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.

Throughout America's automobile history, many car models were introduced and were just one-hit wonders. During the late 1960s, Pontiac, by then part of General Motors, wanted to compete with Ford's latest Pony car, the Ford Mustang. In came the Pontiac Firebird, with its Coke Bottle styling, slit taillights, and quad headlights, which were snatched up by the public in droves. Pontiac went on to produce the Firebird until 2002 with four generations of the iconic car under its belt. The third generation Firebird was produced from 1981 to 1992 and featured a radically new design from its outgoing generation. It, of course, was tremendously helped by the 80's hit TV show, Knight Rider. Up for the taking is a 1988 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am GTA, of which only 9,765 were built in the US of A and ready for the next owner to relive the good ol' muscle car days.
Undoubtedly, the '60s was the era for muscle cars, but the decades that followed may have garnered a reputation for toning that approach down just a tad. However, this changed in the 2000s with the release of the first-generation tribute Mustang and the rebirth of the Chevrolet Camaro that is now popular from the Transformer franchise. But there was another new-age muscle car that deserves a look, too: this iconic 2006 Pontiac GTO we have today. With a reported 66,000 miles on the clock, this American powerhouse is built to take your weekend drives up a notch and be the talking point at your local car show.
The golden era of muscle cars is widely thought to have peaked around the late ’60s and early ’70s. It was the time before stricter emissions and economic regulations came into play that put an end to the ever-swelling engine capacities and power outputs that manufacturers used to lure customers into their showrooms. The 1969 Pontiac GTO Coupe defined this golden era. With its stunning and aggressive design and scarcely believable engine configurations under the hood, the GTO is a true muscle car in every sense of the word. Our featured vehicle celebrates this era of design and power. It comes with the iconic 400 ci engine that has been freshly rebuilt, along with a host of new parts and accessories, enabling you to taste the best of the original muscle car era.
The mid-2000s marked a distinct shift in the automotive landscape, with consumer preferences veering towards more efficient and technologically advanced vehicles. Despite this, the era produced some noteworthy muscle cars that defied the trend, offering a nod to their glorious predecessors from the 1960s. Among these modern classics is the 2006 Pontiac GTO, a vehicle that stands out as a rare gem in an age where the roar of a large V8 engine became increasingly uncommon. With 76,000 miles logged, this GTO redefines performance for the 2000s, delivering reliability and exhilaration with every mile driven, ensuring an abundance of smiles per gallon.
