The third generation Firebird will always be remembered as the car that was used as the base of KITT in Glen A Larson’s hit TV series Knight Rider. Sadly, the show ended after the fourth season in 1986, so why not celebrate its memory with this 1986 Pontiac Firebird WS6? True, it’s not in the same color as KITT, but that’s alright because it’s a WS6 edition with just 18,000 miles since new. Third generation Firebirds in such clean and stock form are becoming increasingly rare to find, as they tend to be the subject of various conversions, making this car highly collectible for a discerning enthusiast to own, covet, and of course, drive.
Check out the crisp lines of the third-generation Firebird that debuted in 1982 and ran for ten years, and it doesn’t matter that this car isn’t black, with a custom bumper and bowling-ball hubcaps. Instead, this 1986 Pontiac Firebird WS6 wears a Metallic Red paintwork with matte black rear spoiler with twin hood scoops, the obligatory pop-up headlamps, and the desirable T-top configuration. Factory alloy wheels in silver and black complete the outlook, and there are Firebird, Trans Am and ‘Screaming Chicken’ motifs in strategic places. The red and gray interior on this 1986 Pontiac Firebird WS6 looks excellent, as you’d expect from such a low-miler. You’ve got factory air conditioning, cruise control, premium sound system with auto reverse tape deck and five-band equalizer, power windows, power door locks, and classic Eighties plush seating for four occupants, and there’s luggage space beneath the glass rear window.
The third generation Firebird entered the market at a time when engines were severely restricted by draconian emissions regulations, hence outputs were at all-time lows. However, by 1985, things were looking up again, which is why this 1986 Pontiac Firebird WS6, with its 305ci (5.0L) Tuned Port Injection (TPI) V8 puts out 210hp. Power steering and power disc brakes are on hand, as well as the WS6 Handling Package which makes this a muscle car that can cut it in the corners too.
The fourth generation Pontiac Firebird was released in 1993, but no-one realized that this would, sadly, be the last generation for this iconic pony car. Sporting futuristic styling inspired by the Pontiac Banshee IV concept car, the fourth-generation Trans Am promised great things and managed to deliver on most of those promises. In 1994, Pontiac released a 25th Anniversary special edition that came with features such as white leather seats, white wheels, and a white-painted body with a single blue stripe. Buyers could have this edition in any of the three available body styles. Now, we’ve got one of those cars in desirable T-top form up for sale in Irvington, Alabama. Say Howdy to this 1994 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am 25th Anniversary that’s traveled just 21,269 miles in its life so far. The car looks to be in fantastic condition and is ideal for someone who will love it and cherish it, as well as drive it with gusto.
Pontiac’s Firebird was well-known for many reasons. It starred as the hero car in Smokey and the Bandit during its second generation. When it entered the third generation in 1982, the Firebird gained new levels of fame as Knight Rider’s KITT, as well as his evil twin KARR. But did you know that the Firebird has always been the sister car of the Camaro? The answer to Ford’s Mustang, GM introduced the Firebird and Camaro in 1967 to fight in the pony car space. Firebirds were made across four generations until 2002. Today, we’ve got a nice third-generation 1989 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am GTA for sale in West Columbia, Texas. Yes, it’s the ‘Knight Rider’ model, albeit it isn’t black and doesn’t sport a sweeping red scanner bar. However, it is a high performance variant which was really sought after in its heyday. Today, this 159,164-mile car makes for a great practical classic that you can drive and display alike.
Pontiac’s Firebird, widely known as one of the most iconic pony cars ever to grace the silver screen, breathed its last breath by the end of 2002. Yes, Pontiac officially axed the Firebird nameplate after more than three decades of performance heritage, and the brand itself would be shelved by General Motors several years later. Famous for its starring roles in Smokey and the Bandit and Knight Rider, the Firebird remains one of the most recognizable American muscle cars in history. If you’re a Firebird fan, take a close look at this fourth-generation 2000 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am SLP Firehawk, now offered for sale in Carlsbad, New Mexico. With just over 28,000 miles on the odometer, this example stands out not just for its mileage, but for what it represents — a rare, factory-authorized performance upgrade by SLP Engineering (Street Legal Performance).
Fondly known as the Goat, the Pontiac GTO is one of Pontiac’s most hallowed models from the Sixties. It was conceived as a smart way to get around a General Motors management ban on divisions competing in auto racing. Three gentlemen named Bill Collins, John Z DeLorean and Russ Gee found a way round this ban. Why not give customers a car that they can then race when and how they please? Simply focus on street performance with a healthy dose of usability tossed in, then let customers do as they please. With a name inspired by none other than the Ferrari 250 GTO of the 1950s, the Pontiac GTO was born. Today’s 1967 Pontiac GTO is from the first generation and comes with under 70,000 miles on the clock. Hence, it’s a great classic to own and love, as well as drive enthusiastically. It’s also got an interesting gearbox!
