, and raised white-letter Cooper Cobras give it exactly the visual drama enthusiasts expect from early-1970s Pontiac muscle. It has the look, the stance, and most importantly, the 400ci V8 under the hood to back it up.
The 1999 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am WS6 is one of the most recognizable performance cars of the fourth-generation F-body era, combining aggressive styling with LS1 V8 power and the added hardware of Pontiac’s WS6 Performance Package. This example shows approximately 28,881 miles and is finished in Bright Red over a Taupe interior. It also features removable T-top roof panels, 17-inch aluminum wheels, a limited-slip differential, dual exhaust, and the signature rear spoiler. With low mileage for its age and the sought-after WS6 package, this Trans Am captures the raw, unmistakably American performance character that made these cars so memorable.
This 1992 Pontiac Firebird Formula takes the familiar third-generation F-body formula and adds a substantial list of performance-oriented upgrades beneath the surface. Showing approximately 178,966 miles, the current owner reports approximately 1,000 miles on the current engine build. Power comes from a 5.7L naturally aspirated small-block V8 paired with a 5-speed automatic transmission and rear-wheel drive. The build is highlighted by Holley Sniper electronic fuel injection, an aftermarket intake manifold and exhaust headers, upgraded fuel delivery, and a Mishimoto cooling system. Removable T-top roof panels add another layer of classic Firebird appeal, making this an enthusiast-focused example with unmistakable early-'90s styling and a substantially reworked V8 powertrain.

The 1959 Pontiac Catalina Convertible captures Pontiac at the dawn of its Wide-Track era, when the division was moving toward the bold styling and performance identity that would define the 1960s. Showing just 3,138 miles, this Catalina combines its sweeping open-top bodywork with a 389ci V8, 2-barrel carburetor, and 4-speed Super Hydra-Matic automatic transmission. Power steering, power brakes, factory air conditioning, and a power-operated convertible top add desirable cruising amenities to a car already defined by unmistakable late-1950s presence.
