Pontiac’s Firebird is arguably the brand’s most famous model. Produced over four generations between 1967 and 2002, the Firebird has gained cult classic status. Sometimes known as a Trans Am, the Trans Am package was in fact a specialty package for the Firebird. The third generation ran between 1982 and 1992 and is most famous as being the basis for the hero car of Knight Rider - KITT, as well as his evil arch-nemesis KARR. If you’d like to own a Firebird from this hallowed generation, here’s a nice 1989 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am from Florida with 28,232 that’s reportedly owned and maintained by a mechanic with 30 years of experience.
The third generation saw edgier and sharper styling in line with the Eighties styling trends. The windshield was set at a steep 62 degree angle, which was the steepest attempted by any GM product at the time. Electronically-controlled pop-up headlamps made an appearance, and the front bumper sported the ‘V’ shape that is all-the-more pronounced in the Knight Rider cars. Whilst this 1989 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am may is not in the iconic black, it sports a very eye-catching Flame Red Metallic paint job that glistens in the sunshine. It rolls on 16-inch gold and silver alloy wheels wrapped in 245-section BF Goodrich tires which are reportedly no more than a year and a half old, and have all of 30 miles on them. Round the rear, you find the decklid spoiler and the Pontiac ‘Screaming Chicken’ motif between the tail lamps. Climb aboard and you are greeted by the all-original Saddle and Black interior, featuring Saddle Brown leather seating for four, although the rears are better suited for children. The gauge pod featuring the tacho, 140mph speedo and auxiliary gauges faces the driver, as does a four-spoke steering wheel with button controls for the radio, which is a nice Eighties Delco unit that also offers an auto-reverse cassette tape player and five-band equalizer. The AC is reported to be functioning as well.
The third generation Firebird could be had with a range of V6 and V8 engines, but the emission control regulations at the start of the decade seriously strangled the early engines. By the mid to late Eighties, power was on the way back up. This 1989 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am packs a 350ci (5.7L) V8 engine with fuel injection that puts out around 235hp and 330lb-ft of torque to the rear wheels via a four-speed THM 700R4 automatic transmission. Braking is via discs on all wheels. The seller reports that it’s had a new exhaust, new belts and all fluids have been replaced. The catalytic convertor has been removed but will be included in the sale.

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 GTO was born out of the spirit of defiance in the face of unreasonable corporate wrangling. You see, General Motors banned their auto divisions from participating in racing. This 1963 decision was driven by a voluntary ban in 1957 by the Automobile Manufacturers Association. Naturally, engineers, stylists and executives within the divisions weren’t happy – as you would be, naturally. After all, these were true petrolheads being strangled by suited-sorts who didn’t have the same passion as they did. Three gentlemen, namely John Z. DeLorean, Bill Collins and Russ Gee hatched a plan. They figured that while they couldn’t go auto racing as a brand, why not give customers a thinly-veiled race machine to do as they pleased with? Hence, the GTO was born in 1964, with a name directly inspired by the legendary Ferrari 250 GTO. Five generations of GTO have been made so far, and we’ve got a nice first-generation example available in Grosse Point Farms, Michigan right now. Check out this 1967 Pontiac GTO Convertible that’s a symbol of the undying American spirit of innovation, and it’s a great find that’s not to be missed!

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!
