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.
Exterior and Interior
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.
Engine
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.
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 2009 Pontiac G8 GT Sedan is one of the more memorable performance sedans from Pontiac’s final years, combining understated four-door styling with the kind of rear-wheel-drive V8 layout enthusiasts still seek today. Showing approximately 50,459 miles, this example is finished in Liquid Red over an Onyx/Red leather interior and is equipped with both the Premium Package and Sport Package. Its 6.0L naturally aspirated V8, 6-speed automatic transmission, 19-inch machine-faced wheels, and performance-oriented interior details give it a strong blend of everyday usability and muscle-car character.
The 2009 Pontiac Solstice Coupe is one of the more distinctive enthusiast cars to emerge from Pontiac’s final years, combining the compact proportions of the Solstice roadster with a fixed-roof coupe body and removable targa-style roof panel. Showing approximately 67,000 miles, this example is finished in Victory Red over an Ebony interior with two-tone red and black seating. Its naturally aspirated 2.4L Ecotec four-cylinder engine is paired with a 5-speed manual transmission and rear-wheel drive, giving it the simple, lightweight sports-car formula that made the Solstice appealing when new. The coupe body style is also far less common than the roadster, adding an extra layer of interest for collectors and Pontiac enthusiasts.
